I think I'm working for the Republicans

I think I'm working for the Republicans
So, a couple of weeks ago, I started working. I've been out of the job market for a while, so my primary focus has been getting some job history on my side. However, there have also been a few problems

1) I get paid minimum wage. Do you know how low that is?
2) I work, at most, 7 hrs a day with just one 20 minute break in there. That can be more than a little tiring.
3) I work in a call center where I call people to do political surveys all day. This usually means they hang up on me immediately, but some of them yell/curse at me first.
4) I haven't even been getting the full 7 hrs a day lately. This week, the longest I've worked has been almost 6 hrs.
5) I have no car and I have to leave for work a little over two hours before my shift starts to catch the bus and get there on time.
6) I get off usually around 10 or 11 and can't catch the bus home that late, so I have to rely on my boyfriend to get me a ride home. His car is kinda beat up and it's costing us a fortune in gas to get me there and back.

Now I've come to realize another problem

7) The great majority of the work I do seems to be for the Republican party. A lot of these surveys tell me to ask leading or loaded questions. For example, they might ask something like "If you heard that __Insert_Democratic_candidate___ sacrificed babies to Satan every night, would you be more likely or less likely to vote for him?"

I feel dirty. I also need a new/better job (hopefully one that allows me to complete school).
I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto
