That spells Dem fear to me. They are worried now.

There is the fear factor... But then there is...

A.) Political Ads annoy me and it is what most of that money is spent on. These ads cater to the lowest common denominator. The voter who can be swayed by a 30 second sound bite. Sad, eh?

B.) I thought the Democratic party was the party of the 'common' man. The 'common' folks have enough money in this (according to the Dems), 'terrible economy' to donate 10 MILLION dollars in one day? Or could it be they are taking money from George Soros type 537 organizations? Or even, *shudder* EVIL corporations?

Whatever... LOL Then there was that line from BO, bragging about how much money he has spent so far... Yeah, not so sure that is something a POTUS candidate should brag about, eh? LOL

Oh boy are you right. Yesterday I spent two hours in the car on a round-trip to see my mom. In that two hour period Obama came on the radio with the same ad 4 times and it made me angry more than anything. A nurse practitioner is the speaker in the ad and she says that McCain's view on abortion will cause pain and possible death to women. HOW ABOUT THE FETUS?? The woman does have a choice. Sorry for being so graphic, but she can choose a "coat hanger" or choose to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Should she die from her own attempt at aborting the baby she has brought it upon herself. The baby has no choice at all. If I hear this ad again I will scream! Oh and my "friend" Nancy Pelosi (thank you for the spelling correction Liz) sees nothing wrong with partial birth abortion. How absolutely evil and barbaric!

They drive me crazy - especially the robo calls. We got one on Sunday afternoon, from McCain. Give him credit, when I called back the number listed on our caller ID, we were offered a choice - push button #1 and our number would be placed on their do-no-call list.

One down, hopefully none to go.

After the last election I spent lots of time trying to get our names, addresses and phone number removed from the databases of both political parties. So far it appears that only the Democrats got the message.

We dont' receive any calls from anyone. I wonder if it's because we have Vonage and the numbers aren't listed anywhere like the phone book or 411 unless we actually register it ourselves.

Makes me happy LOL at least that's one less place I have to be bombarded by it lol

I think your Vonage is keeping you from receiving junk calls. I would seriously think about doing that or using my cell phone exclusively. However, we live at the bottom of a hill in the country, and it's difficult to get a cell down here. Our IP isn't the most reliable - and I would hate to be stuck without any phone.

Yeah... definitely doesn't sound like a good idea where you are located.
