Michelle Walsh, den mother of a second-grade Girl Scout troop, has
learned a lesson in the difference between Republican and Democrat
generosity:
Walsh said she called both campaigns and asked for free trinkets
she could give the 7-year-olds to help them learn. If they did well,
she explained, each Scout would earn her "Ms. President" patch. The
tchotchkes would provide added incentive.
A representative for John McCain responded immediately, sending
Walsh a box filled with stickers and signs.
The Barack Obama camp wasn't quite so generous, Walsh said.
The troop leader said she called Obama's Chicago campaign
headquarters and explained why she needed the curios. Walsh said she
was directed to Obama's Web site — where she could buy all the buttons
and posters she wanted. […] Walsh found the prices a bit exorbitant.
Obamatrons have only raised $400 million, so they have to pinch every
penny.
Republicans tend to be more generous with what belongs to them. In
contrast, Democrats are more generous with what belongs to you.
