Dear GOP: Why Did You Steal My DNC Donation?

You have probably heard all about the American Flags that were used at McCain’s recent stop in Colorado Springs. If not, I’ll recap the story for you really quick: Basically, the DNC bought some 125,000 miniature American Flags for the crowds to wave around inside the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field Mile High Stadium. After the Obama speech, they were stored in black garbage bags — the same black garbage bags they were stored in before the Democratic National Convention.

Now, according to *gag* FOX News, an anonymous McCain Supporter who worked at at Invesco Field then took the flags and gave them to the McCain campaign, saying that the DNC was planning on throwing them out. The DNC says that they were going to redistribute the flags at rallies across the area.

Nevermind that the flags being stored in garbage bags a moment: I have to believe that my contributions to the Obama campaign helped to pay for those flags. So, by stealing those flags and giving them to the McCain campaign, you stole my donation.

So, to anyone in the McCain campaign who may read this: I want my $15 back. Or one of those flags. And an apology to the Obama campaign for trying to imply that they were going to throw flags in the trash.

But mostly my $15 back.
