Congresswoman wants to ban military from sponsoring NASCAR teams | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

I personally don't have a problem with the military sponsoring Nascar teams. I don't think anyone sees Ryan Newman's car and enlists in the Army but it gives them a presence at and around the track to help their recruitment.

Utterly retarded. The military has to market and does so where it finds marketing most efficient or impactful.

I'm utterly shocked that its being sponsored by a Democrat. (sarcasm)

she voted for the HC bill so I'm not sure she's the best judge of wasteful spending

she won an election in MN, so I'm not sure she's suited to judge anything.

And ban all fly-by's at sporting events. JP-8, manhours, too expensive. Gov't spending is out of control.

A ban would have to include all advertising, not just NASCAR. Then the resultant shortfall of recruits should be made up from a special Minnesota draft.

 

[YankeeVol]

Wow. Completely incomprehensible

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Gets her name out there. I am sure it will have limited support from the far left.

How many millions of dollars goes to pensions, free healthcare for life and other perks provided by John Q. Public for every current and former senator, congressman and presidents? More than a NASCAR sponsorship.

but those guys are risking it all. Hell, they might get voted out someday and have to become a beltway consultant or something. It's brutal.

I think the Federal Govt. should be moved to Guam. Then they would spend all their time on a oversight committee study of if, how and when the sharp increase in population causes the island to capsize. If that ever should get settled, then they go to one on should there be something done about the annual land crab migration.

While we are at it, might as well scrap the Blue Angels

I am all for banning fly-overs to sporting events played in a building with a closed roof

I wonder if she would be okay if Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the 'Universal Health Care' sponsor on his hood?

If you could pin her down, I bet you would find the only thing that would please her is no NASCAR racing.

How much is this really costing? Seems trivial.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

She speaks nonsense.

 

[doozer]

Who cares?

Michelle Bachmann comes to mind here.

The Army sponsorship was said to be $11.6 million in the article, the National Guard and Air Force also sponsor cars but not dollar amount was given for them.
