That does it. I'm voting for Kerry, dammit... |
"Leatherman Tools," huh? That endorsement will go a long way in San Francisco.
"We must lower health care costs to stay in business....said Peter Bragdon, vice president and general counsel of Columbia Sportswear"
I've yet to see a stitch of this poser's line of clothing that wasn't made in some 3rd world cesspool where the workers toil for the privelage of being allowed to live another day.
Whoops...I missed Patagonia...lefty bastards.
I like Colombia and Browning anyhow.....just bought some nice Colombia pile for a good price and a cammo Browning zipup very heavy pile that feels great.
For knives....those ex-military guys in Oceanside CA make a helluvan edge.
I remember when being outdoorsy meant you were a man not a freak.
When good companys go bad. Thanks guys for listing not only your names, but the names of your businesses. It helps me out a lot when I'm shopping.
...Got to go add a few more to the "Don't buy from these morons" list.
I won't do any business with them any more. And that goes for most companies that are liberal supporters, when I find out about them. Someimes there isn't much choice. But there are plenty of leatherman clones out there to buy from.
Eliminating federal protections for our public lands that will allow mining, logging and development in national forests;
So they want Kerry to do this .
We will pay for this important objective by modernizing the sale of mineral rights and using the revenue generated to increase the operating budgets of our national parks.
We dont like mining, logging or development in the national parks. They need to be improved! We will pay for this by selling the rights to log, mine and develop in the national parks.
And these people actually manage to run a business?

I have my Petzl rock climbing helmet, and most of my gear is Black Diamond, (carabiners, rescue eight, etc...) they really do make excellant stuff...
I won't be selling them since I already own them, but I may look elsewhere once that gear logs out. (I keep a log of what I buy and adhere to standards)
Thanks for the heads up on this, and I'll let them know next time I buy gear why I am not buying theirs...
The CEO's should just shut up, and sell gear....
Regards,
Joe
Didn't see Danner Boots on that list. I guess they aren't in the tree hugger loop.
Seriously, I wonder if these folks know who their customers are. Sure there are lots of granola heads who own Leathermans. But there are also a lot of people who carry these as work tools and who will pull the lever for Bush. More than a few of these people will buy another brand next time.
I don't mind when corporate bigwigs support a leftist politician on their own time and with their own money. But when they involve a well known brand like Leatherman it really ticks me off.
email them and let them know they just lost you as a customer. Let the Dims support them:

Damn, I love your tools, but they are just tools and others will come along. I've bought my last Leatherman, and will not buy for, or recommend it to others.
Guess I will have to go with a Gerber with the primer cord cutter.
Anybody know where their politics stand?
It seems like a simple enough rule but, idiot after idiot doesn't get it, and throws away money as a result.
They are to the left of Stalin.
Don't take a stand and miff maybe 10% of your customers. Do something like this and completely piss off half or more of them if they hear about it.
Real good business sense...dumbasses!
