Leave Me Alone Already

Although we put our name on the "Do Not Call" list, our diplomatic immunity regarding political calls is null and void. Have you enjoyed the barrage of pre-recorded phone calls from your Party's candidates? It's unending, it's unyielding, and it's annoying! Taking the phone off the hook right before dinner has become as routine as brushing our teeth before bed.

Make it stop before I jump ship, switch sides, or worse, not even bother to show up at the Polls next Tuesday (kidding about that last part). And have you ever noticed it's always calls from your Party, not the other side. Doesn't it make more sense to try to plead your case to the other side? It's like Witnesses knocking on the doors that have the crosses in the windows or fish bumper stickers on the parked cars in the driveway. People, trying to convince someone who already agrees with you is not a challenge. I say the Parties should swap phone lists and go from there. It may very-well be more interesting of a conversation. Just a thought.
