“Americans allergic to the subtle Democratic flavor of Heinz ketchup can
now plunge their ‘freedom fries’ into a 100-percent guaranteed,
patriotic alternative: ‘W Ketchup’”(AFP/HO)
Bullshit election-year politics. That’s what I chalk this one up to.
As if to say Heinz was unpatriotic? It’s ketchup for crying out loud. For those of you who aren’t aware, the board of directors behind Heinz actually donated more to the RNC
than it did the democrats. I’m not really sure why such an urge was made
to push this "W" ketchup down our throats, so to speak.
"W". What’s that stand for? Washington, as the picture might
suggest, or something a bit more subtle? George W. Bush perhaps?
Nice try. Really. Take your freedom fries and your W with you. I’ll stick
to Heinz, as it doesn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Sorry for being such an ass today. I just hate election-year crap. Here’s
an idea for the pundits and politicians in Washington: Stop being cute.
Start being real. Give us answers, not anecdotes.

Funny. I was just thinking about a potential Heinz backlash as I watched 60 Minutes. (damn, I’m old)
The more I watch this political circus, the more I want to look into Nader……
And remember folks, we are not a democracy. We are a representative republic. Your presidential vote does not count. (just ask the Floridians)

I encourage all my Democrat friends to vote for Nader.
After all (clearing throat), the Democrats don’t have the guts to take on the corporations……..the EVIL corporations………and, oh yes, the EVIL special interests.
Only Ralph Nader can save us from the capitalist pigs.
On Nov. 2, vote your conscience.
Vote Nader!
LOL!

A vote doesnt count in the national election, a vote does count in your state.
Bush won Florida, despite CNN declaring Gore the winner before the Poles closed in the Panhandle; which is mostly republican.

Not to mention the one million military members from Florida whose votes were disqualified by the Democrats on a silly technicality (the stamp on the mailed-in ballots wasn’t proper, or some such nonsense).
Why is this significant?
Military members vote Republican in droves.
Bush won Florida fair and square.

Just so no one gets the wrong idea, I’ve been a conservative since I finally started to make enough money to be concerned with some liberal whiner giving it all away to…..
Now see, you’re going to go and get me started.
All I’m saying is that Nader might not be a “politician” and that would be a good thing no matter what party. Of course, it didn’t work for Ventura.
I had a conversation today in which someone said we might as well get this election over with so Hillary can get on with her campaign for the next round. She might not be the Anti-Christ, but it would certainly signal the beginning of the end-times.

Polls showed Hillary was first in the Demo. Primary, but Last amoung Demos. against Bush. I am not certain she can get elected in this country.

I think you’re right, Joey. I sometimes hear college students talk about Hillary Clinton in meager attempts to kiss up to their social science professors, but I don’t think their are enough people in this country who like her enough to put her on the Presidential ballot.

Teresa Heinz’s former husband, Sen. H. John Heinz III, R-Pa, was a Republican. So was she until she married Kerry. I would *guess* that because of the influence of her husband, Heinz ketchup has many Republicans working there.
The Ketchup is not political. It’s business. Some marketing leech saw an opportunity to make money on a segment of the market. Capitalism at its best
If you don’t like it don’t buy it…it’s the American way….problem is our economy is so LARGE you can find buyers for about ANYTHING you can think of if it’s marketed properly.
