I am soo damn disgusted with getting over a dozen POLITICAL calls EVERY DAY!

Just out of frustration, I'm now swearing at the recordings! Not only am I getting several calls from the Dems running here in Ga, I'm getting calls from the NRA (3 so far today) the pubs who I'd NEVER vote for (they MUST know I'm a registered Democrat!).

I'm going to be SOOO HAPPY when Tuesday is finally here.

Some guy on TV said Texans were getting so many calls, they've now just tuned out. I know the get out the vote is important, but damn, do they HAVE to call the same people every day?

I usually just unplug it at around ten and use my cell phone. My landline rings non stop! I hav done as many polls as I can but it never ends.
