1. site is down... can you summarize a bit?

[TexasBushwhacker]

2. I think Jeff Bezos of Amazon is pretty much Dem n/t

[mark414]

3. now i don't feel so bad about shopping at the gap...

as well as their other stores...

[Gothmog]

4. I love Costco

Costco appears to be one of the few good choices for purchases.

23. I just joined, but as a single, it's hard to shop there

Costco mostly sells mass quantities of anything.

5. Disheartening overall...

but what do you expect from large corporations?

I was hoping Target might be a little more Dem.

Are Borders and Barnes and Noble owned by the same company? I usually prefer Borders, but I'd be willing to go to B&N for political reasons.

7. Borders and Barnes and Noble are competitors

Each owns a "mall" bookstore as well. B&N owns B. Dalton and Borders owns Walden Books.

8. Especially

Since Target (at least used to be) owned by the Dayton family, the same Dayton family that produced Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN).

6. This is a very cool site, BTW.

Looks like I'll be going to Arby's and Sonic for my fast food fix.

14. It's Sonic for me from now on!

10. our boycott is working folks

look whats happening to walmart, one of our primary red co's. keep it up. sales dismal for walmart after turkey day.

[eissa]

11. Fox is blue?!?!

That was pretty shocking.

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. I noticed that too! n/t

[minerva50]

21. Perhaps they include employee donations

Probably closeted dems assuaging their consciences.

[Doohickie]

13. I just switched from Sam's to Costco.

And I've started shopping Sears and Target rather than Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, the best I can say about Sears & Target is that they simply don't make contributions as large as Wally-World, even thought they are both too red for my tastes.

I've heard Lowe's is bluer than Home Depot; can anyone back that up?

[Killarney]

15. Barnes & Noble - YES!

Notice all the bookstores donate blue?

[Killarney]

16. Hooters gives 96% to the "moral" GOP.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. That's their clientel

That's where Tom DeLay has his meetings.

[pstokely]

22. so did Limited Brands

parent Co of Victoria's secret

[cmf]

18. I think the data on Fox is reversed

It should be 68% Repug and 32% Dem. At least according to OpenSecrets.org and their soft money donations in previous cycles.

[Moloch]

19. We need to aggressively and relentlessly go after the following:

DEM PUG
Sinclair Broadcast Group 5% 95%
$3,833 $72,869
Clear Channel Communications 30% 70%
$201,181 $469,423

Those two corporations unlike any further have spread lies.

20. Add Leatherman Tools to Blue Side

Cause Freepers and GunNuts are boycotting them for having the audicity to support Kerry.

Someone here posted a letter from Tim Leatherman a couple of weeks ago about the hate email/letters he's getting. Anyone have the link? And here's link from Freepers discussing how they're boycotting Leatherman.
