Image Enhancement For Politicians

As the primaries come to an end, and we all settle in for the push to the general election in November, I have some advice for John McCain and Barack Obama. During the primaries some of those seeking the nomination tried to prove that they were "just common folk" by downing booze with the locals. Drinking whiskey in Tennessee might be better than Cosmopolitans, but it still plays into the general stereotype of politicians, -- "Were they drunk when they passed that bill?"

Instead of going for the "drunk" vote, how about the working man vote? Get yourself a good pair of work boots. I mean, really, rather than hearing people say "I see he is boozing it up on the campaign trail, -- I'd have to be boozing it up to vote for him" wouldn't you prefer to hear them say something like the following. "Cool work boots. He almost looks as if he has put in day or two of real work in his life."

So head on over to Work Boots USA and select from their assortment of 511 Tactical Footwear, Bates Boots, Belleville Boots, Caterpillar Work Boots, Converse Footwear, Corcoran Footwear, Danner Boots, Hi-Tec Outdoor Footwear, Magnum Footwear, Matterhorn Footwear, Rocky Footwear, Thorogood Boots, and Wolverine Footwear.

Romney hired Olympic Painting and Roofing to paint the salmon-colored house in August and the work was completed in October, according to Olympic. The company was the subject of a 2005 front-page article in the Globe saying that the state attorney general's office was investigating allegations that Olympic failed to pay overtime and other obligations through a system that misclassified workers as subcontractors instead of regular employees.

In addition, union leaders and a worker interviewed in 2005 complained in the article that the nonunion company and others in the construction industry boosted their workforce with low-paid workers, often undocumented immigrants, hired through independent contractors to avoid paying taxes and other expenses.

This fall, Globe reporters observed Olympic workers and signs on Romney's grounds while reporting on the former governor's use of a Chelsea landscaping company, Community Lawn Service with a Heart, that employed illegal immigrants.
