This use to be funny, but now it is down right sad.
Sad nothing, they just gave me a list of companies that I don't weant to do business with. All the blue lovers.
This is the most stupid, asinine idea yet from the party of tolerance and inclusiveness.
Wal-Mart red - I don't think so!
This red / blue color bs is very ironic since "red" traditionally meant communist.
Red USED to be used to indicate the CHALLENGER from the incumbant. Thus Bush should have been BLUE.
HOWEVER i suspect the media saw republicans as the challengers to their status.
Sell Red.
No really, what are they going to buy? Audubon Society memberships? Hillary bobblehead dolls?
This is a joke.
Can you post the link for the list, please?....:)
