It's been a rough day for me. I phone banked for Obama campaign for change and that was good except for one Hispanic dude. He was very upset with the Obama team. He had called three times to volunteer and no one had ever called him back and if that is how Obama treated the Hispanic people he was voting for McCain.
I told him I didn't know what happened and turned my phone over to our leader. After he talked to him for awhile and hung up I was asked to write down his name and number, which I did. Later, another member of the team who spoke fluent Spanish called him back. I was curious about the outcome.
The answer and my fathers email after the fold
I was told that our Latino friend was still angry and wouldn't understand that he could have come in at any time to volunteer. He persisted in repeating that he and his whole family were going to vote McCain. It was the feeling that once behind the curtain he would vote Obama, I hope so.
Now my dad...
I've written before about my family, all men, all red, all faux news all the time.
Apparently tonight there was a show about Obama's past connections, you know the ones. He means Greta Van Susteran
"Did your see greta vanhusin show,,,,"Ties that Bind." Good show about
Obama's ties with some great charactors.
Obama had some radical ideas ten years ago. Has he changed????
One thing for sure. He lies about it. He claims that he didn't know
anything about Ayers or Wright. Common sense tells us that this is a lie.
Wheather it should have any bearing on one's vote is a matter of opinion,
but either way. If he didn't know, then he is quite stupid or nieve. If he did know then he lies.
Its true that his campaign gave a bunch of money to acorn and claimed it was for some sort of lighting....He worked for Acorn and Acorn is for Obama. strange......
I'm not trying to change you mind on voting as I know you are for Obama. I don't think anything would ever change your thinking.
Do you agree with "spread the wealth"? This is exactly the Obama slogan. Do you think people who pay no income tax should recieve a check from thoes who do?? That also is Obama's plan. Lots of wealthy farmers in the midwest make lots of money, but pay no income tax due to deductions. They will get an additional check over and above their substites.
However, in my opinion the main reason for not putting Obama in the white
house is national security. I also do not trust him at all. I think he
will say and do anything to be president.
love from dad that will vote mccain"
He has a real problem with the wealthy farmers in the area getting tax breaks and incentives and now I guess he thinks they are going to be getting 'welfare'.
I took some advice from a fellow Kos and tried to discredit the source, which meant some research into Greta Van Susteran - Whoa! Surprise. Didn't know that she was a Scientologist, or that she was involved in that Ponzi scheme or that she wanted to sue the drug company that manufactured the drug used for the 'Heaven's Gate' suicides.
Did not have time for lengthy research but that stuff came up quick. Any information about the hacks at faux will be very helpful. Discredit the source, discredit the story.
Boy I would sure like someone to do something about the organization. My dad is a good guy, he's 84 and he thinks he's getting the news.
