22. Does he have employees? What about them? What about his suppliers? There is a bigger picture.

I think you're being a little harsh. It's hard to eliminate every business due to political preference. Would you stop going to your very favorite local restaurant if the owner was a RePub? What about their employees and suppliers, etc. That would hurt them too. Obviously this person gets very good service at this place. Even with the political signs, as long as he doesn't crow all the time about how much he hates Obama. If that happened, I'd ask the guy to please cut the shit or I WOULD take my business elsewhere. Short of that, it is ok to do business with a RePub, at least occasionally. Hell, YOU probably do business with plenty of RePUBS and don't even know it. Is your local plumber, carpenter, electrician, grocery store owner, banker, hardware store owner, department store owner, ice cream shop owner, etc. a RePub? Very possible.
