Anyhow, just thought I would post this link because it highlights in red businesses which contribute to the Gop mostly. I can now choose more intelligently where to shop! :) We can beat them at their own game by choosing red over blue!
Welcome to FR
Welcome aboard, good post, the more info the better.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Check out my bio and learn about sKerry.
Welcome to Free Republic. Thanks for the list, but the timing is really bad ... no one goes shopping this time of year.
~WELCOME TO FreeRepublic!!!~
Thanks. I've bookmarked it and will definitely buy my new range from Home Depot next year! Also, welcome to Free Republic!
Who'd have thunk Barnes and Noble would be in the Dem column! /sarcasm off
Looks good, though I don't think its a good thing to have Dollar General in our corner :/
I'm glad to see that Home Depot is a red store. I spend so much money there, they'd go broke without my little home-improvement projects. I work just down the street from the local HD and spend my lunch hour in their drooling over the big miter saws.
Welcome aboard FRiend and FReeper. Thanks for the list, I just cut and pasted it into an e-mail to my friends and family. Nice work.

Well, since I am practically living at Home Depot these days, it makes me feel good to know it is a 'red' business.
I won't shop at Target, though, until and unless they allow the Salvation Army back. Other than that, good list.
Nice list, it will come in handy during the Christmas shopping season. Welcome to FR.
Good first post. I can't confirm your percentages from prior knowledge, but I can confirm that you've gotten the leanings of many of these companies right.
My only quarrel is not with you but with conservatives generally, for letting the leftist networks foist these labels of red and blue onto us. Republicans have always been true blue and Democrats have always been marxist red. Why should we let some mogul at ABC/NBC/CBS&Co. reverse the colors on us for propaganda purposes?
The coasts should be red and the heartland blue.
Thanks for the informative post! I have bookmarked that stie. If you go back to the home page, you can find this sort of ranking for many more businesses besides large retail stores - very good reading which will help me make some informed decisions.
And the BEST PART is, this is supposed to be a tool for Dims to steer their crowd to the blue-leaning businesses! I bet it would really curdle their eggnog to know we were using their information to boycott the same businesses!
If one were to expand that list to other sectors of the economy, like tech for instance, Microsoft (Bill Gates in particular) has been known to dole out money even handedly to either side of the political spectrum. Now, businesses like Costco for instance being shaded blue doesn't surprise me in the least. Their business model is built around the Liberal business model (Costco is employed by unionized workers with all the benefits that come with being in a union), whereas Wal-Mart isn't employed by unions, and get lambasted because they do not provide equally good health care benefits as unionized employees of Costco get.
And don't forget to not shop French owned companies and Target is not actually french owned at least not according to an email my cousin sent that I checked out on one of those "urban legends" sites.
French owned companies that come to mind (used to have a list in my purse)
Maybelline
Michellin
Yoplait Yogurt
All roquefort cheese made in France
Wild turkey
Red Roof Inns
Motel 6

Oh, no! In the fast food category, Arby's and Sonic are extremely BLUE! Those are two of my kids' favorite places - I am going to have to figure out a good way to steer them to other destinations.
(Although, my very bright 10-year old son would probably choose to not eat there himself if I told him they donated large amounts of money to Kerry.)
And let's not forget Hobby Lobby. Any store that plays nothing but Christian music overhead has got to be "red".
