People who have been immersed in the military culture view the flag completely differently from people who haven’t. He’s already got the military vote so making a big deal of the flag is not a good vote getter.

It’s not about votes, it’s about respect.

I think you are incorrect. Let us return to the values of not too long ago before the leftist activists, where we loved our Country and respected the Flag of our Nation.

It will be a breath of fresh air. Remember how Reagan reignited our pride to be Americans?

Hate to tell you but after 9/11 when every one has flags on their cars after a few month when they would fall or fly off in to the street, there was many a person that stopped and walk out in traffic to collect them. I know I did and I usually was not they only one going for that same flag at the same time.

Disagree. The multimillions who SUPPORT our troops also consider our Flag and flag etiquette a big deal.

All of them need to know OF these outrages, because this kind of treatment of our national icons perfectly frames every Liberal’s true feelings for our symbols of sovereignty.

Just as do Obama’s refusing a flag pin, refusing to put his hand over his heart during the Pledge, his Presidential Seal ripoff....

I never served but would never think of putting our flag in a Hefty bag. McCain is spotlighting the Dems’ lack of patriotism (and, yes, millions of voters have reason to question it). Hats off to McCain.

I don't think it's about getting votes, it's about respect for the flag. I hope McCain makes a big deal of this.

IOW just throw it on the floor like Joe Biden did at the convention. It is always a 'big deal' friend. Its a symbol of all that the United States stands for. And, don't you forget it!!!!
