DU'ers We need a pro-democrat business list and a pro-republican list

[Demonaut]

I hate to think the money I'm spending at stores and financial intitutions is being funneled to the RNC or bush's campaign.
Pro-Dem: CostCo
Partly Pro-Dem: Bank Of America, CitiGroup


Pro-Repuke: MBNA, Wachovia, WalMart

[amber dog democrat]

1. Apple Computer - is pro DEM

Dell is sNOT.

[Demonaut]

3. good, dell is off the xmas shopping list

[stavka]

27. Isn't Apple an extension of Microsoft now?

Didn't they get some huge 400 million dollar bailout from Gates a few years back, in no small part to act like there wasn't a monopoly in PC's?

Granted, it seems most that use Mac's are Dems.....

[amber dog democrat]

39. Apple is alive and well.

Anyway Steve Jobs is one of the advisors and corporate supporters of the Democratis Party. But I think the best thing about Apple is that they are the one's doing serious innovation. Not copying others in the industry.

plus they are the last ones who make the whole wiget, from OS to peripherals to hardware.

Microsoft is not too concerend about Apple, plus they have all those viruses and hackers to fend off. - that and Microsoft is good at defending weak products.

Ive used XP off and on when I must. Coming from OS/X I am not very impressed.

2. Did I hear

Curves is repug? Don't take it on my word, though.

[Rainbowreflect]

4. The owner of Curves give LOTS of money to "pro-life" groups.

When questioned about it the owner said Curves did not give to radical groups. Radical in who's eyes????

[Demonaut]

[wryter2000]

11. Welcome Yer Honor!

:hi:

I paid that parking ticket, yes I did.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

7. Ben and Jerry's Icecream is Pro-Dem, obviously.

[stavka]

29. I was asked about B&J vs Haagendaas in a recent Zogby Poll

I went with Haag

[DoktorGreg]

8. Can I plug my website here?

[Demonaut]

[vetwife]

10. Use it as your signature line..We do

[Lithos]

12. I heard Sonic contributes to Dems...

But Outback, Domino's and Little Caesers are solidly pro-puke...

L-

[K-W]

15. Sonic is very dem

One of the few fast food places that is.

[Wcross]

37. Just picked up a sonic styrofoam cup.....

off the road in front of my home. Makes me all warm and fuzzy that they are pro-Dem. I wish they were pro-environment.

[Blue_Roses]

[Shallah Kali]

14. BoycottBush.net looks helpful

[RebelOne]

16. Ford!!! This is terrible! I own a Ford

and I'm still making payments, so I can hardly boycott them.

[stavka]

30. I doubt there is a heavy/rust belt industry that is Pro-dem

[Demonaut]

19. thanks!!, this site has good info but I'd like to know more about US based

companies that aren't listed on thier site

[ElsewheresDaughter]

17. pro-dem Martha Stewart, Target, most Independant Book stores are pro-dem

[Demonaut]

20. uh, pro-dem or pro-repuke?

[LynnTheDem]

18. Oh great.

Let's PUNISH people who aren't Democrats.

Let's become JUST THE SAME as the rightwingnut Freepers!

We must PUNISH those who use their American freedoms to belong to a party other than ours!

No thanks.

[Demonaut]

21. uh thats what the post is ABOUT! I don't want my money funding fundies

yes we CAN punish the bottom line of these companies and WE SHOULD

[kayell]

22. Since pro-repuke businesses often also have horrendous employee

practices, I see this as a very valuable list. We each make our own choices how and why to spend our money. I don't force wingnuts not to shop where they want. Why should you care what basis I use to choose who I patronize?

[Demonaut]

25. thank you Kayell, I work hard for my money and when I spend it

I like to know its going to companies that share my values

[LynnTheDem]

32. Exactly the same

The very same excuses the rightwingnuts use to justify their punishing of anyone who doesn't vote Republican.

If a company has poor employee standards or experiments on animals etc, then yep, I punish them by not purchasing their goods.

But to be so childish as to punish someone because of what political party they belong to???

No thanks.

I'll leave that to the immature childish idiotic rightwingnuts.

[Demonaut]

33. got your two cents the first time and call me a leftwing nutcase

welcome to DU

[Logansquare]

23. Costco CEO is huge Dem contributor

[Logansquare]

24. Radio Shack advertises on AA, and pulled their ads on Rush

after listeners complained about racist comments made.

[Logansquare]

26. GE has been a fairly immoral right-wing company

but they own damn near everything from lightbulbs to NBC, so good luck boycotting them.

[Logansquare]

28. Cracker Barrel--hold the record for sex and race lawsuits

Black? Gay? Female? You're not Cracker Barrel's kind of cracker, apparently.

[stavka]

31. Somebody had to beat out Denny's

[NervousRex]

34. Orifice Max or Orifice Despot?

Anybody got info on either of these.? Both are close for buying CD'R's.

[Demonaut]

35. Office Max is pro-dem

[Kukesa]

36. Go buy a Starbuck's latte.
