Greeting Card Company's E-card bashes Democrats
The greeting card company Blue Mountain has put out a set of Valentine Day e-cards that depict Democrats in a negative light. The cards depict Hillary Clinton as a maid, while showing a picture of Nancy Pelosi in dominatrix gear and Harry Reid with a heal on his head and the words "throwing family values out the window" below. The link is below.

I think the Democrats need to put out some e-cards of their own. Here are a few of my suggestions. Lets have a picture of Mary Bono in between her boyfriend/husband and his former wife with the caption below reading something like "Of course I broke up their marriage; I wanted him so I took him". Then there could be a picture of Newt Gringrich with his wife in a hospital room and Gringrich holding divorce papers with the caption below reading "Cancer should not stand in the way of me marrying someone else". Then the next picture could show Gringrich with his second wife and the caption below reading "Yeah, I loved her, but I got bored so I left her for someone else. Yes, of course we should still impeach Clinton for getting that blow job from Monica. Republican family values baby." Finally, there could be a picture of a number of Republicans who cheated on their husbands and/or wives with the caption saying "Of course I believe in the sanctity of marriage that is why I will fight to keep Democrats from being elected President and I will be getting married again as soon as I finalize my divorce".

1. How utterly stupid is blue mountain ?
To estrange half of their customers?
For any business to have negative statements of political parties is not smart by any measure.
I remember which business locally that had rethuglican signs up.I can tell you I do not shop at them anymore.

These cards do not exist there. It's probably just a repuke hoax. I hate it when people try to hurt companies by falsely claiming affiliations.


EDIT: I found it! It is there! Sorry. I hope the bastards go bankrupt!

The card most certainly does exist. I hate when people condemn others before doing their own homework.

7. As you can see, I found it
It was in their search feature. Do they keep all user cartds in their search feature? I can't imagine they would, but.....maybe!

5. Interesting, since Buy Blue lists Blue Mountain as 100% Democratic.

9. American Greeting Cards is the parent company

and I just e-mailed them both asking for an explanation.
I also suggested that a boycott by more than half of the
country would be an appropriate response.

Why is it that so many republicans are such incredible
ass-holes?

10. I wrote them too
Telling how I'd mass-mail my family, who've all used BMount cards ..Which I haven't done yet, I didn't realize someone else had made the card! It's still really dirty that it's there at all.

But Whatever, I use these squirrel rescue cards for everything anyway: http://www.squirrel-rehab.org/cards/card.html
