Saturday, October 18

evidence

that there is at least one ethical Republican:

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 18) - Two senators in opposing political parties asked Republican presidential candidate John McCain to stop the automated phone calls that link Democratic candidate Barack Obama to a 1960s radical.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, and Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, made separate appeals to McCain on Friday. Collins faces a tough race for re-election and serves as a co-chairwoman of his Maine campaign.
"These kind of tactics have no place in Maine politics," Collins spokesman Kevin Kelley said. "Sen. Collins urges the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately."

Saturday morning at 8 AM it started. The steady barrage of automated phone calls from candidates of both parties. ALL of them were negative,, do you know what XYZ did or didn't do? Do we really need that person in ABC position to represent us???

did the negative Obama telephone calls saying anything about McCain palling around with convicted felon G Gordon Liddy?

Emma- I am going to be dead honest here. They generally state who the message is from,, it may not be that person, could be a group supporting that candidate or the party. Then they start with the BS, and about that time, I hang up. I have never listened completely to one. Now, it seems like I have gotten real popular with pollsters too and if they are nice, I answer them, and if they aren't I say, you caught me at a bad time.
