I heard the new name for these liberals should be Intorleristas.

The liberals and leftwingers are correct in blaming the president for the job losses. However they are blaming the wrong president

Un-ashamed bump, everyone give it a bump, things that go bump in the night might just move on into the light of day.

I just joined last week. After two years, one of their cashiers finally notices that my wife does not match the picture on her cousin's card. [Those orientals all look alike, you know] My wife has four sisters and 'they all look alike'!

Going from Costco to Wal*Mart/SAMS is pretty idiotic, considering how Wal*Mart rapes the American worker by hiring illigal immigrants and favoring cheap everything from China, over local products.
So the guy gave money to another campaign, big deal.
I'm more concerened about places like Wal*Mart that abuse people and hire illegals instead of US residents or Citizens.

So the guy gave money to another campaign, big deal. So you are totally unconcerned about the US socialist movement?

Good, we should begin the boycott now. People in such positions should not be such public partisans. If I were a shareholder I would be displeased to say the least-- remaining publically neutral is good for business.

I became aware of it the week of the 2000 election. Costco came out with a free internet site.
The day of the election some super rich lefty from Silicon Valley ran some terrible hit pieces on GW as headlines on the Costco Website. I fired off emails, faxes and phone calls to their head quarters. They said that they couldn't get the stuff down by election day.
Then I called the rarest of conservatives, a gay conservative who is really into computers. With a hour the Costco site was crashing with an overload of college students wanting to use the free internet. Magically that continued until Costo abandoned their free internet site. It was really amazing how that happened.
Since then I have had fun needling and hammering local store managers when they push the left wing books like $inator Hildebea$t's latest not really a best seller and trying to hide Ann Coulter's book or not carrying it. I bought Ann's book, 3 copies, at a local Walmart made copies of the receipt and made sure all of the local managers got copies and sent copies to their board members of how politics cost them sales and profits.
The best time was a few months ago before we ousted Davis. My trophy wife and I were shopping at a local Costco, and they were trying to get petitions signed by customers asking state politicians to amend the workman's comp situation that was killing them in California.
She said "I will go check out while you bait and upset the management!"
A sweet young thing asked me if I would sign her petition and I said no. That I wanted to see a manager.
I ended up with 3, the local manager, a real switch hitter who fills as a manager at two stores and a regional manager. I told them that people/firms like Costco helped to elect Herr Davis and the California left wing legislature, and now they wanted their customers bail them out. They were quite red in the face, then my trophy bride hollered, "If you are through having fun, it's time to go home." They were relieved, and I had a great time.
Now it is time to find a Sam's that we can use.

Egads... this is the same Costco that has been fighting with the Democrats in California to control the worker's compensation rates in the state. They have been passing out fliers urging customers to contact their "representative" to help them bring down the rates.
To: Ursus arctos horribilis
We have no Costcos in my area (hell, we barely have stores at all), so there's little I can do to help this effort besides spreading the word when I can, and of course, giving a great big bump to this most excellent thread/effort/movement.
