WTF, Noob?
So it seems like the Democrats will be well dressed, but very hungry.
Costco and Rite-Aid, huh?
Interesting.
bookmarked for further reading
These are companies, which supported Republicans, that the DUers plan to boycott... So, I guess the Noob wants us to SUPPORT those companies the DUers plan to Boycott...
However, based on the number of posters over there that are laid off, unemlployed, on the dole, suffering from various issues and on a long list of psychotropic drugs, I doubt a DU Boycott would have much effect ;0)
What do it mean?
Glad to see the money we spend on Coors & the Brown-Forman Corp is being well spent.
I don't care.
I've said many times that the next person to try and waste my time with an Amway pitch is gonna get punched right in the kisser.
When Hallmark hired on Maya Angelou was the last time I bought anything from Hallmark.
As for the rest....phooey on them.
If I factored this in. My contributions are even higher.
When I wrote what I wrote, there was nothing there. Then came post #2.
BTW, aren't the top 3 so called republican donor companies ones we are supposed to boycott for some lame ass reason or another.
And VISA VERSA, That just means that OUR boycott will be more effective than THEIR boycott....
I Costco gave a ton to the dems, but the Sam's Clubs in my area are horrible and the Costcos are heaven in comparison. I'm going there tonight to get a prescription filled and pick up 4 rolls of film.
I guess the Noob.....
I'm sorry, what is a noob?
Waffle House !!??
