In reply to the discussion: Angie's List = Scam [View all]Tommymac
(7,263 posts)32. Just cancelled my subscrition on Phone - rep said Angie's does not support Rush
My request went all the way to the supervisor level - surprising as it is usually like pulling teeth to get past level one. The phone op was at first sleepy and bored - when I told my reason he was speechless for a moment then put me on hold to speak to his supervisor. I think I may have increased his political awareness about the company he works for.
I did point him to the HP link and DU - they still wanted to make it very clear Angie's list was not supportive of right wingers. He was more speechless when I told him of the CEO's rethug past and Angie Hicks $ donations - these facts are all on tape no at the call center lol.

Subscribed to Angies list for over 10 years. It's far less useful than it once was.

It's a deep systemic flaw. To succeed in our system, you have to cheat, mislead, or lie.
