Attention Red States-The McCain Bush Economy Is Killing NASCAR

If ever the red states needed a reason to vote AGAINST four more years of George Bush Economic policies, it comes in an article published exclusively on the Bloomberg News Services. Red State Citizens, NASCAR Dad's, racing fans throughout Rural America love racing, flock to NASCAR events all across America's Heartland...well, those events are all made possible, the Race for the NASCAR Championship a reality through corporate sponsorship. Sadly, as the horrific consequences of eight years of McCain supported Bush Economic policies grip our nation, as the failures of trickle down economics decimate our Middle Class, it seems that one of the biggest VICTIMS of George Bush, Cindy and John McCain trickle down economics could be NASCAR, America's number two sport behind only football! Say it isn't so Joe Six Pack America, but sadly it is. Bush's failed economic experiments, the Bush Administrations lies and deciet are finally killing NASCAR as corporate sponsorship shrivels up and dies on the vine. So tell me Joe six pack, tell me NASCAR Dad's and NASCAR Babes, do you really want four more years of a George W. Bush/John McCain Republican Economy? Is voting RED worth losing your Sunday NASCAR over?

Nascar Hits Wall as Financial Crisis Dents Sponsorships Demand

By Gene Laverty

Oct. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Sponsors of Nascar, the No. 2 sport on U.S. television after professional football, are slamming on the brakes because of the world's financial crisis.

General Motors Corp., Chrysler Corp., Sears Holdings Corp. and Chevron Corp. will cut or drop sponsorships next season. Dario Franchitti, the 2007 Indianapolis 500 winner was forced out of the stock-car series by a lack of sponsors.

Teams with family names revered in stock-car racing like Petty, Waltrip and Earnhardt may enter 2009 with unfunded cars. The circuit might even have trouble filling 43-car fields.

``There's maybe 26 teams that have sponsorship for next year, and five or six that have partial,'' said Michael Waltrip, an owner and driver who shored up his finances by selling a stake to Fortress Investment Group LLC founder Robert Kauffman a year ago. Waltrip, 45, faces 2009 with only one of three cars fully sponsored. He said he might have to shut down one team.

We are not "your Joe Six Pack", Ms Palin. We are Americans.

This is an article shared with me from one of the people I routinely follow over on Twitter by the twitter name of Dantcer, and I thank her for allowing Washington Scandal the priviledge of sharing it with our readers:

We are not "your Joe Six Pack", Ms Palin. We are Americans.

We don't sit around in our underwear, drinking cheap beer, eating chips from a bag under the sofa cushion, scratching ourselves while practicing how to burp words.


How utterly offensive, and crass to lump and assume Americans without money or status
are just that. How offensive to talk to Americans like they are beneath you. Get off
that Pedestal, Ms Palin so you don't have to look down on us to see us.


If you think that lumping Americans into a perceived halfwit stereotype, with six dogs under a porch, washing machine under a carport, a ripped out bench car seat as a sofa, and an old RV as our master bedroom, is winning you and your running mate any points, you are the one out of touch.


So just who are these, where are these "Joe Sixpacks that you are referring to?


Are you assuming that those in subsidized housing, living on disability or receiving
some sort of living assistance waste their time, lives and what little bit of money they may have, live like this? What about those that work hard every day, struggling to make ends meet, only hoping that college will be available when their children graduate high school. Do you instead, think we want our country to thrive so we can have more BEER money?


I don't talk politics usually, because there's a reason there's a curtain on a voting
booth. It's my choice and it's my PRIVATE choice for voting the way I do. I made an exception for you. Because you came after me first.


There's not enough lipstick to dress up your obnoxious reference to Americans and there's no way you can excuse such a remark by tricking it out in political stutterings and run on sentences.


We are AMERICANS. We can vote. We are articulate, we can spell and we can put words
together to make coherent sentences. Who are you talking to when you say this? Not me. And I'm one of the voting Americans you should be talking to.


We have children fighting a war that you would be next in line as Commander In Chief.
You would have our nuclear codes. Why would we want someone who thinks of Americans as unworthy to be addressed respectfully, in a position to either protect us or do us harm. Especially with such name calling.


Yes, you are calling Americans a name every time you utter that offensive phrase. If
you've done as much reading as you proclaim to have done, perhaps you should consider
reading the exact definitive meaning of this phrase:


"Similar terms for the common family can be Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Public, Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Citizen, or Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Taxpayer

Roughly equivalent, but more pejorative, are the names Joe Six-pack, Joe Blow, and Joe Schmoe, implying a lower-class citizen"

I am not "your" lower class citizen. I'm a registered voting citizen.

You owe us an apology.
