I may be wrong but I happen to be of the opinion that liberals and democrats in general have a higher income level than most right wing republicans. So if we use our spending dollars wisely we may have the advantage here.

1. I heard Walmarts sales were down, I just wish because

of people like us. I haven't shopped there in a long time.

Nice to see Hyatt on the list. Very funny since Arnold lives in a suite at the Hyatt during the week. My mom works in the gift shop there and sees him and his wife a lot walking by.

3. Three words I will never hear: "Attention K-Mart Shoppers"

Of course, Sears just bought the big K so who know.

You're a Republicanif you like to buy cheap, drink rot gut, drive on crappy tires. and eat really lousy food.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

5. I shop at K-Mart

I buy Martha Stewart's stuff mostly. It's inexpensive, it's a quality product and supports Democrats. Can't go wrong there!

Edit: Welcome to DU! Nice avatar.
