We are blessed by the stupidity of our political opponents.

A local Walmart just gave a very generous donation to my VFW Post.

The local "Neighborhood Walmart" grocery store is a delight to shop in with the exception of their produce section which is usually wilted.

88 percent of folks who never shop at Wal-Mart voted

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me about how they would *never* shop at Wal-Mart when they actually do I'd be quite wealthy. It is like those liquor stores outside of some Baptist towns that somehow manage to do a booming business...

I honestly cannot imagine anyone who isn't at least a sometimes "wal-mart" shopper, apart from those for whom $$$ is absolutely not an object...

i save probably $200 a year just by purchasing coffee/cappuccino mixes at walmart vs. the grocery store!...;)

Only 34 percent of Americans identified Wal-Mart as a "bad" place to work, and they were, again, primarily liberal Democrats.

How many of these people actually WORKED at Wal-Mart? I'd say very few.

There are upwards of a million W-M employees out there, many who are voters. How many of their votes will go to RAT candidates, one wonders? On top of that, several of the nation's biggest billionnaires are named Walton. One also wonders how much of their political donations will now go to RATs? Then there are millions of W-M customers who love the low prices. Will they shoot down the dog that brings them the plump "savings pheasants?" Unlikely!

Seems to me that W-M could help the election go to the right by simply placing full-page ads in all local papers (they can afford to do this), showing how the RATs are trying to undermine the company and install unions for their employees, thus making it difficult for the company to continue to offer clients those great savings.

I'm not a fan of Wal-Mart, simply because of my area Wal-Mart is dirty, always messy at all hours of the day and night(boxes, crates, trash all over the floors),the parking lot constantly has carts all over, trash litters the parking lot and security is a joke.

Even when packed they may open 1/2 of the cashier stations they have available. It's not unusual to stand for 30 minutes or more to check out. On Monday night, I went into 3 stores looking for bottled water to prepare for Ernesto, all were sold out, however other people told me Wal-Mart had plenty of water left.

I was reluctant to go but didn't have much of a choice. The parking lot was packed, you could barely move through the store, however they did have water. After grabbing 20 gallons (20 items is the limit at the express checkout) I got in line.

Of 25 possible cashier stations, they had 12 open. The lines were literally to the back to the store. I stood, in the express lane, for 45 minutes before being checked out. The cashier? Not a hello, not a thank you, not even a kiss my rear end. Typical of my Wal-Mart.

To make matters even worse, their employees are incredibly rude, if you can find one they will flat our refuse to help you find something and have literally told me it's not their job to "direct" me through the store.

If you can even get the cashier to acknowledge you when you finally get up to the register, it's rare to be told thank you or even have your change counted back to you. In fact, I've gone through the lines many times when the cashier has not said a single word to me during the entire transaction.

Complaints about my store to corporate headquarters have done absolutely nothing. In fact, the store continues to decline even though the District Manager for the area, who I spoke with, acknowledged this particular store has THE highest complaint record of any Wal-Mart store in Florida.

On the cul-da-sac I live on, we have 8 houses, one evening we all got together for a cookout and our Wal-Mart came up, everyone of my neighbors has complained to either the stores management or to corporate headquarters.

Before anyone pulls the "if you don't like them don't shop there" comments, I rarely if ever step into the store and will not until they clean it up. I only go in an absolute emergency.

With that said, can you imagine the whining, complaints and complete breakdown dems would have if Wal-Mart lost enough business revenue that their tax payments were lowered? In fact, the amount of taxes Wal-Mart pays to the feds, state, county and local in every state is more then the GDP of any 3rd world country.

Yet the Dems still have to find something to complain about and could care less that their actions may hurt the economy (they'd love that with Bush in office) or increase prices for lower-income consumers they claim to care so much about.

I had been a Wal-mart shopper. But now that they're in bed with the homosexual agenda, I won't shop there anymore. I can not support an operation that acts contrary to my religious principles . . . not matter how cheap they are.
