For all my conservative friends: Anyone who has ever lived in the Boston area is probably familiar with the Boston Phoenix, a far-left newspaper. Its Aug. 26, 2005, issue had an article decrying the fact that some companies give to conservative causes (pp. 18-19). It then listed the companies & their products, warning their readers not to buy these products. I’m using their article for the exact opposite purpose – to get people to buy from these companies. The owners/founders/CEOs of these companies contribute large sums to support conservative causes and candidates. Products made by these companies are:
AdvantEdge
Ensure
Glucerna
PediaSure
Similac
Happy Pet pet foods
Honey Creek Farms pet foods
Nature’s Variety pet foods
Potato Pearls mashed potatoes
Latex-ite driveway products

Cover Girl
Head & Shoulders
Iams pet food
Luvs diapers
Oil of Olay
Pampers
Pringles potato chips
Secret
Tampax
Vicks
Zest
C & H Sugar
Blue Diamond almonds
Sugar In the Raw
Sweet ’N Low
Wente Vineyards wines
Ameriquest
Home Depot
Outback Steakhouse

Wal-Mart
Activision Games (makers of “Call of Duty,” “DOOM,” “Spider-Man,” “Tony Hawk”)
Applebee’s restaurants
Best Buy Stores

Honeysuckle White turkey
Shady Brook Farms turkey
Sunny Fresh foods
Dell Computers

Domino’s Pizza
Johnson & Johnson (makers of Acuvue, Band-Aid, Monistat, Motrin, Mylanta, O.B., Pepsid, Reach toothbrushes, Splenda, Stayfree, Tylenol)

PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!!!
Target also discriminates against the Salvation Army.
So be careful when endorsing a company or its products just because it donates to the Right. It may also be on Stalin's Xmas card list.
IIRC, P&G makes a number of the products you cite and is a big supporter of The Brady Center and other anti-2nd Amendment groups...
Where's S&W, Ruger, Marlin, Savage, Remington, Colt and all the others?

You can get the skinny here on who's evil and who's not so evil. ;)
I just found out that Target also owns Marshall Fields department stores.
OF--Notice that McCormick and Schmick is on this list---maybe it's time to do lunch again?? :)
They sold off the Marshall Feilds brand name to another company. They don't own that anymore. And Mark Dayton no longer owns Target.
Thanks for your list; list; link. Economic Power bump!
There "in there"...
There= their... cough...
Yes, as I stated above, they don't allow the Salvation Army kettles in front of their stores. Can you imagine how much money the SA gets that way, at Christmastime?!
And everyone complains about Walmart and how everything in there is made in China. Well, go into Target and try and find something that isn't made in China.
I prefer Kohl's myself.
I was just on the Marshall Fields website yesterday, and the Target logo is all over it.
A lot of times corporations "swing both ways" so to speak and give to conservative AND liberal causes
I love Procter and Gamble. Many times I day trade and take profits. Good stock.
They are paying the PR bill for Cindy Shehan
Woo Hoo, Pier One made the list :)
Where's WalMart, the conservative's favorite retailer to defend?
Never mind...I saw it the second time through.
