My father took a call this afternoon from a telemarketer working for the Leslie Coolidge for the US House of Representatives this afternoon. He explained that he was not at this time ready to make a financial committment (how is it that Leslie's campaign needs so much money - she has FOREVER been courting wealthy people for their financial support, almost as if winning the election is about $$$ rather than VVVOOOTTTEEESSS!).
If elected, she'd just be another corporate whore, a la Melissa Bean, anyway.
ANYWAY, my father, the good German that he is, sounded like an easy "mark" for the marketer, so, the marketer used some marketing tricks to try and gouge shekels from his pocket, since he was to dumb to just hang up. But, the marketer's persistence was duly rewarded, as dad got to relive mom's death, from almost one year ago (7-24-2011), and got to thinking again about how the household income has declined significantly, and about how he is no longer able to tithe at the same level when the household had 50% more income, and dad just got PISSED THE FUCK OFF!
"Okay. Here's what you just got. I'm NEVER GOING TO VOTE FOR YOUR CANDIDATE."
My God in heaven. A telemarketer pisses off a life-long member of the democratic party to try and gouge him up for a few bucks.
Well deserved. When you lie down with fleas in shit, you end up with fleas and smelling like shit.
I simply MUST pass this along to the Coolidge campagin!
