Looking at the grocery store list, it looks like the dims are not going to be eating.And they can't even grow their own food.
Hah!
How can they buy food if they are dead or in prison?
LOL! Meanwhile, I'll be eating at Kentucky Fried this afternoon, just before going to Safeway to pick up some Stagg's chili, Sargento cheese and Dreyer's ice cream. Yum!
The same way they vote from the graveyard.
Dell Computer
21% Dem ( $74,026)
79% Republican ($278,481)
This middle-class Bush voter gives a valediction to Arby's and a big hello to KFC, McDonald's, Wendy's, A&W, and Taco Bell.
The Fox group sent blue and the NBC group went red in similar proportions. Go figure!
I sent along a nice note thanking them for their time and effort! lol
Shocked. I know a retired Shell (District or regional) manager. He is as hardline pro-GOP as it gets - unless its a gun grabber.
A great list - to see who gets my $$$ and who will not.
NASCAR
6% Dem -- $3,498
94% Republican -- $54,802
Please take a deep breath and consider ignoring this. It's meaningless. Read the fine print. The list includes individual donations. It has little to do with the companies policies. My company, for instance, is listed as Blue but has a long standing policy to make no donations. Employees are of course free to donate as they wish. Because you don't know if the money flow that qualifies one as "Blue" is from lots of small employee contribution, or maybe a few execs with big donations, or even if the company itself has donated I think it's not useful. Big companies have millions of employees. Ford Motors might be a strong free market, conservative leaning company in terms of their public policy, but they do have millions of union employees.
It's just noise.
Ford Motors might be a strong free market, conservative leaning company in terms of their public policy, but they do have millions of union employees.What's your theory on why Ford went 71% red? (Not trying to be a smart alek... Just curious.)
I don't find it as just noise. Yes, they put together the donation of employees and company. But, if the combination is more than 90% (many of the figures show this), I think it tells you something. We simply need to be careful in using it, that's all.
Oh that was great fun! All that RED!! What are the whining ninnies going to do? Most of the very important servicies fall into the red, it's going to be tough on 'em. What a bunch of idiots.
I tend to agree with you...
Though there are some cases where I just can't buy from some companies due to their strong stand on issues. For example, I still can't bring myself to buy Levi's products because of the company's contributions to gun-grabbers. There's some others I can name, but I'm sure you get my point.
Argh!!! Friggin' Costco is blue. I do a lot of shopping there...but Lowe's is coming soon to my neighborhood. Not a direct competitor, but it provides another option.
Few people are as sensitive as I. I'd not want to offend Babs Streisand, for example, by offering her $8 for a movie ticket when she knows that I hold her in the same regard as slug slime. I'd like to know in advance whether she tried to use her celebrity to influence the election and be able to decide on my expenditure on that basis. If my position differs from hers, I'd not want to offend her. The lefies would call my concept a "black list" but that is just racism on their part.
F-150, F-250, F-350
Again Costco has tens of thousands of employees, each of whom is required by law to put their name and employers name on the political contribution form. So 3000 Costco employees give to Kerry. Does that make Costco Democratic. I don't think so.
