8. They all use the flag in campaign materials

This is concern over nothing.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

10. Yes, they all use the flag

They don't all change the flag to include a campaign logo.

I don't care for it, but to each his own.

[RandiFan1290]

20. Yeah, I know

I head Glen Drek crying about it this morning. Just more desperation from a failing Romney campaign.

21. ask your GOP friends how much outrage they have expressed at the Tea Party's modification of actual

flags (as opposed to the creation of a piece of graphic art that isn't really a flag). Like this one:


or this one:


Or what they think about Republicans turning the flag into boots:


Or the Republican Party turning the flag into a poster for their convention:




Or the Romney campaign incorporating the flag into campaign t-shirts, buttons, and bumper stickers:



I could go on and on and on.

25. My GOP friends?

I don't like any of the examples in your post, just like I don't like the one being used by the Obama campaign.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

13. Actually I did some research and Abraham Lincoln.....

had a flag poster in 1860 with his picture where the stars should be.

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. LOL, wasn't he a famous republican? n/t

[Luminous Animal]

23. I like it.

And as long as it's not used as a flag flying above the White House or other official place, it's no problem. It's art.
