NOTICE: Automated calls by Focus on the Family blanketing Louisiana!
Just received an automated call asking the following questions.

1. Are you aware Democrats are going to block Bush's nominations?
2. Are you aware Senate Democrats are planning to fillabuster Bush's qualified nominations?
3. Do you believe marraige should only be between a man and a woman in America?


These questions were followed by a pause for you to give your answers.

3. I wish there was some law that prohibited that "push-polling".
:shrug:

They'll call it something else,...but, obviously it's a form of "push-polling" and it's disgusting as hell!!! :grr:

10. Wish I had the time to review their reports.
I'll bet I could find a pattern of receipts/expenditures which breaks the law re campaign finance limits.

*sigh* ,...so much to do,...so little time,...

12. Not sure. It is a distinct possability. I know Ralph Reed was involved
up to his neck in extortion and double dealing. Perhaps FOF was 'activated' to protest a competing casino to ensure the Coushatta tribe dominance.

13. That's why it was so windy here in Colorado today.
They were sucking more than usual.

What's funny, is people used to tell me that ColoSprings was the Satanist capital of the state.

14. My mother lives in Louisiana, and if they call her...
she'll give them a piece of her mind. She was furious about the Pinellas Park hospice stunt they pulled, and she hates dirty politics!

:D

15. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!
actually, I haven't gotten THAT one
but last week, during the race for local DA
(they were both Repugs so I was not going to vote, BUT)
one of the candidates had these recorded messages
and I got a million of them
they would always begin with something like:

ARE YOU TIRED OF ACTIVIST CRIMINAL JUDGES??

geez
that sent me to the polls in a big hurry
I haven't voted for a Repug EVER
but I went to vote AGAINST the guy with those recordings
