I spoke with 14 different drivers yesterday that have the magnetic ribbons stuck on their autos, all of them thought they were supporting the troops by paying $3 to $6 for them. great, if the money was going to the troops or their dependents, but most of the money is going back over the water to companies that have outsorced.

Here's what tics me the most about the ribbons
out of the 14 people advertizing the ribbons on their cars, just two of them were registered voters and were going to vote.
why do people think that putting a ribbon on their car and not voting is supporting the troops?

Because they are, in fact, mindless, slogan spouting, non registering-yellow ribbon waving Republican knuckle draggers?

Actually, because you cannot prove this at all, which is the norm for you, it is not a fact.
BTW, I have one on my truck, I am a registered voter, will vote for the candidate of my choice come Novermber.
Stateline, can you support your assertion that this money is going overseas, or are you guessing and hoping thats where you want it to go?

Infidel Kastro,
saw a box of them on display in one store and noticed that they were made in China which could be a part of the southwest that I haven't traveled to.
Actually, we have one on the fridg that our neice gave us to put on the car, I declined. Her son is in Afgan and in 7 months he's going to Irag. She is one of the first people that I critized for buying ribbons and not voting. To support the troops, one has to vote an honest government in place.
Am going to Email Cheney and see if he would spend just 5 dollars for a ribbon out of the 2 million that he's received from Haliburton since he has been in office..

Hmmm...reminds me of the Special Forces berets and American flags stories of sometime back.

Thanks for the info, and yes, it is part of the Southwest you have never been to. Its in Texas, up near Paris, Texas, but not close to Palestine, Texas.

LOL, thanks for the geography lesson.

IK - your geography is off a bit - it's located just outside Crawford, TX on a ranch named "Iminchinashippocket" and governed by Busxjing the Lesser.

Wino, you got ahold of some bad "stuff". I want you to relax and call me, and I'll call you and talk you down from this because you are definately hallucinating.

Your post makes no sense at all. Someone has to manufacture the ribbons. Are you saying it supports the troops more if an American Company manufactures them? If they can be manufactured for 1/4 the price (likely) in China, then there is more money left over to go to the troops and less money going to some evil rich US corporation.

And one does not have to vote to support the troops--if one is undecided, as an example. Donating to help is every bit as useful if not more useful than voting.

While your at it, make sure you thank Cheney for the almost 8,000,000 dollars he donated to charity from the sale of his Halliburton stock

And don't post stuff you can't support--its not fair. I'd like to see a link to Cheney's tax returns (they are public record) that demonstrates he received 2 million from Halliburton. My guess is you heard it from Dan Rather!

Oh and could you e-mail Kerry and ask him why he donates so little of his hundreds of millions of dollars to charity? Maybe he could buy a yellow ribbon.

Come on Mulder, how do you not know that Kerry contributed a whopping 9+ million dollars in 1998 and being the modest guy he is, chose not to report it?

The irony here is that most of the Kerry supporters are so uninformed on the facts and issues that it would be much better if they didn't vote because they don't even know what they are voting for! To me, a vote for Kerry, is a vote in opposition to everyAmerican man and women who have served their country with pride and honor because Kerry accused them all of being the "Army of Ghengis Khan"

You are being 'intellectually dishonest' if you believe that rot!

Sad part is I would venture to guess that a vast majority of people pull that lever on no other other basis than the R or D next to the name. Heck, the booths are practically set up that way. Is it because they expect it or do they encourage it?

just a suggestion, but stop watching FOX news so much.
After the way Bushs Military records were doctored up, do you think that anyone would believe his tax records?
yes, i would rather see the ribbons made in the USA than see the high unemployment rate.
Do you have any proof that the money is going to any troops?

by the way, more troops(3 yesterday-that we know of) are being killed and maimed in Iraq , and the Air Force hero is on a fund raiser without a care in the world other than his campaign.. great guy.
