Why are Republican campaign offices making harrasing phone calls to voters?

Just more fraud.\n\nI saw that report on the web tonight also. Very dirty tactics.\n\nThe saddest thing about this election is if you ask people the wildest thing you can think of, say "Have you heard that Bush raped both his daughters while Laura watched and bragged about being behind the 9/11 attacks?" There response is that they are not surprised.\n\nHow low can the nation fall that such wild rumors, and that's all they are, there is no proof, elicit no surprise?\n\n\n\n.

As everyone mentioned above shows most of the people are being irritated and harassed by them. I aggree they all more than they should, but if we don't want any more calls why don't we put our number on DNC (do not call) List. This list is by federal government and once you register your name on this list, you won't get any telemarketing job.\n\nOne more thing about telemarketers is they have an ability to sell big things on phone. I have seen telemarketers selling cars, internet connections, refinancing mortgage... I really appreciate the hard work they follow.\n\nAs you asked about the impact on the world i would say, it really help people to save there time as they don't have to shop around for something they are looking for.\n\nI also aggree with one of my friends comment as said they call poor english, for this i would suggest companies to give them more training on accent and language and then make them call.\nThanks and regards

The sad thing is when I go to vote I'm either voting for the lesser of evils in the the elections or I'm specifically voting to keep someone out of office.  \n\nThis message was paid for by the party for the best candidate out there, and I support this add.  :)

I wouldn't point it to GOP voters as much as the Religious Right who are overwhelmingly GOP. They're trying to win over the people they lost by the simplest tactical means. Problem is, many GOP are smart enough to realize they're being dooped.

The only thing that Republicans inadvertently do, is get caught being their corrupt selves.\n\n\n\nDid you know that Republicans run communes now?\n\nSALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Voting appears to be very popular in Daggett County, Utah.\n\nDaggett County has registered 947 voters for Tuesday's election. According to the most recent Census figures, that's four more than the county's population in 2005.\n\nA spokesman for Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says complaints of vote-stuffing in the county are being investigated. Democrats suspect County Clerk Vickie McKee is letting outsiders swell the Daggett County registration rolls to give Republicans an advantage. The Democrats also say the father of a Republican deputy running for sheriff has 14 adults registered at his household. McKee hasn't responded to messages from The Associated Press.

You make an excellant point. And to the naysayers that claim that this is a Democratic issue, they should do their research. There are several states where the Republicans do not believe in the Diebold machines either, and want a paper trail.\nThe reality is, unfortunatly that if there is tampering, we will never know the truth. That is why it is sooo important that you keep your own record of your vote with a camera. And don't let the concerns make you not want to vote. There may be issues, but you still have to make an effort and vote.

This is their last arena. If they were to stop speaking as a Republican, where could they draw power from? It's going to take some prominent members of the republican party calling them out to make it happen. They hurt not only republicans, but all Americans.

Because of Republicans

I don't know if Bush in behind this or not, but several states have reported voters being told to go to vote at the wrong place, etc.  Voters received phone calls telling them that their polling place had been changed at the last minute.  The only thing I can say about this is it is one of the most dirty, underhanded, sneaky things to do, ever.  The only reason why polling places would be changed at the last minute would be severe weather or a natural disaster in the area.

From NBC's Lisa Daniels\nPennsylvania's Republican Party says it has filed an official complaint with the state government, alleging failures in voting machines. One aide to Republican Sen. Rick Santorum just told me they believe "hundreds" of votes are affected by these machine malfunctions.\n\nThe complaint claims that votes for Santorum were not counted - that they were either met with a "malfunction" signal or incorrectly cast as votes for Democratic challenger Bob Casey. Santorum's aides say they are waiting for an official response from the state.\n\nThe response from Casey's campaign? The Democrats say there is no evidence of voting problems, aside from one or two isolated incidents unrelated to Santorum's claims. One said privately that the complaints were "an early attempt to explain away a Casey victory."\n\nMeanwhile, the Santorum camp contends that the most commonly cited polls, showing Casey with a double-digit lead over Santorum, are inaccurate. "Get ready for his grassroots campaign to kick in ... and we will win," one campaign official said. \n\nCasey's folks say they are very happy with the voter turnout, especially in the Philly suburbs. Stay tuned...

He may be using a calling card for this purpose, i suppose.\n\nI had a similar problem, and then found out a similar reason

You basically answered your own question.\n\nBut to go a bit farther:\n\nIf Republicans were to campaign on what's in their party platform, they would only get votes from people belonging to the Chamber of Commerce. They have to bring up phony issues in order to sucker in votes from the ignorant, superstitious and hateful.
