A wise company concentrates on producing quality products that please their customer base and stay the hell out of looney leftist politics and avoid promoting homosexuals.

How long before the state-run media tries to make it sound like the TEA party is engaged in a criminal conspiracy in this, when the left tries it all the time, most recently with respect to Target.

The left’s attempts usually come to nothing. I wonder if the same will be said when the TEA party shows it’s influence?

People who pay taxes should not deal with Leftist companies. Like GE and GM.

The results of the survey led the pollster to conclude that Tea Partiers could “realistically” lead a boycott of such companies.

Any tea party supporters driving General Motors vehicles?

It is a shame the right can’t harness its economic might in things like boycotts the way the left does. Naturally, the right has the disadvantage of actually having to go to work (in a real job) while the left has much more free time, but if the right could shape policy the way the left does that would be incredible. Right now the most effective weapon of the right is the ballot box; it needs to be their discretionary dollars.

Obamaism is a first-step to full-blown crony-capitalism; I don’t know if the proposed strategy is the best way to counter it, but it’s a step in the right direction, and I’m all for it.

And if the Tea Party folks do propose a boycott of GE, I hope they’ll inform us of all the products associated with GE that don’t necessarily fly the “GE” logo.

I was boycotting GE and GM long before the Tea Party became a widespread movement. The media and the Left will never get it. Free minded people are just that, we don’t require a label or a banner to ‘organize’ under in order to stick to our minds and beliefs. I voted with my wallet on these and similar companies for quite some time. Same with AARP, and others.

Probably not new ones. I know I won't buy from GM until it's out of government and union control. I bought a 2010 Mustang though.

We’re shopping and kinda like the Impala, but would not for a minute consider buying a Government Motors Company product; we won’t even rent one.

We have already been boycotting GE—for several years now. But IIRC, Wal-Mart supported RATcare. Boycotting it would be difficult, but I suppose doable.

You know, the next time we Tea Partiers have a big rally in Washington DC, instead of the Capitol Mall how about marching on the famous lobbyists located on K Street in DC?

We could have a conservative economy and a liberal economy.

I would rather target all companies and groups and political candidates that suck at the george soros teat.

He wants to bring down our country. Period.

Not saying Barack doesn't do the same thing, too. But there are companies that fall in line with our way of thinking, ESPECIALLY SEARS, that help our vets in so many ways I ALWAYS head to Sears first. I love what they DO and stand for when it comes to providing for our military. I would not want democrats going after these companies in retaliation.

But Soros is like a knife in heart of our flag...silently, behind the scenes ripping at its core by providing funding towards horrific goals to dismantle its very foundations.

For instance, he is trying to get Sec. of States into office across our land to help change or sway election results-I want the candidates NAMES that have sucked at his teat and I want them questioned about it.

He is also funding LIBERAL CANDIDATES for judgeships at every level of our court systems within the states, including state supreme courts-I want the names of these candidates and I want them questioned as to why they accepted money from a man with soros's goals. ( Here comes Sharia knocking at the door-with BIG TIME HELP from that old nazi sympathizer who would destroy any democratic nation because, I guess, he can.)

What a sorry old piece of junk he is...saw pic of him at a party on some big yacht with three young scantiliy dressed girls all over him...PUKE!) Fine man this coreless freak is.

I want the media to fully expose the groups this man supplies with his blood money. Like the tides foundation. The group john kerry's rich moneybag, er, wife is so devoted to. I want her to explain her thoughts on soros and why she pals around with his dirty goals. Are they hers, as well?

I want to see bumpberstickers labeling this freak as an enemy of all of AMERICA.

I want life for him to become as bleak and devoid of spirit as he is attempting to make our precious nation.

But mostly I want a list....of every group, every person and every company that has been sucking at the teat of this monied old communist rat. We deserve to know who they are and if they AGREE with what soros is doing.

We already know uhbama was funded by this filthy communist. We have all seen the pictures of this dirty man sitting down front at uhbama's debates in the presidential campaign. It was sick to see. And even sicker to realize why soros had been gifted with such a front row seat. Pathetic. But then, everything is pretty pathetic about the uhbama regime. For sure. So actually seeing him hanging out with soros is no surprise, just so very sick.

NAMES NAMES NAMES....we need to start our own movement to bring all of them to light. Dirty people cannot STAND sunshine.

We already do; the conservatives support their economy, and subsidize liberals so they can support theirs.

I’m boycotting GE, GM, all TARP banks (I don’t even take checks drawn on them), and a long list of others. I will never buy a GM product for as long as the company survives, which I hope will not be long.

My goodness, the premise is correct!!! I just learned about J&J and now will avoid their products the best that I can.

Pfizer was also a hard lobbier for passing Obamacare. Here is a list of their products. If you are taking one, consider stopping it and changing prescriptions.

http://www.pfizer.com/products/rx/prescription.jsp

Likewise, a list of Johnson & Johnson consumer products:

Most products are replaceable with generics/store brands.

The ONLY way the agenda dries up is when we conservatives STOP funding it.
