Boycott Liberals
I’ve seen some lists around the internet, but few gave reasons. I took several of these lists and included only those companies from which I could find justification. Drop me a note (with a source) regarding update recommendations, please. List last updated: 12/29/12.
Despite being the party with the stupidest (or intentionally-destructive) policies on economics, foreign-policy and individual freedom, today’s extreme-left democrats spent unprecedented money to keep the presidency and the Senate. Reduce your spending with these companies, and poor-policy politicians/ influence will be reduced.

This may sound harsh, but I am finding it hard to give to charities that help people that most likely voted for Obama. Can’t find it in my heart to do it.
I gave primarily to Samaritan’s Purse (Franklin Graham’s charity) and the Salvation Army.
good list
Bump so I can copy the lists.
Google and Facebook should definitely be on your list - Eric Schmiidt of Google is one one of 0bama’s councils and one of the founders of Facebook headed up 0bama’s Internet and social media during both the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

Nice work.
Also Darden Restaurants, their CEO Clarence Otis is a huge 0bama supporter and campaign bundler - he pushed 0bamaCare on all of his appearances on CNBC, then got waivers for 0bamacare and is now cutting his employees hours to under 30 hours so he doesn’t have to cover them.
Darden Restaurants, Inc. owns and operates :
Red Lobster
Olive Garden
LongHorn Steakhouse
The Capital Grille
Bahama Breeze
Seasons 52
Eddie V’s Prime Seafood
Wildfish Seafood Grille
Otis Clarence: A special kind of stupid.
Thanks for the head’s up. Doing a little research and it’s clear that they should be added.
He really is.
You should add:
Comcast (now controls NBC/MSNBC) their CEO Brian Roberts held fundraisers at his house for 0bama.
UBS Bank CEO and former CEO also both held fundraisers for 0bama.
It is not enough to “just boycott”
we have to direct out money to a specific competitor.
when smith and weson was stuck on stupid during the clinton years, people simply spent their money someplaces else.
It is not enough to say dump comcast, you have to go someplace else. etc...
opps was not at you, should have hit the “all” button.
thanks. i’ll look into it
Surpised Sonic is pro- dim, considering it’s mid-america focus.
Thanks
There’s a lot more info in the phone app called 2nd Vote. You can look at it online through the “scorecard” link at 2ndvote.com. The online version includes links to the online proof of what they claim. They don’t have political donations yet, but I think they will get those soon.
