Washington Times reported on Bush Country Ketchup. Sounds pretty funny. I heard about them before but saw this in the WashTimes and thought I would report.

Conservative ketchup Former college roommates Patrick Spero and Chris Cylke, the latter a Republican staffer on Capitol Hill, are the brains behind "Bush Country Ketchup." "While dunking our [french] fries in ketchup a few months ago, we came to a sudden realization," explains one. "With each drop of ketchup we ingested — bottled by a company whose single largest individual shareholder is the wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry — we were indirectly making his wallet fatter." So, the pair took out a $5,000 loan in February and are now peddling the President Bush alternative to Heinz — although a bottle of the obviously higher-quality Bush ketchupfetches $5.99, plus $4.99 shipping and handling.

Buying Hunts accomplishes the same thing at a fraction of the cost.

True, but it doesn;t have a label like that.

Buy it in big institutional sized cans and re-can it in smaller containers at home...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Heinz Co. supports many Republicans including GWB. See post http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1122469/posts

It's a little bit like trying to buy American cars today. The label is not necessarily indicative of the country of origin.

I'd consider buying a bottle if it benefitted the GOP, but it doesn't - all proceeds appear to be going to those young entrepreneurs.

Which is fine, but I'll put my campaign contributions where they'll do some good.

Yeah, but how much to each? Even if Heinz gives 50/50 equally to both parties, you can safel bet that the money Tuh-ray-zuh makes from Heinz goes 100% to extreme liberal causes.

I hope they'll make some money off of this idea.
