Why? If you were a business owner and President Bush wanted a photo op, I highly doubt you would have done it. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 09:14 13
- I'm torn. It's a fine line. I certainly agree with what your saying, but as a business owner, your top priority is the bottom line. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Aug 16, 09:32 2
  - Noe everyone's a profit maximiser. Many people don't want to feel like they are selling out. -- nm - Roger More Aug 16, 09:34 1
    - It's true that we have to draw the line somewhere. Say the local Communist Party rep or Aryan Nation candidate? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Aug 16, 10:10
- I sure would have. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 16, 09:20
- because he declined to have the VP there based on incorrect information? -- nm - decline Aug 16, 09:18
- If you want to have a successful business, you don't turn away customers...IMO. -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 09:15 2
  - Not true. Businesses absolutely turn away the customers they don't want. - con_carne Aug 16, 09:33
  - He wasn't. He was turning down being used as a prop in a political campaign he didn't agree with. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 09:26
- or better yet, VP Cheney. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 09:14 4
  - I'd let Cheney in - he might shoot me otherwise -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 09:40
  - I would. Worth it for the publicity alone. -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 09:22 1
    - The irony would certainly appeal to your client base of hipsters. -- nm - Roger More Aug 16, 09:27
  - I would totally have had my photo taken with Cheney. that would've been awesome. - mafic Aug 16, 09:19
I don't understand the part toward the end where the Secret Service thanked them for standing up and saying no. - nubby Aug 16, 09:13 5
- maybe it was a thanks for saying saying no and not potentially causing a scene or disturbance later. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 16, 09:20
- I wonder if it was just one agent who came back in and that agent is anti-Biden -- nm - amoxy Aug 16, 09:18
- maybe they just respected his conviction. -- nm - mafic Aug 16, 09:17 2
  - Then it's a weird way to phrase it. But after watching the video, the reporter is froot loops. -- nm - nubby Aug 16, 09:19 1
    - yeah. didn't watch the video, but it's not exactly well written. -- nm - mafic Aug 16, 09:20
