  •  Forget Wal-Mart (none / 0)

    Costco is a much better option, if you have it.  Heavily pro-dem in the soft money filings I just plowed through, seems to be the best choice for blue shoppers.

    •  This isn't the right approach (none / 0)

      I don't believe the approach is to try to get the corporate big-wigs to spend more money on Democrats.  I'd personally prefer a company that didn't spend any money on "soft money" donations.  We need to try to get the corporations out of politics.  Things get bad for us when they make the rules they play by.

      The problem is the entire system of selling out Americans in the pursuit of a higher profit margin.  Wal-Mart is the most glaring example of this, and the one doing the most harm to American workers.  And this is a change from Wal-Mart corporate policy in the past.

      We need to make an issue of what Wal-Mart is doing and how its anti-American policies are hurting America.  Simply saying "Red Voters go to Red Companies; Blue Voters go to Blue Companies" won't help anything.  This isn't Red v. Blue, this is America v. anti-American multinational corporations.  Liberals, conservatives, none of them should support Wal-Mart in their anti-American ventures.

        Kind of my point exactly.  Wal-Mart won't change.  So let's not go there.  If we're going to go somewhere else similar, though, the only other similar stores except Costco are just as entrenched.  Costco's execs appear to be Progressive-minded.
