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

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.

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...
