7-11 is pro-Kerry?
I work near a 7-11 and I usually go in there quite often to get lunch. This past week, I noticed that they began using campaign containers for their 20oz coffees with either KERRY or BUSH being plastered on each of them. I also noticed that there are NO Bush containers at all. They haven't been there for the whole duration of its program. I went through all of the cups that they had and they only had Kerry containers.... I live in NY , so maybe the owner is afraid he will lose business by putting Bush cups for sale? I found it quite interesting...

10. In point of fact.....
Most people who go to Starbucks are liberals. Starbucks was founded in a liberal city, and most of its outlets are IN cities, so their clientel is as a result more liberal. You might recall the right wing pundits tried to slam Nancy Pelosi as a "latte liberal."

16. well...
I think it's somewhat petty to go after spelling mistakes, and loser/looser is a really common one.

BUT... what he said was so silly....

13. lol
I just noticed that.... Quite funny... "Loosers go to 7-11"? Hm... Must have been in one of Bush's english classes. Maybe later they can go cruising in their hydrogen cars.

6. but I go there almost everyday....
and they haven't had any BUSH cups at all. The cups say something like "Choose Your Side" and then it should either have KERRY or BUSH... but only Kerry cups are there lol maybe someone bought all of the Bush cups to burn them?

5. Which is it? 20oz containers with Bush on them, like you said, or
NO containers with Bush on them. I don't understand your statement.

7. No cups with Bush on them...
I had asked the cashier where the Bush cups were and she said they didn't have any.

8. They had a voter registration drive as well
Here in Michigan they were giving out voter registeration paperwork. I'm still not sure which side they are on though. The woman that waited on me Sunday was obviously offended by my Kerry/Edwards button. She was extremely rude and nasty. I guess the $5.00 an hour "manufacturing" job isn't so great after all.

9. I think 7-11 is franchised...
so it might depend on the location of the store or the owner. I don't know anything about the principle owner of the 7-11 brand.

I'm still not sure which side they are on, or who owns them.

17. Sinclair will broadcast an anti-Kerry rant to 25% of the country...
two weeks prior to the election. A NY 7-11 offers only Kerry coffee cups. See, BOTH sides are biased. I'm ready for my close-up now.
