I HATE that the MSM switched the color of the states to GOP being red. This is the way it was and always should be.

“More ominous is Wal-Mart’s “Supplier Diversity Program” which will judge suppliers on the diversity of their workplaces. It could impose de facto job quotas on the private sector without government intervention.”

I wonder how diverse are the Red Chinese workplaces where so many of Wallmart’s products are manufactured?

It’s simple really. The right wing conservatives believe in capitalism and therefore pose no threat to the continued existence of Wal-Mart even if they despise the retailer. The left-wing liberal socialists and quasi-communists despise Wal-Mart and will use their big-government powers to terminate it. Wal-Mart consequently desires to endear itself to liberals and to associate itself with their causes to the extent that the regulatory or legal elimination of Wal-Mart hurts those who would promulgate such regulations. Wal-Mart simply plays the political game and wants to associate with the winning liberals.

Yet it [Wal-Mart] generates anger – outright hatred, at times— among left-wing Americans.

Just goes to show once again that pandering to nutballs (either of the leftist or Islamist variety) never works, and more often than not has effects exactly opposite of those intended.

Although former Sierra Club president Adam Werbach once called Wal-Mart a “virus, infecting and destroying American culture,” it hired him in 2006 as an environmental consultant......

When you take all the bad press against Walmart, it adds up to a political shakedown. Once Walmart begins donating to the left, the retoric stops, just like it did with Microsoft.

Goodbye Walmart!

I've spent my last peso in your store.

It’s simple. The founder died. The hired help doesn’t know and never knew the “secret” that made the company grow, so they are killing it with whatever management fad is “in” this month.

WalMart sells to Customer’s on both sides of the political spectrum.. Unfortunately, one side needs symbolic moves as marketing gimmicks.. Can’t blame WalMart.. they are just trying to play the game to survive.

Presently, the foundation of Walmarts profits are not built on American hard work or ingenuity but slave labor in global sweatshops.

Around Portland, the activists say they are against all the big box retailers, but, everytime they hold a media event the AntiWalMart signs outnumber the AntiBig Box signs 3 to 1...even our socialist City Council talks openly about their dislike of Wal Mar and their failure to pay a SUSTAINABLE wage...and yet, Wal Mart thinks they can deal with these people on a rational basis.

As some have said.......this outfit sells junk. They want socialized medicine? Why are their prescription drugs higher in cost than other stores? Try owning a small business and attempt to deal with Walmart. They will bury you in a matter of 3-4 years. If you want to sell to them, they want all of your financial records so they can see if they can cut your prices as low as possible. We told them to take a hike.

Because greed really isn’t a conservative ideal.

I hate the whole "Blue State - Red State" thing. It vastly over simplifies a very complex nation. The national county map is a more accurate way to look at this nation politically. Moreover these things change over time.

The left has realized that corporate America makes a formidable political ally and agent of social change, so it’s an extension of the Long March through the institutions. Big business needs to influence regulations to hamstring smaller competition and to subsidize its own operating costs. It’s a symbiosis of parasites.
