WalMart, check.

Southern Comfort, check.

Outback Steakhouse, check.

Nevertheless, I wish the authors and forwarders of the original emails would include a link or two.

Just for you, I found it here. Don't know anything about SodaHead and they don't link to the CFRP. And, yeah, links would really help with the verification and ability to share.

Oh, I forgot: http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/2012-election-cycle-political-donations-as-reported-by-the-center-for-responsive-politics/question-2849969/ (http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/2012-election-cycle-political-donations-as-reported-by-the-center-for-responsive-politics/question-2849969/)

Post by: Pandora on November 15, 2012, 07:17:05 PM: Thank you, Charles! Very kind of you. I didn't intend to put the onus on you, but on the originators of these emails.

And Home Depot can KMA, donors to Republicans or not, for their support of the sodomy lobby.

Merely contradictory? Or an effort to undermine?

Homo Depot are like most republicans today....They may give to republicans, but will cater to every deviant group there is. I can't shop there.

Hey, who did Jack Daniels give to? I love that Knob Creek. ;D

And I'm not quitting my job because an acquisitionee is on that list in the wrong column. ;)

Same boat MNHawk. After I cashed out the rest of my cartel points into $0.50 coupons I only have a few left to cash in on their Tuesday matching coupon days, then it will be gas only at CostCo, I can't get premium cheaper any other place, and as for the bulk items I get there is nothing else close by to go where I can save bucks. I guess when it comes down to it some crossing into enemy territory cannot be 100% eliminated, we can only limit it as much as possible.
