Sign outside of business causing a boom in customers
msnbc ^ | 11.17.2012 | wboy

Posted on 11/17/2012 8:23:53 PM PST by Morgana

Riley Gunnoe says business is booming at his tool store in St. Albans. He says it's because of a sign outside.

Gunnoe told me he didn't know what was going to happen when he put this phrase on it, "If you are for Obama's policies, please keep your dumba$$ out of this store."

Gunnoe says he didn't know what was going to happen when he put the sign up. "I didn't care. But it really has doubled my business since I put it up so I'm glad I did now!"

Some people in the community say it makes them question whether they would do business with Riley.

Thomas Snyder of Charleston said, "Who knows in the future if I was going to buy tools and my friends referred me to them, but now, why would I want to go there?"

It occurred to me months ago that there might be a way we could continue as “two cultures occupying the same space”. We could begin by issuing “Red Money” and “Blue Money”. Only Rats would use or accet Blue Money. Only Patriots would use or accept Red Money. We could segregate into to completely different cultures that had very little to do with each other until one finally dried up and blew away. I figure it would take 12 months or so...

That statement tells me that THOMAS does not buy any tools ever. Words are Cheap...rofl.

That's unfair and shallow of you. Lots of Obama supporters use tools. Breaking and entering, for example, requires tools.

Unfortunately a very large segment of America’s population is brain dead. They are uninformed, ignorant zombies who are like the rats who followed the Pied Piper.

Jonestown was a sterling example of that.

I;ve been wondering how long Leno has left to stay on the air, since he finally decided to crack jokes about obama, something that no one else seems able to do.

“If anyone was stupid enough to believe in Obama’s policies, then I think they’re too dumb to own a tool.

Fixed it for you

Most of them would have been real Øbama supporters except now they just vote from the dead.

If Riley’s store had hoes on sale, I’d bet that this clown Thomas would be the first in line, with a pocket full of condoms.

You'd have to ask Obama's Hoes Czar...

Every repair shop should have this sign:

“IF you voted for Øbama we can’t fix stupid”

Just read his quite again:
“Who knows in the future if I was going to buy tools “

He’s basically saying buying tools is hypothetical lol

We were in a store owned by a local, who I’m pretty sure is a hoarder. There’s a room just for tools. He posted a sign that said “If the shoplifting does not stop in the tool room, we will have to raise prices - again”.

Like that would make a difference to the people who are shoplifting. He can raise the prices all he wants. They’re still getting it for free.

Right now I plan to buy "made in china" items ('cos of unions) from any American Patriot.

An American Patriot wouldn't sell junk tools from China...

"An American Patriot wouldn't sell junk tools from China..."

That holds true for before Nov 6, 2012, not after. It's the Unions who got obama re-elected. They may be too stupid to build tools. Why buy Union made stuff if they are the ones that got us into this mess? Starve the beast.

Do you see my point?
