Rethinking Energy (Costo Mag pushes AL Gore)
Costco Connection ^ | Al Gore

Posted on 10/28/2009 4:39:42 PM PDT by Plutarch

Costco Connection magazine pushes lefty Al Gore on us.

Go to the link to see the cover shot.

And no, they've not featured any conservatives on their magazine cover.

Don't conservative leaning small businesses people make up a large part of Costco customers?

Maybe the Editor, David Fuller needs to hear from Costco Customers about how they don't appreciate their membership fees being used to provide a platform for leftists.

Costco is hellish. Nobody speaks English, and I don’t like buying shampoo and olive oil by the vat. The Costco parking lot at Pentagon Center is hell, and I have actually seen fights break out there over parking spots. I will not go there ever, any more. It just reminds me of the Third-Worldization of Northern Va. I hate that place. This just confirms my opinion of company.

I don’t shop at Costco, so I can’t boycott them but I do shop at Wal-Mart which can and does come up with their own leftist crap from time to time.

Haven’t just about all big retailers leaned leftward on occasion?

Here’s my email...

Thanks for sending me your leftist rag featuring Al Gore. I immediately threw it away.

“While my family will continue to purchase our necessities at Costco, we will not be spending a dime on any holiday gifts there this year. Last year we spent about $600 on Christmas gifts and this year that money will go to Sears, Walmart, and Amazon.com... anybody but Costco.

In the future, I highly recommend that you stay clear of politics and focus on providing better customer service.”

Costco announced to day that they will start taking food stamps, too. There goes the neighborhood. I wonder if .gov will buy the memberships for the food stamp shoppers.

Here we go again.
If I avoided all the retail establishments that get trashed on FR, the only approved place to shop is the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, LOL.

For all I know, Costco is fine in other places, and I can certainly see where people with large families could benefit from buying in bulk. But the one where I live is simply intolerable.

Hubby and I stumbled upon that Costco when we were in DC on 09/12 (it was across the street from the hotel shuttle stop). It was packed with people and crazy! In fact, they let us in wearing backpacks and never checked them going in OR out!

Our biggest shock was that we couldn't buy alcohol there.... only wine and beer. The young lady in line in front of us explained all about ABC stores, etc. What a pain!

We have the honor of having Costco's Corporate headquarters here. Jim Senegal, CEO/Founder is a Gorebot, unabashed. During Gorebacinco's run for prez, Senegal hosted several big media events at the Corporate Center for Gore. Costco are true believers and are Fellow Travelers.
