As much as I hate to say it, I think it's wrong to boycott Costco on this issue. We have this thing called the First Ammendment, which is at the heart of the fight over campaign finance reform, which tells people (and businesses) they can only dedicate a certain amount of money to political campaigns. As much as I dislike the fact that Costco's chief gives a lot of money to Democrats, to turn around and financially "punish" him is a little too "Jesse Jackson" for my taste. It hurts the economy and it hurts the right of people to freely do what they want with their money.

That said. If I were to find out that Costco was directly contributing money to an organization I found immoral in its very substance (Planned Parenthood, for example), I would stop giving my money to Costco in a heartbeat. The Democratic Party, however,is not an immoral institution. The people IN IT may be immoral, but it is an important functioning part of our government, whether we like it or not. In its essence, it's an extremely moral component of our two-party republic.

I guess it's a tough issue for everyone, but you couldnt walk out your front door since the guy who manufactured your aluminum siding probably voted for a Democrat.

Regards.

The DemocRAT party IS an immoral institution. As immoral as I have ever seen.

EXACTLY! I might not agree with what some people think or say, but I'll fight to the end so they can say it... That's the type of attitude people should have... Freedom is a responsibility! We have to manage and take care of it... don't get me started. :) good point!

No, it doesn't hurt the economy for me to spend my money at Sam's Club instead of Costco. If wealthy executives, singers, actors, etc. choose to use their position/celebrity to forward a liberal agenda, then they've already crossed the "polite company" line and shouldn't whine when their conservative customers/fans choose to shop elsewhere. Freedom of speech works both ways.

Please explain to us how the RAT Party is moral. I have seen very few examples of their morality lately.
