Dems Dump Flags, Republicans Rescue Them
McCain Camp Rescues Flags From Obama Rally Cuz, ya know, the flag is just a
worthless prop to waive around in front of the cameras. After the show is
over, they're junk not even worth recycling ... Democrats are not caring for
their Stars and Stripes.

Flags Forgotten (?) and Found
At the very intersection of patriotism, environmentalism, and conservatism
is the story of the rescue/ recycling of thousands of American flags from
the garbage heaps of the Democrat convention for use by McCain supporters.

Respect, Responsibility & 12,000 Flags
What is it about honesty that makes some people act stupid? In my previous
post I referenced an article in the Denver Post about the recycling of over
12,000 flags that were found in trash bags after the Democratic National
Convention ... If they were to be returned to the manufacturer, why did they
sit near the trash in trash bags for eight days?

84 Trash Bags of American Flags: The Obama Campaign's Newest Chunk of
Ineptitude
I had thought until this past week that John Kerry's 2004 campaign was the
most inept and tone-deaf Presidential run I had ever seen ... Oh the other
hand, 84 bags of bundled American flags in the trash bins of Invesco Field a
week after his big speech is also a powerful symbol.

Republicans make use of the DNCC's 'trash'
The Democrats did a much better job at handling the visual aspects of their
convention. Actually, the Republicans did a pretty crummy job with their
visuals especially the funky green screen behind McCain's speech ... The
Republicans know an opportunity when they are handed one.
