found these sites (buyblue.org ,choosetheblue.com) where you can see the percentage of $ donated to political campaigns. I was pleased to note that the place we spend roughly half our income (costco) is 98% blue and horrified to find out that the other half of our income spent at home depot supports the dark side.
other highlights :
buy from estee lauder (91), barnes & noble (98), bed bath & beyond (93), ticketmaster(95), arbys (100), sonic drive in (100), hyatt (87), expedia.com (95), hotwire.com(95), progressive insurance(100)
avoid fruit of the loom(100), circuit city(96), hormel (100), saks (95), cinemark movie theaters (97), columbia house (100), wendy's (91), darden restaurants (red lobster, olive garden -91), hooters (97), brinker restaurants (chilis, maggianos, macaroni grill - 92), outback (NO! 98), pizza hut (95), colorado rockies (100! i'm ashamed), drury inn (98),

Hooters?!? I guess Conservatives like boobies too...whoda thunk it :).
ReplyDeleteNow I don't know what to do. Michelob, say it isn't so!
ReplyDeleteHello, Hooters is SUCH a redneck place! It's perfect for us Republicans!
ReplyDeleteLooks like us republicans got our priorities straight with all the good restaraunts and underwear. Don't need anything but a pair of tighty whities, a wife beater and some hot wings from Hooters.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest thing about Target being red is that at one point I heard people wanted to boycott Target b/c it is a French corporation. Idiots...all idiots.
