“Why should anyone be surprised about American uniforms the Olympians are wearing being made in China. Mitt Romney was one of heavy hitters putting the games together ... a global economy is the perfect excuse to continue sending American jobs overseas.”
“The just-revealed outsource uniforms for our U.S. Olympic Team for the 2012 Olympic Games in London were made in China. Blazers for the 530-member team will feature and advertise American designer Ralph Lauren’s Polo line of clothes with the big oversized emblazoned ‘Polo’ trademarks on each. The textile industry in America is struggling, with many workers out of work, and Congress is outraged by the U.S. Olympic Committee’s partnership to outsource the Team USA uniforms.”
“The USA Olympic uniforms, what can you say. I thought they were for the Gay Pride parade but wife thinks they are for Thursten Howell III (Willard Romney) and Lovie’s get-together in the Hamptons.”
“If we want to see what Obamacare will do to the overall economy, we need to look at Massachusetts where Romneycare is in full force. It is true that Massachusetts is suffering from economic downturns but some other states without Romneycare are faring worse. With 98 percent of Massachusetts residents covered by health insurance, their overall cost for Medicaid is down.”
“If you want to understand the Bain Co. and Mitt Romney’s involvement in it, read Barbarians at the Gate, or find the movie made about it. It is a true story of Takeover Raiders. The magazine Vanity Fair this month has a must-read article about Mitt Romney, ‘Where The Money Lies.’ ”
“Folks, remember the California hippies and flower-children of the 1960’s who threw bags of feces and water balloons filled with urine and spat in the faces of our Vietnam soldiers? Well, they never really went away, they just got older and crossed the border into Arizona (the California border, that is).”
“After watching the administration’s token puppet that FOX uses to balance out their left/right debates, a good idea came to me. Ex-Gov. John Sununu of New Hampshire handed Juan Williams his jock strap on Hannity Thursday night. I would love to see Romney pick Sununu as his running mate. Can you imagine Sununu debating the airhead Biden. Those would be the most comical debates ever.

With many Americans still unemployed, many think the U.S. Olympic Committee should have off-shored American jobs make uniforms for American athletes in China. What do you think? Should we burn or wear the uniforms made in China? Join the debate next Tuesday 24 in New York City: http://bit.ly/LYNXPM

Vent #1,2,3: I can understand the angst at getting the uniforms from China but why are you trying to make Mitt Romney a part of this decision. He hasn't worked on the Olympics for over 10 years. Is it because of your political partisanship?
Vent #4: I am wondering how much more our taxes will go up because of Obamacare when the 30+ million, that don't pay now, get healthcare?
Vent #5: Don't see the comparison between the take over of RJR Nabisco and what Bain was doing while Romney was running the company. You see bad where there is good while I see the good. Vanity Fair is a liberal publication with expected results.
Vent #6: Yeah, the liberals of the 60s are being chased out of California because of high taxes and to many rules. The problem with the old hippies from California is that they will bring their liberal/progressive politics with them and will want Arizona to be like California. Close the Arizona/California border now!!!
Vent #7: Almost any republican would be better that Joe, bite me, Biden. Fox has several pundits that are of the liberal persuasion.

American Republican businessmen always scream " communism " and " socialism " but they are quite willing to have commercial intercourse with Communist and / or Socialist countries.
In fact, Republican businessmen LOVE Communist China and it's workers.
They do everything they possibly can to get their business operations moved to Communist China while at the same time screaming " communism " at people who propose any type of social programs here in the U.S.A.
Look up " hypocrite " in the dictionary and it says " Republican ".

Vent #1, Vent #2 and Vent #3: "China-made uniforms for Olympic Team USA"
At the upcoming 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, July 27th, in London; the uniforms and berets for the U.S. Olympic Team may be red, white, and blue . . . but they were made in "Red" China.
