| Dems Dialing for Dollars -- a response |
| 2007-04-25 |
| This is just me writing here. The link takes you to a website supporting a guy named Tom Allen, who is running for U.S. Senate in Maine on the Dem ticket. Mr. Allen called me a few minutes ago, direct dialed to my office desk, to ask for money. He introduced himself as a friend of Sherrod Brown's. That's not a good way to make friends with me. I gave him a very firm, forceful, non-profane response, which I wish I'd recorded for posterity, 'cause it was (in my humble and objective opinion) a righteous rant. To summarize a very long earful, I told him that I was very angry at his buddy Harry Reid for trying to lose the war and squawking al Qaida's propaganda for them, and that I don't think surrendering to a bunch of car-bombing goons just because you think it'll get your party more seats in Congress is a good way to keep bad guys from killing my fellow citizens. Mr. Allen, I will credit him this much, was polite. He said he disagreed and left it at that. I don't think he was prepared for an argument from someone he presumed (when he dialed the phone) was a friendly. May I humbly suggest, fellow Rantburgers, that if your phone rings and it's Tom Allen or someone like him, be firm, use acceptable language, and give 'em both barrels. |
