We Need Some Opposition Research on Utah Olympics (2002)

[louis c]

I can't believe how upset blue collar workers are about the Olympic uniforms being manufactured in Communist China. I love it. I've been suggesting that it be made illegal to manufacture the American Flag outside of the United States.

If it has 50 white stars on a blue background and thirteen alternating red and white stripes, it should be made here.

Which brings me to my point. Romney would not answer the question on the network news tonight of whether or not he thought it was wrong to import the US Olympic team's uniforms from Communist China (the right wingers cringe when I refer to China as Communist).

I suspect that Mitt did the same thing when he ran the Olympics in 2002.

If I'm correct, that's quite a story and quite a 30 second commercial. It's the type of thing that really hits home with blue collar workers who have lost their jobs or their job security to outsourcing. Or have seen their wages slashed.

If anyone knows the answer to this, please post it here.

1. I believe the 2002 Olympic uniforms were made in the freedom-loving paradise of Myanmar.

Mitt said absolutely NO WAY to Burma, but he signed off on Myanmar.
