    I believe political calls are exempt from the no-call lists.

    We have that here. Joe the Plumber is facing Marcy Kaptur, a   
    candidate so popular 60% is a narrow victory for her.

    They did that here, but they may have given away some they   
    hadn't planned on.

    Also true. If they don't like spending their money on health

    wars for profit.

    Yep. Diversion and lies and BS just to get your mind off the
