I kind of wish I could get one so I could rip them like I did McCaskill.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I don't see why robocalls are seen as a good idea. Everyone I've spoken to about them says they hang up when they realize it's a political recording. <BR/><BR/>Well, except for you and I, Jim. We like to mock them. :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511449647063775820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-65932395885566091792008-10-20T17:11:00.000-05:002008-10-20T17:11:00.000-05:00Anon: Interesting perspective.

As for taking a pledge, what good would it do? Remember Obama pledged he would take only public financing for his campaign. So let’s see you want the candidates to take a pledge knowing John McCain keeps his and Obama doesn’t! What a deal that is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-41457590240381678782008-10-20T09:02:00.000-05:002008-10-20T09:02:00.000-05:00More desperation.
