Hear Amway Guy's robot army!

First, apologies to the Disembodied Head of Dick DeVos for borrowing the "robot army" headline.

Just in from memiller (thanks!) it's actual audio recordings (mp3 format) of the Republican anti-Granholm and anti-Lipsey robocalls:
Anti-Alexander Lipsey/Pro-Sen. Tom George (SD20) robocall
Anti-Granholm/Pro-Amway Guy robocall
Note that they used the same woman for both calls - which is strange because her delivery is absolutely awful. C'mon guys, with all of those Amway billions, I'd think you could at least pay an actor who can do a convincing job of reading their lines. Lame-o.

Hmm....you know...come to think of it, all of this kind of reminds me of another anonymous phone message that was making the rounds a few years ago...

I'm disappointed... (4.00 / 1)
Matt, I'm so disappointed in you. Here I spend all this money to build a robot army for Michigan and you just steal it. I was considering voting for Granholm, but now I'm going to have to swallow my disappointment and veer right to support Devos. It's so disappointing that I may have to send my robot army over to reduce you to rubble.

No hard feelings, OK?

Disappointment abounds (4.00 / 1)
The Dickster was pretty amusing the other night with his fatherly approach...  It's not that he was criticising the Governor, it's just that he's so darned, well, disappointed.  (Sad look on face)

And now this lady is spending all her time calling people to tell the how disappointed she is.

I know I'm disappointed.  Disappointed that it's taken the Republicans' circular firing squad this long to actually start inflicting casualties...

Notice she never uses the word "Republican" once. (4.00 / 3)
Has it become as toxic to them as they think "liberal" is to us?

Let's practice - all together now: "Republican Dick DeVos has the same old, tired, Republican ideas on how to govern that led us into the Republican deficits of the Engler years. They're the same policies that on the national level have given us the Republican debacle in Iraq and the Republican disaster of the Katrina response. The Party of Pedophilia can't clean up Washington, and they certainly don't belong back in the governor's chair in Michigan."


And this from George's web site (0.00 / 0)
Automated telephone call policy:
On June 26, 2006 the Tom George for State Senate campaign adopted the following policy:
"The campaign is not to produce nor authorize any automated telephone calls on my behalf." -Tom George

What a joke!
