>>>>Who does Biden think is strolling the long aisles of the nation’s Wal-Marts? It’s not the malefactors of great wealth.

Leaders like Joe Biden are why Democrats never should be trusted with profssional responsibility.

Ping.

Walmarts are jobs. Kids going to school, retirees, married people who have spouses in other jobs. And yes, even someone who was displaced by a closure of their business, but that is the minority.

This is about RATS getting unions into these stores. The model is like it is everywhere a union infiltrates. Prices will go up, strikes will occur and eventually the store will close its doors, put people on the unemployment line who will then vote for Democrats who want to help the little guy and blame the cbig bad company for making this happen.

Democrats, and some Republicans, also hate anyone or anything that is successful. Walmart is successful so they hate it.

It is amazing how the 'rats rail against anything that lets ordinary folk keep more of their own money. Maybe if goods are too affordable, people with low incomes won't need the Mommy State to take care of all of their needs.

Will the exposed roots of WalMart-bashing finally alert anti-Walmart freepers to the elitist, left-wingery of those who would hogtie competition?

Will the blind anti-capitalist pigs of socialism lead freeping Wallie-haters to the smelly truffles of protectionism's folly?

And what about Naomi?

Let them shop at Talbot's.

The Democrats:

"Oil companies charge too much, making profits! The government should step in!"

"Walmart charges too little, making profits and hurting other companies! The government should step in!"

Well, at least they are consistent about having a Kim Jong Il/Fidel-Castro style economy, though the justification is ever-shifting.

I love my Super Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart has helped this country become more efficient and effective with each dollar spent. Their push on suppliers keeps the supply chain lean, quality high, and cost low.

[MNJohnnie]

Yep. Democrats are stupid. One of my childish coworkers signed me up on the email list for Howard Dean's illegal 527c Shadow Party called "Democracy for America". So now I get emails that say "A message from Paul Hackett for DFA."
Guess no one bothered to think what those intitials suggest to a reader "Howard Dean for Dumb F...... A....."

[untenured]

No less a bona fide left-winger than John Kenneth Galbraith believed that retail giants were wonderful ways to counter what he was sure was the monopolistic power of manufacturers. It was just a small chain in Arkansas when he wrote that, but I suspect he would've approved of Wal-Mart. My how the left has fallen.

[pollyannaish]

But the wages and benefits offered by Wal-Mart are comparable to those of other retailers.

This is the thing that drives me crazy. Wal-Mart wages and benefits are also often GREATER than mom and pop stores. How Democrats can think that being anti-Wal-Mart is to be "for the little guy" is really odd and a very visible sign of the disconnect between the current Dem philosophy and what they think they stand for.

Weird.

I'm reminded of Theresa Heinz stopping at a Wendy's with her husband on the campaign trail and having NO IDEA what any of the items on the menu were.

That was the most on point article I have read here in months. When Walmart started selling groceries, the union grocery store chains urged the democrats to go on the attack because Walmart will ultimately put them out of business unless they can get local governments (which they have been doing) to deny Walmart from building stores.

Walmart shoppers are putting the democrat's biggest special interest group (unions) out of business, which is bad for democrats.

[Spirochete]

Huey Long himself would be mystified at this choice of demagogy.

Nothing mystifiying about it. Its all about unions.

You'd be AMAZED at the new WalMart in Plano, Texas. Wood floors, glass displays, fresh flowers, $500 wines. Matches anything Whole Foods or Central Market puts out. Very nice!

[Kaylee Frye]

I love Walmart! All the other ladies in my husband's brigade and I meet up there often for our shopping. You'll see us in there at midnight wandering the aisles in little packs of two. I can't stand people who put down people shopping at Walmart. Of course, I generally can't stand putting down people who are "beneath you" in general - it's so elitist and rude.

[GOP_Raider]

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers: Democrats disapprove of your buying habits.

Attention Democrats: Wal-Mart shoppers disapprove of your socialist thieving habits.

[mo]

The Dems percieve Walmart is denying them a constituency...introducing the benefits of capitalism to both customers and employees, who otherwise might well be reliable Democratic voters in a dependency situation.

[NYpeanut]

I would like to know where Biden's very expensive teensy-tiny little loafers are made.

This thread needs something from Today's Toons. Compliments of Pookie...
