Just received a disgusting Robo "Survey" call from Mike Huckabee on Abortion, FOCA and Pres. Obama!
I'm in Northern California.

This was a robocall, but with breaks in order to give yes or no answers.

First question: Are you Pro-life? Please answer yes or no.

Have you heard about Pres. Obama's support for a law that would get rid of every single abortion laws regulating abortion in every single state?

2nd question: Do you favor such a law that gets rid of every single law on Abortion in every state? Please answer yes or no.

This law is called FOCA Freedom of Choice Act, and is a law that Pres. Obama supports.

3rd question: Do you favor aborting a fetus who could be considered viable? Please answer yes or no.

My answer on question number 3....This is a disgusting call.

Response. You have not answered yes or no. This survey will now terminate.

3. I usually have fun with those kinds of things and give the worst answers possible.
I figure I waste there time from getting to someone else and that cannot help their stupid cause!

4. I love to say things like, "you must be kidding!" or "what the eff?" into the phone ...
... it asks you to PLEASE say yes or no, since it couldn't understand your answer. Maybe if I did that for a couple of hours, several people wouldn't get these ignorant robocalls.

6. Ha! Ha! Huckabee needs to fire whoever decided this was a good idea!
He's spending what few pennies he has robo-calling people in one of the most liberal areas of the country?!?!?!

Good luck with that Mike!

7. Interesting
The people who run these lists do it off of voter registration data. I'm assuming your a registered democrat so it appears they are engaging in a Robo-Call strategy on a wedge issue to create a divide in the party.

Kind of stupid in this economic climate. Wedge issues are less important when the economy is in the shitter.

I'm not going to give them advice but if they were interested in getting Democrats mad at the President trying to stir-up Pro-Life democrats or people who have a moderate view on abortion isn't the best strategy.

Other than people who are one issue voters, people really give a shit less about these issues when the economy is falling apart.
