Republicans: packaging is everything when the product sucks...

(Yeah, okay, it's just that "burmese" doesn't scan...)

9. Very good. There is a farm in Wolfboro, NH that still has one of ....
those signs. It is on a back road but a real old farm that has to be fixed up by some rich man as it has an inside pool you can see and his our air port.

2. To Bush's credit
He's now saying outsourcing is good so he's not a hypocrite, just a huge asshole.

8. Besides the fact that they were banned by * himself???
Typical left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Hallmark of this admin... fact is, both hands are doing it wrong.

12. Breaking the law.
Failure to support American workers.
Supporting overseas sweatshops.
Just another crime, just another lie. Yep, no big deal.

You are a fool for supporting these people. Go join the Army if you really want to support Bush. That's the only worth you have to him.

4. Damn!
I was planning on buying some Bush campaign gear, but now that I know this I'm not going to buy any. I think a lot of DUers will be avoiding purchases of Bush campaign regalia over this issue.

7. Care to see some of the hate mail I have received from conservatives?
Trust me, you are getting the kid gloves here.

10. Ominous sign.
Wow. Bartcop was right. Liberals really do prefer fighting each other over fighting Bush.

If Kerry ever accused Bush of being a lying AWOL Deserter, legions would attack him in the media 24/7, denouncing his 'gutter politics' and refusal to stick to the issues.

And they would all be Democrats.

11. This is the part I think is funny
Edited on Sun Mar-21-04 06:30 AM by Florida_Geek
"The Bush merchandise - which totaled $81.85 - arrived this week. The Kerry products, worth $62"

Not only do the Repug things come from Burma, but the Repugs have to pay more to buy them :evilgrin:

Florida_Geek <- waiting for his Kerry tee shirt. .....

13. As a small business owner
of a screen printing and embroider company, it pisses me off when the local pols go out of the county to save a few pennies, no less out of the USA to a country that we are banned from trading with!

With Bu$h's millions in his war chest, there is no need to go offshore to get a t-shirt decorated. There are 1000's of capable business's such as mine right here that can do an excellent job. Besides with the cost of a blank white t-shirt at historic lows, I doubt the campaign is saving any money by going offshore.

If the Bu$h campaign was concerned about the American citizens, they could spread this money around all over the country and help 1000's of local economies. Election years are a big boast to a company like mine. So what if the shirt costs .10 cents more, we can make that up in saved shipping costs and quicker turn around times.

Once again, Bu$h rubs his arrogance in our faces and gives the business to a foreign dictatorship.
