| Ain't phones during election season grande? I know I got some calls that are ludicrous, slandering Maria Cantwell and calling her unpatriotic too, and frankly, she's not my favorite representative, I have issues with her as well on some things, but, anyone using computer calls to slam a candidate, where there can be to exchange of ideas, i.e. dialogue, well, Maria has gained points in my book. There is a lot inherently wrong with not saying good things on about your [Republican] candidate on a computer message [maybe there isn't anything good to say?], instead, to toss out accusations about someone's "CHARACTER", not record, hoping to get me all emotional about how scary this world is because she didn't vote to have "the great wall of america" put up all around land borders. Sure, I'd love it if all politicians were like Patty Murray -- I really really really like that woman, but we vote for those that can represent us as close to what we want, and besides this is Maria's year for re-election, so she'll get my vote, especially since I didn't get to speak to a person about their nastygram. And then there is my having voluteered Gordy and myself to phone for district 8, vote for Darcy even though she worked at Microsoft BTW, but, due to Gordy being sick (ain't that a change) we didn't call last night, but might try today...at least we're live people, and can have a conversation, and we don't want to call any candidate unamerican, dang, it's absolutely American to have ideas other than "the one idea, my presciousssssss"...but here's where the great fun comes in: Robert Redford phoned me, and Bill Clinton Phoned me!!! Ain't technology grande? Hmmm, I can't wait to hear who's next on the other end of the [party] line?
