Agree 100%. I don't agree with the political positions of a great number of companies and people. I am not going to boycott them just because of it. If so, I would have a very short list of companies I would do business with and an even shorter list of friends.
How would people feel if someone refused to do business when them because they support Bush? I am sure you would hear quite a bit of whining about it.
For those who no longer want their Leathermans and feel a desire to get rid of them, I would be more than happy to put them to good use.
I think they should keep their political attitudes out of their public life unless they want the consequences. If they choose to make an issue of their politics, I can do the sme when it comes to their company. And I don't find acting on my political convictions as far as my buying habits restricts me hardly at all.
If I were famous for my business, I would not advertise for either candidate through my business or otherwise. If I were just a small town business owner, I would keep my political opnion out of the business.
