DU "approved" list of Blue vendors

[An Old Marine]

Raven Brooks is making his Christmas list, but he is less concerned with what to buy than where to shop.

Brooks is one of a small group of frustrated Democrats who met while commiserating online after President Bush defeated Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). Disenchanted and desperate for a voice, they started BuyBlue.org. The two-week-old Web site lists the political contributions of major companies to encourage people to shop at stores and buy products from businesses that supported Democratic candidates.

"If you are a progressive or a liberal, you won't be represented adequately by this administration, or this Congress," Martha Ture, a co-founder of BuyBlue.org, said. As for what Democrats do have, she said, "We have our wallets."

Ann Duvall and her husband, Bill, had the same idea. The semi-retired Silicon Valley couple started ChoosetheBlue.com. The bare-bones Web site lists companies and urges people to vote with their pocketbooks when they buy gifts, shop for groceries or fill up at the gas station.

Since the Dems are pushing their minions to buy from the companies on the approved list perhaps we might consider the opposite

Great idea. Where is the list of "Places NOT to Buy"?

www.BuyBlue.org
www.ChoosetheBlue.com

Also shows Republican supporters

For instance buy your books at Amazon.com not Barnes & Noble. Amazon went red and BN went blue.

The left doesn't believe in God, therefore there is no reason for them to celebrate Christmas. Besides, why aren't they donating their spare money to people who have been affected by what they consider to be "the worst economy since the Great Depression."

But I'm sure the "approved" list reads like a "Who's Who" of leftist wackos and ex-hippy types.

This list is REALLY BAD NEWS for the companies on it, many of which I'm sure aren't keen on being exposed politically. Once again, the Lib's "well-meaning" actions may backfire.

Bump.

No Levi's BLUE jeans either.

I just finished my shopping up with buys at "red" Walmart and with gift ceretificates at known Bush supporter "Doug's Fish Fry" in central NY. I really appreciate the Demodog's giving me the info.

Yes! Toast the season with Korbel Champagne. (But skip the Captain Morgan's in your eggnog.)

BTW, Amazon.com went red only by 56% I think. Still better than B&N.

Is that a picture of a Perfect Rovian Storm?

[dr_pat]

No, this is.

I will be boycotting Leatherman for now, due to their support of Kerry.

Amazon affiliates with Borders. Does this mean I can use my Border's coupon still?

[HungarianGypsy]

Isn't it great that there are more red than blue companies?

...gift ceretificates at known Bush supporter "Doug's Fish Fry" in central NY.

Heh. We always used to stop for ice cream at Doug's in Mattydale - 'course, that was long before the Clintoons came around ;)
