WTF, Noob?
So it seems like the Democrats will be well dressed, but very hungry.
Costco and Rite-Aid, huh?
Interesting.
bookmarked for further reading
These are companies, which supported Republicans, that the DUers plan to boycott... So, I guess the Noob wants us to SUPPORT those companies the DUers plan to Boycott...
However, based on the number of posters over there that are laid off, unemlployed, on the dole, suffering from various issues and on a long list of psychotropic drugs, I doubt a DU Boycott would have much effect ;0)
What do it mean?
Glad to see the money we spend on Coors & the Brown-Forman Corp is being well spent.
I don't care.
I've said many times that the next person to try and waste my time with an Amway pitch is gonna get punched right in the kisser.
When Hallmark hired on Maya Angelou was the last time I bought anything from Hallmark.
As for the rest....phooey on them.
If I factored this in. My contributions are even higher.
When I wrote what I wrote, there was nothing there. Then came post #2.
BTW, aren't the top 3 so called republican donor companies ones we are supposed to boycott for some lame ass reason or another.
And VISA VERSA, That just means that OUR boycott will be more effective than THEIR boycott....
I Costco gave a ton to the dems, but the Sam's Clubs in my area are horrible and the Costcos are heaven in comparison. I'm going there tonight to get a prescription filled and pick up 4 rolls of film.
I guess the Noob.....
I'm sorry, what is a noob?
Waffle House !!??
Hmmm... interestingly, I'm regular customer in many of the "Republican" companies, but almost never buy anything from the "Democrat" companies. I'm wondering if there's some kind of selectivity bias (both on my part and the companies' part) here.
ping
newbie.......ie Noob.....New boob......
Noob = Newbie.
This one tickles me because not more than a few weeks ago there was some frothing at the mouth thread about eeeeeeeviiiiil P&G.
ssshhhh--don't tell Conspiracy Guy.
Thank you. And a big "DUH!!!" from me!! LOL!!!
I don't care I'm not giving up my Jack Daniels
Switch to Maker's a better product, and quite friendly to Republicans.
Where is it made?
This sucks. I am currently processing a payment to the Hyatt for about a quarter of a million for an event I had there. Dang.
How does one boycott Martha Stewart but shop at K-Mart? Most of their merchandise is from Martha.
DU Troll! Shameless Kerry supporter!
Just kidding, CG. I'd never ask anyone to give up JD.
Ping. Thanks for the list.
Well now we know why W and the GOP refuse to enforce the immigration laws in this country...
Look at all the retailers who hire illegals and have contributed HUGE to the GOP.
Next time you go to one of these establishments and try to get some service and the pinhead working there says "no comprendo" you can thank George W. Bush!!!

you sodomite! he he!
I'll have to try it. I kind of like that old Stump Water kick from JD but I'm open to try new things.
American Greetings has out a John Kerry card, featuring a range of emotions listed, and only one photo of Kerry over each emotion......with the same vacant expression for each emotion.
Boycott Target. They gave the boot to the Salvation Army and their kettle.
JD has watered down the product. It doesn't have the same alcohol content for the "regular" brand. They claim that this is what the public wanted.
Yes some on the list seem suspect. Certainly Target does considering the ownership.
In Houston I recommend Taste Of Texas steakhouse. I've never had a bad meal there and the owner is Edd Hendee on KSEV 700AM, an indepedently owned conservative talk radio station.
Conservative corporations are nice but the local guy can always use the support over the national chains.
Yes the DUmpster is boycotting Christmas. They are continuing with their plan to drag the economy down using any means necessary to tarnish Bush, even if it means loss of American jobs. They are such hypocrites. Since so many of them are atheists anyway, Christmas is just a shopping season for them.
