Do You Believe In The Flag?
Personally, I believe the American flag exists. I've never seen one, but I have faith that there are, in fact, American flags -- sheets of fabric bearing 13 stripes and 50 stars.
Anyway, here's that woman from the debate the other night, Nash McCabe (real name):
"How can I vote for a president who won't wear a flag pin?" Mrs. McCabe, a recently unemployed clerk typist, said in a booth at the Valley Dairy luncheonette in this quiet, small city in western Pennsylvania.Mr. Obama has said patriotism is about ideas, not flag pins.
"I watch him on TV," Mrs. McCabe said. "I keep looking for that lapel pin."
More information uncovered by TPM and McClatchy.
For the record, Nash McCabe wasn't wearing a flag pin either. Senator Clinton wasn't and neither were the moderators. And you know, I've never worn one. Why? Because I don't wear anything with lapels, and because it's just too Nazi-ish. They wore pins. And arm bands.
What's the next goddamn controversy? Senator Obama doesn't have a car window flag?

It's so very hard to believe that there are actually people out there who this MATTERS to.
I've never known a single person to walk around with flags posted all over their body as though they were advertising America. Mostly because they were standing on it and paying taxes to it.
Moreover it's just generally hard to swallow that ABC didn't even touch Clinton on the NAFTA issue, Mark Penn or her claims of being a gun lover / merciless hunter.
And if it's at all possible to be guilty by association. Why has no one pulled her card on her past ties with Wal-Mart? I'm sure that all of this anti-china nonsense could easily find a home someplace in this debate.

You are so right Majin! She and McCain are definitely getting a free pass on a lot of things. You know what, it's not going to help them. Obama is so head and shoulders over both of them.
