Has anyone else been bombarded with political phone calls? Calls from Pat Boone, calls from Clint Eastwood what a pain in the butt. All my phone numbers are listed on the national do not call list. I quess that does not apply to politicians, nothing more than harrassment if you ask me.

    The do not call lists do not apply to political causes. A politician would never limit his/herself any opportunity to annoy anybody.

    I've been getting calls from him as well, but they have nothing to do with politics. Weird...

    I thought Clint only talked to orangutans, 'punks', and chairs?

    I especially like the short polls with questions that I always give the opposite answer to they would expect. Have to play with these people, annoying as they are. Election season should be no more than 6 months long. The guy is barely in office for a year and a half and they are thinking about re-election campaigns.
