Well that can cut both ways.
Blue is too manly a color. Shouldn't it be "Buy Pink" to recognize the homosexual agenda of these DUmmies?
Aren't the the ones that wanted to boycott GE lightbulbs 'cause GE had defense contracts and built nuclear stuff?
I'm noticing GE is still around.....

If you are new to BuyBlue, you might be asking yourself what "Blue Christmas" is all about. Retailers make a significant portion of their yearly sales during the Christmas season. At this time of the year, we have the greatest opportunity to vote for our values with our wallets and have retailers take notice. Last year, many of us did just that, and retailers and news organizations definitely took notice. Since last Christmas, our volunteer researchers have been hard at work collecting articles on even more companies, filling in their political contributions, and substantiating their ratings under our new categories: Labor and Human Rights, Environment, Employment Equality, Corporate and Social Responsibility, and Industry Practices (read our research methodology). In the past year Buyblue has become a shopping list of sorts and we are striving to make all our data even more accessible. This year we have put together a list of the companies most deserving of our patronage, based on all the factors we track on our site. The result is the Blue Christmas 2005, a sort of "Editor's List" of products and services we recommend. You can also find information on nearly 500 companies, representing more than 1100 brands and products. We encourage you to spend money on local, independent and small companies wherever and whenever possible; however, if this is not an option, please use our list as a reference for national and chain companies. We've put together several print-friendly items to take along when you're shopping this holiday season. You'll find a one-page flyer in both color and black and white versions that you can take with you or share with friends and family. You'll also find a wallet-sized list that you can print from home. With this list, we hope that you'll be able to put your money where your values are, and vote with your wallets. Please share this list with your loved ones and discuss it with local organizations in which you may be involved. Most importantly, use the list to shop this Christmas season, and let these retailers know why you have chosen to patronize them. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or none of the above we hope you have a safe and enjoyable time with your friends and family this holiday season.
I see- take the list of recommended shopping spots from Buy Blue and don't shop there.
Should not be a problem, I cannot afford most of those places anyway.
Here is a link to the companies that Buy Blue recommends you shop at-

Ernest Tubb, 1949"It's going to be a blue Christmas..."
Larry Darnell, 1950
Is there any way we can switch the colors around? I've always thought the blue states should actually be red states and vice versa.
Is their a list like this for the good guy companies? The lefties have a good idea here, and I think a boycott of the liberal companies is only 1/2 the job, supporting conservative companies is the other 1/2. If anyone knows of a database for us, then please lemme know.
I absolutely support a boycott of stores that refuse to call Christmas Christmas. I'll shop at the mom-and-pop places and pay higher prices before I finance my enemies with my own money.
Um, do Blue people even celebrate Christmas? They seem to hate Christians and Christianity the other 364 days a year....
BuyBlue.org shut down for awhile but I see they’ll be back this fall. They’re after O’Reilly now and even more partisan than ever. Can’t wait to see their new format and check the companies that give to the Dems.
