I live near Scotts which is near Columbus, OH. This was on local radio news. I found it interesting. On the radio the company said they did not care if they alienated customers who disagreed. I suspect that most people who upgrade to Scotts products are not dems anyhow:-)
It is also possible that since he supported dem governor in past he decided to do this to undo some probs ?
Certainly , the Chik-fil-A thing is setting a precedent that being open about conservative things might not be so bad for the company.

IIRC, I thought I saw an ad on MLB TV that Scott’s is the “Official” product for MLB Baseball (the stadiums with REAL grass/turf) and probably other sports also.

Cheers for Scotts Miracle Gro.

Probably a lot of liberals garden and use their products. Brave move by them.

When a company supports liberalism, the media never says they are “going out on a limb”.

Miracle-Gro is a great product. I spray it on our border garden regularly and it gives us some of the best looking flowers on the block.
Although the quality of Democrat "fertilizer" is undoubtedly greater ... and in much greater quantity ...

Nothing I know of works as well as Miracle Grow. My wife is constantly pouring that blue juice over her plants. Works great.

They went out on a limb? I can almost guarantee that the economy will almost do an immediate 180 degree turn the minute Romney’s elected; simply, as a result of the relief they expect to get from a capitalist president.

Odds are, Democrats live in urban areas and don’t need fertilizer for their concrete stoop and iron fire escape, or they live in the suburbs and have a couple undocumented persons of non-American origin take care of their landscaping and gardening.

I have some bare lawn spots in need of seed, and I need a new spreader. Scotts it is!

I don’t know a whole lot about Miracle-Gro, but it may not be “organic” enough for a libtard...

Touting environmental concerns while surreptitiously enacting control over US food production, the EPA under a second obozo term would move to make private use of chemical fertilizers illegal.

You're correct; it is not organic. We garden organically, and use
this stuff for our tomatoes, in addition to their whole line of "-tone" products.

Hurray—I need fertilizer. Glad I didn’t go out and buy just any old brand.

Expect the EPA, IRS, and the Dept. of Agriculture to come down hard on them in the near future.
