just got a suspicious phone call

[sicsempertyrannis]

I've filed to be a delegate at the Va state convention next week and just got this call...

caller: i have a short one question survey for delegates to the state republican convention
me: who are you with?
caller: conquest research
me: who is behind this?
caller: long pause and hangs up

I get the feeling someone was in his ear coaching him... he didnt sound like the brightest.

Did you get the phone number on caller id? We can try to google it for the name of the company.

One short question? Boxers or briefs?

 

[MelissaWV]

They are a legit firm, and have a history of conducting political polls. A polite "no thank you" is apparently no longer in fashion.

 

[sicsempertyrannis]

the number came up "private caller"

 

[kathy88]

Romney's campaign hired a firm like that to try to weed out the RP delegates. Way to put them on the spot. That's how everyone should answer. Who do you support? Reply: Who's paying you to ask?

 

[sicsempertyrannis]

They may be legit...but why did he hang up when I asked a simple question?

They are legit. They were paid to find out who delegates support. By Romney. No one else cares.

 

[sicsempertyrannis]

what is the purpose once they know?

Or Mormon magic underpants.

 

[eleganz]

They are trying to figure out how many Rp is out there and they will act accordingly. You should always know how big your opponents army is

 

[CPUd]

They hung up because you questioned them. Stay on your toes. They don't like people who ask questions.

You think an armed cohort at the registration table in Tampa is out of the question?
I don't.

Hmmmm....this companies address is in London. Ya know, home of the central banking crime sydicates. Perhaps this isn't Romney doing this but his banking buddies.

Zinger.

They've also made calls regarding local political races in the US. They've also done customer satisfaction surveys for common household products.

Yeah. Huge conspiracy.

These companies call at all hours once they have your number, trying to data mine as much as possible. It's nothing new, and since the OP did not actually take the "survey," we have no idea what it's about. We just have a bunch of wild speculation.

One short question? Boxers or briefs?

Or in the case of Romney.....magic underwear.

A pair of red flip flops where you click rear of the flip flop 3 times to go back to Kansas.. taken off the wicked witch.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

A quick google search found they also target Dems: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=185x2236

If they ask about being a delegate, I'd probably ignore it.

yea, but you can't put it past one to act as if they are with the company they are saying they're with... hell, i wouldn't be surprised to start hearing of dissappearing RP delegates...don't ever put anything past the establishment...sounds conspiratorial, but hey, when there is so much money involved, I wouldn't put it past anyone!
