Following up on the post below, I doubt very much that the national cable news networks will report on the NRCC robocall election sabotage scam. But will they? Has anyone see any reports on it? It would actually be important news reporting. If anybody sees any reports on the airwaves, let us know. And call it what it is, sabotage. They want another stolen election.
GOP dinged for illegal calls in NH.
I guess this counts as returning to the scene of the crime.
Read the article. But the key here is to put the focus on what’s really happening here. The calls are intended to trick voters. That’s what they want the election to turn on. That’s the message.
A bit more info on the robocall scam coming out of New York state. People on the ground seem to be putting the pieces together. A wave of harassing calls paid for by the NRCC targetting probable Democratic voters and uncommitteds with the intent of getting them pissed off at multiple repeat call-backs from what they think is the Dem campaign.
If you’ve gotten the calls, let us know. We want specifics.
A quick how-to on how to record and then digitize harassing phone calls so you can email them to us or post them on the web.
TPM Reader GW, a regular, on Cokie …
Yes, Cokie, it has been difficult for the GOP to take bills into conference committee which includes exactly no Democrats, and make whatever changes to the bills, pass them with their majorities, and have them signed.
And let’s not forget how hard it has been for the GOP to govern with the so called liberal media watching their every move – wait, wait, I need to catch my breath after laughing so hard.
Why is this woman on any news program?
Totally. Her silliness transcends insipidness. And, yeah, it ain’t a word. But her silliness is so transcendent that it brought the word into existence.
They’re all part of the same corruption.
USAToday-Gallup is out. A seven point spread for the Democrats on the congressional generic, 51% – 44%.
Like the other two polls out today, that’s a substantial tightening. But still a marked edge for the Dems. That’s exactly where the congressional generic was for the Gallup poll for the Republicans in 1994.
The New York Times follows up on TPMmuckraker.com’s story about the push-poll operation run by ‘Common Sense Ohio’ and its sister organizations.
Better late than never.
More and more reports coming in of irate voters calling various House Democratic campaigns complaining about the repeat-call-back robocalls.
In other words, these are the harassing calls paid for by the NRCC made to appear that they’re from the Democratic campaign. And a lot of angry voters are getting fooled by the scam, it seems.
Take this and the tightening polls together and you get one net result: this election is going to be decided on the ground. It’s in the hands of the folks running the get-out-the-vote operations, manning the phone banks, helping people get to the polls. The Republicans are going to do their best to scam their way through this one. So it’s up to the people on the ground to make sure they don’t get away with it. If you’re in the GOTV operation, it’s all up to you.
