I can't believe it.
I just received an e-mail from "Speaker" Boner's office. They even had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to get updates from his office. I answered the email this way. I'm sure it will be tossed, but at least I felt good writing to them. Here is my message:
Are you kidding me??? I certainly didn't sign up for your emails and I don't know where you found my name and e-mail address to send me any messages from "the speaker." At one time I was a republican, but by reagan's second term, I knew I had to change party affiliation and went Independent. Then after the disastrous years of the bush administration, I knew I had to become a Democrat. I worked on the Obama campaign in 2008 and look forward to working to re-elect President Obama again this time. The republican party has certainly morphed into a party of hate, un compromise, and a party that cares only for the wealthy and not the real American people
Oh, I dunno.
franksolich gets e-mails from that crazy man in Ohio, Dennis what's-his-name, at his sfexpat2000 g-mail account.
I dunno why, but I do.
And here we get a nice little bouncy:

3. Good for you.....
I have been a little more direct and less politically correct.
I live in Georgia and earlier this year I got a call from the Gingrich campaign touting how he would trounce Obama and restore America, etc. I stayed on the line for the duration of the 90 second "infomercial" and waited for the proverbial, "what is your credit card number please?" routine.
When the gentleman came online I asked
(1) Where did you get my phone number? I have never contributed to a Republican or conservative cause, in fact the opposite.
Answer - We obtain our calling list from several sources including conservative causes, etc.
(2) Why would I support Gingrich who stands against everything I believe in?
Answer - well...er...umm...Gingrich wants to make America strong again....
(3) And how would he make America strong again?
Answer - well...er....umm...He would restore dignity to the Presidency
(4) And why is there a need to restore dignity to the Presidency?
Answer - well..er..umm Obama has bowed to foreign governments.....
(5) OK, well thank you for wasting my time. Please be aware that the only Republican I consider a "good Republican" is a dead one. The sooner we are rid of the vermin the better...Thank you.
Answer - thank you.
Trust me I do not advocate violence against anyone but this young man was clueless. He had no idea what Gingrich stood for. His north-Atlanta parents probably told him to go volunteer.
The dork makes a cameo appearance:

6. Isn't it ironic that most of the good Republicans are those who have shuffled off this mortal coil?
Ho-hum.
Yawn.
