Complaining about the lamestream media, but doing a phony news segment that looks exactly like the lamestream media.

Yep yep.

[Koul]

You have some issues you need to take care of? Seems like you took it a bit personal there.

SPARKS -- GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul on Sunday nearly swept all of Nevada’s delegates to the national convention as his supporters swamped Mitt Romney backers at the state Republican convention.

Paul won 22 Nevada delegates to three for Romney, according to official vote tallies released early Sunday as the overtime convention extended into a second day to finish business.

also

In Maine, they won 15 out of 15 at-large delegates and were on track to win the 6th congressional district delegates...While final results will not be announced until early afternoon, Ron Paul is expected to win all 6 district delegate positions as well, giving Mr. Paul a clean sweep of 21 of 21 delegates from Maine.

loldrama:
Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster said this morning that the Mitt Romney campaign will contest the results and attempt to have them thrown out. The Romney campaign will argue that the vote didn’t take place in an open forum, Webster said.

[Salodin]

Dude, just get over it. RP is not going to win. I know, its toug to swallow, but swallow it now so we don't have to hear you bitch about it later.

[Tyche]

No, I want to hear conspiracy theories after romney wins. Keep going Test, Paul has got this shit.

[archibaldcrane]

If it even takes 5 minutes of Romney's day to swat the Ron Paul fly, it's time well spent for the Paultards. Keep it up.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) used a call center based in the Philippines to hold a media conference attacking President Obama's economic record, the Chicago Sun-Times reported today.The RNC didn't help its image by pointing out that the call was run by Verizon.

Companies like Verizon that have shipped call center operations overseas have contributed to the devastation of the U.S. based call center industry. While the industry still comprises approximately 3 percent of the overall U.S. workforce, the industry lost more than 500,000 jobs between 2006 and 2010, largely because of the off-shoring trend. This continued trend depresses our economic recovery.

Noting that working families today are protesting Verizon's greed at its shareholders' meeting in Alabama, CWA Chief of Staff Ron Collins, who began his career in a Maryland-based Verizon call center, summed up RNC's move this way:

"It’s hard to imagine anything more hypocritical than the RNC making calls about U.S. unemployment from a Verizon foreign call center."

Fucking WWWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW.

Call center employees are 3% of the US workforce?

That's nuts.

If Paul keeps sneaking out delegates, popular vote be damned, the convention could get messy. he can't win but i wonder if they're gonna fall in line when the time comes and he cuts a deal with Romney

That's nuts.

And yet you still find yourself dialing through automated menus or trying to get a horrible voice recognition program to differentiate between "yes" and "no" for 20 mins.

[Apelila]

Are there laws against the Super PAC's donating to other campaigns? Shit would be hilarious if a pro-Obama pac started funneling money to RP.

That's nuts.

There is one by here has been hiring heavily from the lower-income areas for about a year now. They're paying $10 plus full benefits for the basic position, and that can increase depending on what position you get assigned (some of them have normal wages plus commissions, too). The qualifications are pretty low (proficiency with a computer being the main thing) and it seems that applying almost always at least gets you an interview.

I worked a call center in High School. Sold DirecTV. TV spots would hit with our number and consumers called in. Easy to sell to people calling in already interested. No cold calls, It was like $8 an hour + $5 a sale, +$$ for selling extra stuff like Tivo. I made a boatload of money then. Bought and paid for my own car when I was 16.
