Yeah right ... millions of consumers across America have stopped shopping there; voters have throw out many incumbent milk toast Republicans the last two elections; wake up and smell the coffee ... people aren't going to take this crap any more ...

Well, their revenues have taken a dive at least to the extent that my wife and I might have shopped there.

We also don’t watch channels anymore that have started running openly Gay ads recently, nor ones with Gay agenda programming. They may want to be “in my face” but I still have some say in the matter.

Hey, that was Carley Fiorina's big plan for Hewlett-Packard! Worked out just as one might have expected for them too.
