Sign outside of business causing a boom in customers
msnbc ^ | 11.17.2012 | wboy

Posted on 11/17/2012 8:23:53 PM PST by Morgana

Riley Gunnoe says business is booming at his tool store in St. Albans. He says it's because of a sign outside.

Gunnoe told me he didn't know what was going to happen when he put this phrase on it, "If you are for Obama's policies, please keep your dumba$$ out of this store."

Gunnoe says he didn't know what was going to happen when he put the sign up. "I didn't care. But it really has doubled my business since I put it up so I'm glad I did now!"

Some people in the community say it makes them question whether they would do business with Riley.

Thomas Snyder of Charleston said, "Who knows in the future if I was going to buy tools and my friends referred me to them, but now, why would I want to go there?"

The drive system on my wheel barrow has a never ending supply of natural gas. My wife doesn’t like it very much so she must not be much of an environmentalist. It does make her kind of green though.

No the sentence I was referring to was the “Riley sells Makita Tools” and afaik Ms. Pike is not related to the company. Maybe I’m wrong but unless she works for Makita, it’s irrelevant.

Come to think of it that is strange. However Ms. Pike probably did Makita a favor.

Think of what Riley said “”If anyone was stupid enough to believe in Obama’s policies, then I think they’re too dumb to own a tool. They’ll probably get hurt on it,” said Gunnoe. “

Stupid people should not be using Makita tools. They should stick with something safe and more to their level like the crap sold at Harbor Freight.

Obama supporters do not buy tools...they “borrow” them.

That picture shows a rose without thorns....Socialism promises that very thing...a rosy society without the thorns. Yet thorns without the bloom is all socialism can deliver!
