When Obama called Fluke the signal fora take out was clear. The apology told them they were getting close and Dear Debbie is building the “conventional wisdom”.

Anybody think we are ever going to have a free and fair election??

I have bought Shari’s Berries for years but will no longer!

Call them and tell them your berries were horrible and you want a refund. Two can play this political down and dirty game.

These CHEAP ass liberals are never going to support these businesses like we did. It is their lose not ours! Plenty of other places to spend our money. Let’’s see them get these liberals to PAY for anything much less expensive strawberries that people can live without.

Liberals are good at organizing boycotts while sitting behind a computer but never actually BUYING any of the products. Too bad these companies didn’t bother to find out they are being scammed!

I've been a regular customer. When I take myself off the email list I'll make it clear why.

That aside, what's the point of boycotting Rush after he's apologized? I predict the postmortem on America will be pusillanimity.

Its pretty darn easy to search for a flower shop in any city, and then call them to order flowers or whatever. Heck of a lot cheaper too.

I guess if you want to see what a rose looks like then proflowers has its uses.

I’ve used Proflowers for many years. No problem finding another supplier. It’s a competitive business. Others will be happy to provide the goods.

>”Rush should call ProFlowers personally and order their biggest bouquet to be sent to Fluke and make a big deal about it on the air, then call Sleep Train and do the same thing”<

First of all Pro Flowers uses FedEx to deliver their product. I predict business for both companies will be slowing down. Libtards who won't spend .50 cents on a Condom to service their Flukes don't cough up $50 for Flowers.

BTW - Does Sleep Train have an “Industrial Strength” line?

Quicken Loans, Sleep Train Mattresses, Sleep Number, LegalZoom, Citrix and Proflowers and maybe others have pulled advertising.

These kinds of companies are the ones who support the garbage on television. And the stench gets worse and worse.

I have never been more pleased than the day I cancelled cable service. I feel like I live in a real home.

I sent them an email and told them I was no longer a customer. I had been using them for several years with the Rush promo. No longer. Like I told them: “It works both ways” By the way, David Friend, CEO of Carbonite, supported Obama in the last election. Possibly a MOVE-ON.org supporter.

Is someone keeping a list of those who are dropping Rush?
I want to know who to boycott.

I'd like that list also plus the lost of the spineless companies that dropped Glenn Beck.

Carbonite
Quicken
2 mattress companies
Pro Flowers
Legal Zoom

There’s one other. Business is terrified of not appearing PC. They take no stands on very much of anything anymore. Working alongside people is like sitting in a crowd of Stepford people. No one dares do anything but wear a stupid smile and butter people up. It’s actually sickening, when you really think about it—all that happy face nothingness.

I'm going to let Rush have the next word on all of this. If nothing else, he deserves it for all he has done for the Republic.

I put together a post on ‘alternatives to’ and looked up the advertisers that have said they’ll drop Rush: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2853972/posts?page=154#154

Clarification...I have not seen ANYTHING that says Shari’s has joined the boycott. I just said that they are the only sponsor that I have bought from. I’m hoping they stay strong and do not cave to Leftist pressure.

I’ve been a Carbonite customer for a long time. Will be closing the account this week.
