Perhaps we should start buying red? Or would that support too many slimy Republicans? Maybe we should just buy Constitution...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully the Smurfs will REALLY punish "Big Oil" and stop buying gasoline. That would be "hugh and series" for "Big Oil." They could REALLY hurt 'em. You DUmmies listening?

This one needs a BARF alert! If you want to have some fun, call up Progressive insurance and ask them for information about their (and their presidents) political contributions.

My plan is to not work to help Snowe. She's secure. I am focusing on our governor race. I will be supporting whoever the republican is. Baldacci's destroying the state. Also, there's a female republican running against Tom Allen. I will be supporting her.

Other than that... I can use the time I would have used for Snowe to help Santorum and Talent and other vulnerable republican candidates.

If your state is secure this 2006 I recommend others do the same. ADOPT A CANDIDATE

ELECTION 2006 LINKS

Another thing I plan on doing is posting articles I see here at FR in other newsgroups where everybody is NOT a republican. Sometimes we forget that we are preaching to the choir and we need to go out among the "sinners" and spread the good news of conservatism. So I often combat the liberal moonbats in USENET / GOOGLE POLITICAL NEWSGROUPS

I also recommend joining (for free) this wonderful site called www.gopteamleader.com

I'm not enthused about dividing the American economy in half and half the country boycotting half the companies.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I use BuyBlue all the time to make sure I'm not buying from blue companies.

Leave it up to the Dimowits to create a valueable website...that's a valueable tool to the enemy, LOL! You gotta love 'em. They can NEVER see more than one chess-move ahead of themselves. Dorks.

I went online for a quote from Progressive when I changed auto insurance carriers last month. They cost too much, so I didn't choose them, anyhow. If your implication is that they support liberals and Democrats, perhaps they should rename themselves "Regressive."

[HarryCaul]

Let's see what Hollywood thinks about dividing companies into 'Red' and 'Blue', to be supported only by people of that persuasion.

***For myself, I was satisfied that the Ohio vote was rigged***

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
We get it...
Ohio was rigged and you lost by over 110K votes, but the PA win by 21K wasn't, despite the massive Dem fraud, disenfranchisement of thousands of military voters,etc.etc...

What planet do these idiots live on??

Buy Blue is VERY old, started days after the end of the 2004 election, and as with most things lib, failed.....

"This one needs a BARF alert! If you want to have some fun, call up Progressive insurance and ask them for information about their (and their presidents) political contributions."

Isn't PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE owned by that far-left Lewis guy who along with Soros provided millions to the Dems and moveon.org type radical groups? I'd never buy insurance from that crowd.

I appreciate and sincerely respect your position but.... it's too "pollyanna-ish" for these times. Blue State America (read those who have a lib/lefty mindset and NOT necessarily those who reside in Blue States)is consumed by Bush hatred much like Captain Ahab was with the great white whale. Unfortunately, we are at the "fight fire with fire" stage. To do otherwise is to surrender our ideals just for the sake of getting along with these jerks.

Besides, we have more economic power on our side. A boycott blue movement would really get their knickers in a twist. And lefties are so much fun to laugh at when they get angry.

[ClaireSolt]

I remember that boycot stuff from the 60's. It just gets to be a pain. I'll not take politics to the store, just the invidisable hand.

[Tall_Texan]

Karl Rove had laid out the 2004 plan to suppress Democratic votes, intimidate and challenge Democratic voters. The plan included fielding 30,000 lawyers and pollwatchers in Democratic precincts around the United States to interfere with voters. During the summer of 2004, I researched GOP voter intimidation and the 1980’s Karl Rove –led attempts to use computers to disenfranchise voters. I expected a repeated attempt to rig the vote with the use of black box voting machines, and turn the 2004 election into a third-world-country-sham. I shouted iceberg, but nobody in the Titanic’s helm heard.

Another issue is how complex large corporations are - few are truly red or blue - and how far should this combat go - should they be firing people who donate wrong or who vote wrong? Should we check the politics of local small businesses or even our neighbors before we decide how to treat them?

I prefer to look the more elusive and no doubt harder solutions...

[GOP_Proud]

I took a real quick peek at the list and there's lot of big red elephants. Most of the blues look predictable, i.e. Apple. I don't know where these people will shop for some of they're stuff if they don't buy red. Do without, I guess. Heh...heh...heh.

[manwiththehands]

She lost me after "the Ohio election was rigged" bit. Another delusional moonbat psycho.

However, I did do a quick perusal of buyblue.org. I was not surprised to see the BS and spin. They label companies "big" Republican supporters (donating from $10K to $200K) ... but when you click on the link to the company itself you find that they contributed $170K to Republicans and 'only' $120K to demonRats.

What a joke. These people can't even tell themselves the truth.

[NewJerseyJoe]

This is very handy! This will tell me where NOT to buy!!

We don't call them "useful idiots" for nothing, you know.

[BallyBill]

Interfere?? Tell us what really bothers you about this. Because most of us know exactly why Democrats don't like "pollwatchers".

I'm starting to be more thankful I didn't buy from them...

[BallyBill]

Oh, and to make the Kos Kids feel better. I just went to class to learn how to setup and monitor voting machines and voting precincts.
