Abortions For Some; Miniature American Flag For Others
by Hal_10000
My hope for the McCain begins to fade:
This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.
“What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags,” a Republican official emailed. “We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag.”
I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.
Really? We’re going there? What were the Democrats supposed to do—ceremonially retire them? Yeah, I can just hear the Right Wing Echosphere exploding when they found out the Democrats burned 12,000 flags.
On the other hand, the $740 million man is hitting Palin on earmarks. So losing the election is still within anyone’s grasp.

They could’ve given them to poor communities.

Exactly. These damned if you do, damned if you don’t criticisms do no service. This is the same thing Moore does. In the end, if your opponent is damned if they do or damned if they don’t, then so are you. They should be careful with stunts like this. They get old with the public real fast.
...and I am sure the Republicans are going are ceremonially retiring their flag stuff too....

AlexinCT: Alex, what I’m saying is this. When people get to the end of life, they have two choices. They can sit in a hospital, in pain and misery, fighting it out to the last full measure at great expense. Or the can be at home, with some pain killers and…

AlexinCT: Puppie sent me this charming little email. So dog is a government bureaucrat. That explains his passion for this destructive government takeover of healthcare. This guy isn't motivated by the doctor patient relationship, he is motivated by the deep pockets of government and wanting grants one.

AlexinCT: Do you know the definition of hypocrite? Democrats, and in particular, the current president, and the usual suspects in the MSM. That is your argument. No dog, you are twisting yourself into a pretzel and making an obvious fool of yourself. I did make it clear that republicans using this…

Remember that the democratic convention was going to be the greenest convention ever? How the food was supposed to follow the ever changing enviro religion’s faith? No flag recycling (they could have at least used them at future campaign events). It’s also pretty funny that the Obama campaign’s waste saved McCain a little money.
