I thought that once the election was over, those annoying political autodialed calls would stop. Unfortunately, they have not, as Georgia is having a runoff race between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin for the U.S. Senate. In Georgia, a candidate has to get 50 percent of the vote plus 1, and Chambliss didn't get that. As a result, every single commercial break contains at least one commercial for the two candidates. It doesn't matter what channel I have it on--ABC, Lifetime, MTV, Cartoon Network, you name it--the commercials air. Of course, the commercials never say, "Vote for me for this reason." I could actually watch the commercials if they did. Instead, they always say, "Don't vote for the other person for this reason," the reason being some warped or out-of-context version of the truth. I have no respect for those type of commercials so I'm constantly changing the channel.The political autodialed calls have also returned in full force. Usually, they start around 5 or 6 p.m., but I have gotten a few in the middle of the day. For some reason, they're all for Saxby Chambliss. I'm not sure why. I'm not a registered Republican, and I have never voted Republican in my life. Nevertheless I somehow ended up on the Republican mailing and call list. It was the same way before the presidential election. All Republican Party sponsored calls, all the time. I guess that means the Republican Party is exempt from the Do Not Call List. So, too, must be the American Heart Association, but that's a whole other post.
So if anyone knows when the runoff election will be held in Georgia, can you please leave a comment and let me know? I know that I could Google it and find out, but I don't have the energy. I'm too exhausted from answering the phone and trying to flip the channel during the commercial breaks to find a nonpolitical commercial. Thanks.
