Still Mad — just spent 15 minutes on live voice poll, and did not realize until last minute I was being push polled.
I live in the GA-6 and typically do not get political calls on my cell phone — so when I got a call tonight from a live survey taker, decided to answer. Started as regular poll, question about special election, etc. After about 10 minutes, was asked to rate whether following statements would make me more a less likely to vote for Jon Ossoff. At that time, a stream of about 15 negative statements about Jon Ossoff followed. My paraphrasing a few:
- Evil, Liberal site Dailykos opposing president Trump raised millions for Jon...
- Jon supports Paris agreement which would cost US trillions of dollars and trillions of jobs...
- Jon was an assistant for Hank Johnson when he claimed that Guam would flip over...
and dozens and dozens statements of other right wing bull!
As soon as I hung up, called back the survey number (678-381-1677) and realized this is Venture Data, notorious Republican push poll firm (http://www.venturedata.com).
This made me realize that winning against Trump will not be easy — his henchmen will be up for dirty tricks. As a result, donated another $100 to Jon’s campaign.
