We were getting tired of all the pollsters calling up, trying to sway our votes one way or another. We decided to have a little fun with that. Let me say I don\u2019t believe in voting in the primaries, as that will force me to vote party lines, which is something I don\u2019t do. Sorry. I\u2019ve got a mind of my own. I don\u2019t let any party tell me how I need to vote. I vote my conscience. Party lines be damned.<\/p>\n
So when Obama\u2019s people call, I tell them I\u2019m voting for Hillary. They hang up mad. When Hillary\u2019s people call, I tell them I\u2019m voting for Obama. They hang up mad. When McCain\u2019s people call? Nader. Hahaha. Now I can\u2019t wait for them to call me. Just to hear their reaction.<\/p>\n
Carol took it a step further. They had a bunch of poll people hanging out at the school. She asked them if there was some sort of big election coming up or something. They swarmed her like a school of pirana! They were handing her all kinds of cards and flyers, telling her she should vote. She asks them where she needs to go to register to vote. After that, they left her alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
