So, yesterday I got a phone call from my Liberal candidate - I already know how I am intending to vote - but this particular call got me to thinking...does such a thing ACTUALLY make a difference in how the people are going to vote? Like, I'm intending to vote Green, but suddenly, I get a phone call from Ken Cole, and suddenly I become a Liberal?
But, the thing is, it wasn't even a REAL phone call - a standard recording was all that I warranted from Ken Cole, not even a real person on the line. I would have been happy with a representative of the Ken Cole campaign. Instead, all I got was an auto-dialer - which of course, made me think of Homer's AT-5000. At least the other candidate that called me at home used a real person (although I didn't understand a word this representative said - but at least he was a person and not a machine).
In my opinion, that's just bad public relations - showing your constituents that they are not even worthy of actual human contact. The purpose of this blog is NOT to discuss politics, so I will just leave it at that, but seriously...I just hung up. I would never be that rude, hanging up on an actual person - I'd at least listen to what they had to say.
