Why is the Kerry campaign doing this?

[serryjw]

I was walking into my supermarket, King Soopers,in Denver, CO. There were 2 DNC fundraising kids in front of store. They liked my T-SHirt which said Somewhere in Texas a town is missing its idiot. We start talking about the last time Kerry's campaign was here in Denver they gave out button's with Kerry's name in the shape of a HEINZ bottle?? Why would they do this? It is ammunition for Bushit that Teresa has so much money.....and why would they give FREE advertising to a major corporation?

1. Do you know the Kerry camp endorsed or approved it ?

Or is it just a local group working on their own ?
You might want to contact them directly with your concerns.

2. Contact the county dem party.

This was probably someone's not-so-bright idea to raise $.

3. I would like to see one of those t-shirts. I find this

very hard to believe. Sounds like a GOP trick.

4. So you can make a joke but they can't?

Your shirt called the current president an idiot--what ammunition does that give the conservatives? The left gets labeled as a bunch of unpatriotic, disrespectful yahoos that want to change our values.

Now I totally agree with your shirt and would love to have one of my own but the point is that ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WE DO will be torn apart by the freepers to make us look like morans.

I think it is great the left is taking something back. To acknowledge Kerry's wife, who the Republicans want to put down is AWESOME.

5. Heinz

I went to a enviro house party last week where THK was to address us by telephone and I was given a round button with a ketchup bottle on it: "Elect Theresa Heinz Kerry First Lady!" I gave it to an enviro friend who likes to offend her Republican associates.

6. Probably was the same one .....

I personally think it is a LOUSY idea......We are supposed to be the labor party.....with a future first lady worth 1/2 billion! Lets not publicize it....not very bright as far as I'm concerned.

I got my T-Shirt from this company at my State Covention.(towards the end of the page)

7. OMG THE FIRST LADY'S RICH

Stop the presses!

Wait . . . oh yeah, that's right. EVERYBODY'S RICH IN POLITICS. You can still be the perty of labor while not being a member of the class. I'm against racism, but I'm not black. Does that make me a hypocrite?

8. I've never seen any type of button as you just described.

I highly doubt the Kerry campaign distributed it.

9. Indeed

I don't just DOUBT it...I flat out don't believe it. I'm not questioning the poster, I just don't believe for a second that the Kerry campaign would do something so stupid.
