Let 'em boycott. The libs will have to sit at home at night and bang rocks together because that's all there will be left to do.

Exactly! Microsoft's Bill Gates give large bills to the UN and Democratic causes...I'm certain he gives far more to the Dems than the Pubs.

It makes sense for the ultra rich way back and corporations now. Cultivate an ecconomic climate where it does not matter which party wins. Of course corporations can't control democrats.

The left would rather boycott supporters of the GOP than insist their own socialist "leaders" come up with alternate policy initiatives that improve national security, the economy, or folks daily live. They think bitching is good policy.

The left is lazy, and this boycott will have no impact on American business.

Of course they give big to Dems too. Politicians are shakedown artists and to run a large corporation today you have to pay the protection money.

Corps can't give hard money. I wonder if this is just a total of what employees for these companies gave. I would like to see them put up the list for dims.
