I just thought everyone should see this article...

Card holders since 1986, no more renewals for this hosehold and they will know about it in no uncertain terms.

Well, if it's a personal contribution the guy has a perfect right to hold silly political opinions, but I gotta wonder at people who have coin sufficient to throw 95 large at a political campaign. And I have to thank Heaven and Mr. McCain for Campaign Finance Reform, protecting me from the monied interests.

Steve Burd, the CEO of Safeway, Inc., gave $9,200 to W.

Your thanks is misdirected. Thanks for the evil anti-First Amendment so-called Campaign Finance Reform, should be directed toward the OTHER place.

Just moved to Cincinnati, OH and was actually going to join Costco this weekend. After this though, well, SAMS CLUB HERE I COME!!

Oh. And I was sure to email Costco to let them know too.

[Billthedrill]

LOL - too right. Oh, well, next time I have 95 grand laying around I'll just send it right off myself...

Wallmart/Sams supports the Clintonista's

Wal-Mart widens political reach, giving primarily to GOP

Maybe you should stop posting lies about Wal-Mart.

We have been crossing the picket lines here in California to buy our groceries at the local Ralphs and Vons grocery stores, and occasionally going out of our way to shop at Costco . . . no more!

[Aggie Mama]

Sigh. I love Costco.

[Morgan in Denver]

Us too. My wife and I considered joining Costco because we have friends who belong and they like it. Well, guess I will have a few choice words for my Costco friends now.

Oh yeah, I sent an email telling them to the address posted. Doubt it will do any good but it sure did make me feel good.

[Montfort]

Yes. Costco is out.

Remember K-Mart, which stood by Rosie O'Donnell when it would never have stood by so controversial a Republican.

[RightField]

Check out the spokespersons for Costco's scholarship program.

"Cuts in social programs?"

LOL, are we talking about the same Bush?

[Ragirl]

My membership card is now in many little pieces.....never again will I shop there.

[petitfour]

Ewwwww. Why didn't you warn us!!!!!!!

[mountaineer]

they are a pretty sorry bunch who have accomplished little other than boozing it up and spending the old man's dough.

Perhaps, but at least they didn't spend it on Bill Clinton's agenda.

As stated, wife and I members since 1987. Just got off phone with customer service, canceled and demanded refund. $45.00 bucks was credited to the debit card.

The customer rep was more upset than I was, he had no idea and was taken aback. Bye, the bye, I requested that the phone conversation was monitored and recorded and he assured me it would be done.

So cancel out members, pass the word to friends and family. We can make them hurt on this one.

Democrats = Party of the Rich

We seem to be going to Sears a lot more - basic no frills store, and as far as I know, no anti-American or anti-Bush positions. They support our troops too.

I do my warehousing at Sam's - will never do Costcommie now.
