Clever idea. You can bet the Obama team does the same thing.
Please don’t call me. I can’t stand getting political calls, even those on behalf of candidates I support. They are intrusive and annoying. I suspect alot of people feel the way I do.

Indeed. How do they keep the OWS bots from using the Romney call list to call for Obama?
Exactly. I hate any non-solicited phone calls. I hang up on them. If they call back, I chew them out.
I’ll do anything BUT phone bank.
I hate getting calls from total strangers wanting something, be it political or charity or whatever. I won’t do to other people what I don’t want done to myself.
But for those who don’t mind manning the phones, it is a great way to support the candidate.
I suspect you are in the majority.
I've made phone calls starting in 2000 for GWB and even called last cycle {but my heart was not in it and I didn't work very diligently}.
I loved Sarah but mcpain was hard to work for.
This cycle, I'm calling for Ryan/Romney and am more into it because I've seen what obama has done, and worse, what he would do if re-elected.
BTW, my real name is not USSAlaska, I am Leroy Jethro Gibb's father.
Hi Ziva.
I see you have been splashing all the threads this morning with your GOTV effort.
Be aware that many on FR like me aren’t going to actively agitate for Romney. We may vote for him but his track-record screams RINO and...tho we may vote for him...he aren’t really gonna get out and make phone calls to anyone on his behalf.
I would say that, in short, the majority of FReepers are willing to vote aginst Obamugabe but don’t ask us to put in time or talent to pimp RINOmney.
To surfing FReepers, please chime in and chastise me for “speaking for the majority”.
:: he aren’t really gonna get out and make phone calls ::
Sorry, should be
WE aren’t really gonna get out and make phone calls
We went to the headquarters and got our stickers and yard sign is out. Of course we bring it in at night. We live in a liberal town in Los Angeles. Sign would be gone by morning if we left it out.
Or if I don't hang up, I just set the phone down until I hear the trouble signal and hang it up then.
To surfing FReepers, please chime in and chastise me for “speaking for the majority”.
Being a lazy bastard, any excuse not to work will do just fine.
Ziva and I don't believe we are pimps, but you just sit one your lazy butt and save your valuable "time and talent" for the candidate that you approve of 110%.
If obama wins you can take solace in the fact that Romney didn't meet your lofty standards.
I'd rather be called a whore than a pimp if the name calling is all the same to you.
No, but you should honestly ask yourself the simple question: Do I want Romney to win or not?
It sounds like you haven't actually made up your mind on that one. "I'll vote for him, barely, under duress, whining and complaining, grumbling... But don't expect me to openly SUPPORT the guy!"
Pfffft. Make up your mind for real, dude.
This is how politics works in the real world. Call it the lesser of two evils, or whatever makes the most sense to you. You support the one who represents your best option. Support him for real and help him win.
If you want the candidate who thinks just like you to be in the race, then by all means run!
He is getting my vote and that is WAY WAY more than he deserves.
Lately I’ve just been taking the phone off the hook from 5 to 7 pm when most political calls come in. ALWAYS when I’m cooking dinner, or getting ready to sit down and eat.
Don’t these callers know this just alienates people?
With call screener, who is left in America so lonesome, bored or twisted that they would even pick up for a strange number, or no number at all. I don’t know a soul who does that anymore, unless it’s by accident.
Start your own post-it note campaign. Write on the post-it notes something like “Obama policies are killing America. VOTE HIM OUT! NObama Nov. 2012”
or “OMG ! Obama Must Go !”
Then stick them wherever you go: The grocery store shelf, the window of the bus or train commute. The parking meter. Wherever.
If Obama wins it will be the end of America.
It will also be the end of the Republican party if I can have anything to do with it. I’ve had enough.
