Here's what I do. I go into a local business or shop and gather up the items I normally buy.... and just before I ring up my items, I ask the owner or clerk...

"By the way, did you support Barack Obama in the election?"

If they answer no, I go through with the purchase with my usual politeness.

If they answer Yes, I say.... "Well you must not need the money that bad if you're willing to vote for more taxes, so I should probably shop someplace else."

Yes, it takes some balls. But it feels great.

I plan to keep it up until I feel less depressed.

That could be another four years.

I would have to tell you to pound sand. But that’s just me.

Not that it does’nt sound good on paper, but I’d advise against it. Just because of the risk of personal injury.

The way you word the question infers you are an Obama supporter.

Did it occur to you that the person behind the counter might say “yes” to either Obama or McCain so as not to incur the wrath of any customers? What if the cashier is only an hourly employee? Did you make sure to check with the owners?

It’s idiotic crap like this that leaves me doubt as to why conservatives lost this election.

How long before you’re banned from every retail establishment in your community?
