Who is paying for robocalls?

[Captain Hilts]

1. I got one yesterday. I'm in Maryland. nt

[sandyj999]

2. And I got an e-mail from a Republican creep that is always stirring things up in my area.

I have no idea how he got my e-mail.

3. No wonder they need fund raisers.

Poor fellers are so hopeful.

8. port o let rental ain't cheap you know.

[CreekDog]

4. Well I won't be there and I won't miss it either

:rofl:

[NC_Nurse]

5. Yeah, that really smacks of a purely grassroots movement...

Sheesh! How transparent can they get!

[HughBeaumont]

6. Damn right I'm going to be there. . .. I'll get me some jokes . . . .

. . . and pictures of dumbass whiteys raging against their tax cut. Or the mess Reagan and the two Bewshes caused.

. . . really, what ARE they protesting?

[Patsy Stone]

7. Excellent question

In fact, when I read your thread title, that was the first thing I wanted to know.

9. They're really trying to make this into something big

Locally, there's a deejay who has shows on both an AM talk station and an FM oldies station. He's a wingnut, but I don't mind when he's on the oldies station b/c he keeps his mouth shut about his politics. Today, though, he mentioned the tea party on his oldies show and encouraged everyone to be there "whether you want to pay higher taxes or lower." Yeah, sure, man... :eyes:

The new spin trying to make this protest out to be nonpartisan is such a joke. Most Americans are paying *lower* taxes now under Obama, and now they're suddenly up-in-arms about how overly taxed they are- and hitting the streets? If they're not partisan hacks or rich, they're brainwashed fools. (I guess those three categories pretty much cover the Repug base, though...)

10. Faux News lol. They had a crawler to text a number for info.

Promoting it BIG time; claiming it's a revolution (!) bigger than Obama rallies; in hundreds of cities with hundreds of thousands of people. I really think they've outdone themselves this time and the whole thing is going to be a surreal display of American stupidity.

I'm looking forward to it! :D
