Will be on phone banks and I need help with my "script"
« on: November 01, 2008, 10:55:54 AM »
I want to make some calls into swing states.  The campaign provides a script, but I hate reading from a script when making calls.  Usually, when I get these calls, my first instinct is to hang up.

I want to make a few notes before calling and was wondering what you thought would be the issues I should touch on.

I thought Obama's support of "infanticide," would be something even pro-choice people would be against...

Thanks.

Bit nervous, I am a first timer on this.

Check out our political ammo section. I would pick some snippets from there and run with it.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Taxes.  Everyone that pays them relates to that.

Point out the recent fluttering on this out of the left and the history they have of promising cuts for the middle class and abandoning them after election day.  Point out that no one has been able to see how Obama can pay for his trillion in new spending with the tax plan presented.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice!  I made a few calls.  One call was with a 96 year old hard of hearing man.  He says he stopped voting when he turned 90!  I told him we really needed his vote because we don't want Obama as president.  He said he would vote, but I didn't believe him.  I think he just wanted to get off the phone and get back to his TV :(  Another call was to a person in PA (all calls were to PA), and he promptly said he was voting for Obama and hung up.  What are we going to do to move some voters???  Are there any folks out there that can make a few calls?  It really wasn't all that bad.
