The most awesome thing just happened...

I reddited the OR story about someone challenging Murphy.

Somebody commented this:

Quote:
I got a mailer from Tim Murphy about healthcare. It says he held a town hall meeting to discuss how his constituents feel about healthcare. The results of his polling showed that people overwhelmingly opposed the proposed reform. I thought about it for about 15 seconds when it dawned on me: Why was I getting this mailer with the results of the town hall meeting, when I never got an invite to or notice of such a town hall meeting? Could it be that it was kept secret from non-Republicans? Slimy. He invited those he knew would support his conclusion to take a poll, then circulated the results to everyone, posing the results as being objective.


I responded to that comment with this:

Quote:
I got the same mailer... I think I got on his mailing list because I called about the firedoglake thing and gave him my address. I wrote a blog post about it... http://ellipticalpress.blogspot.com/2009/12/tim-murphy-represents-town-of-selfish.html


At the same time, the guy who made the original comment pasted the SAME LINK...

LoL Smile I was used as a source by someone else to bolster their agreement with me Smile

Right after that, he said:

Quote:
Oh, that's you. Neat. I didn't notice the URL and your username were, uh, similar. Well, best of luck on getting him ousted.

Girl here brought in a survey from the Republican Financial Service Committee...30 yes or no questions, all of the "Do you still beat your wife...?" variety, all bashing Obama, then at the end, asking for a donation....20, 50, 100 $...
I swear, if my 8 year old were criminally inclined, she could do better..

Having time on my hands, printed out 20 pictures of Obama's face, pasted them to monopoly money, and mailed them a twenty dollar donation

Free, that's great. I'll do the same thing if I get one. We'll start a grass-roots movement. Wink

E, I forgot the funniest part -- I returned the money in the "postage-paid" envelope they supplied, and it was clearly overweight

I don't know about your blog, but I'm sure it's interesting...I'll try to go there now.

"a little groggy from my French developed flu shot"... Laughing Laughing

Very funny, but that was my favorite part. I still get some GOP stuff sent to my house because of the lady that lived there before. Hopefully I'll come across this survey.

I get stuff from TV preachers as a result of the folks who lived in my house previously. Boy, do they have the wrong guy now. Laughing
