Title: Campaign Season ALREADY!!??
Post by: Vespertine on June 06, 2011, 02:37:27 PM
I'm now getting robocalls from Mike Huckabee. W! T! F!

It's a year and a half until election time.  W! T! F!

Also, as a side note, Huckabee's robocall starts with something about "You need to know that Obamacare will DESTROY AMERICA".  Now, whether you agree with nationalized healthcare or not, isn't it a little.......alarmist(?) to suggest that this will DESTROY AMERICA.

Fuckers.

Apparently Tourist Season is like that too. I was so confused when the game warden started screaming at me for trying to kill some New Yorkers in Florida. I had a hunting permit and everything.

 You have to buy harvest tags for out-of-state tourists now, and there's an arbitrary bag limit depending on where you hunt. Some places limit you to one per month; some only let you harvest couples with no young, etc.  In Georgia Okefenokee you can take entire families, or just cull the young; depending on what you wanna haul out of there.

This is surprising for two reasons.  1.  Mike Huckabee isn't running for President.  2.  I don't think he'd call YOU for support if he was.  Maybe this is about something else.  Is there a lawsuit in Arizona against the healthcare bill?

Good points, Detta!

I honestly don't know the final message behind the call.  I hung up on it after the DESTROY AMERICA part (within the first 5 - 10 seconds).

And Arizona is involved in so many lawsuits that I've lost track at this point.   :-D

I did make the same observation to my sister about him robocalling in Arizona.  Seems like a waste of money.  I mean, our frothy tea partiers hate - HATE! - Obama to the point that a large number of them would happily put a bullet in his head.  These are not the people that you need to be selling on overthrowing the government...they're already on board for that.
