Republican-Only Corporate Donors

Source: My Due Diligence. I've added a little information about what each company does:

In addition:

These companies vote with their dollars. You should vote with yours.

That's odd, they usually hedge their bets and give to both parties.

And to head off the inevitable nitpicking, the keyword here is CORPORATE **PACs***.

Ben & Jerry's does not have a PAC.

Wow, Outback Steakhouse gives more money to the Republicans than Halliburton.

I wasn't going there anyway because they suck, but there's another reason.

Vote with my dollars?
Most of those companies produce stuff that you and I will never come into contact with (outside of wendy's, outback, and so on).
Most work in industry supply and therefore it is almost impossible to boycot them as a direct consumer. We can do what we can, but companies like Exxonmobil don't really care about their sales of gasoline. Since they supply almost 80% of the jet fuel in the country, they have other markets.

But, we do what we can.
More then anything this proves how pro-business the Republican party is, and why. We live in a corporate oligarchy.

Yeah, it's really dumb to put all your eggs in one basket and then see your party thrown into the political wilderness. Makes more sense to donate equally to both so they're both in your pockets.

Um, yeah, that's what i just said.

"We the People" of the front. A treasure map on the back.

Right on. Well, if these assholes helped pav the way for George W. Douch, the least I can do is avoid their products like the plauge. As long as I live, I shall never eat at Wendy's again!!

I am gonna get this list to all my rational, intelligent friends.(meaning, people who dislike GWB)

gracias!

yeah, that is surprising, considering that rummy was involved in the frankenfood industry between his periods of public disservice.

How many stocks do you own that outperformed the DJIA? Or how has your 401K plan performed during the first four years of Bush? Well, quite a number of these companies outperformed the DJIA as the chart below suggests. Which do you suppose came first; their support of Bushie or the RNC support of these companies?

Drug Company> Hey George, I want to rip off the American people.
GWB> Yeah?
Drug Company> I want to sell pharamaceuticals to Medicare and I don't want them to haggle on price, I want to charge any price I like.
GWB> Well, I do need some donation money, but can't they buy cheap Canadian drugs?
Drug Company> Ha Ha, just say that Canadian drugs are unsafe.
GWB> Ok, that makes me laugh too..
Drug Company> It's nice doing business wih you.

So are you going to cook me my square hamburgers Keith, or is this boycott just not for me?

but then, Ben & Jerry's is part of Unilever now.

Ah, but part of the agreement still requires them to donate to liberal causes. Heh.

Thanks for the list. The only company I do any business with on this list is Home Depot, and they suck so bad I'll be sure to avoid them in the future. The only thing these people understand is money, so hitting them where it counts speaks volumes.

Oh wait - doesn't Ford own Volvo now? Damn Looks like I buy aftermarket parts...

I dunno, it's gonna be a total bitch avoiding 3M (diskettes, hard drives, post-it notes, glue, tape) and International Paper products.

How about Archer-Daniels Midland?

Well, like I said, this is only a list of PACs.

I know, Keith. I was just wondering where ADM sits in that list of PACs, but I can't access the full list.

....and here is a link to Celiberal - the celebrity liberal whine list.

Detailing the idiot comments hollywood's celebrity liberals from Ben AFFLECK to Robin WILLIAMS - taking in Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn and Tim Robbins along the way.

example? who could forget this classic from Chrissie Hynde:

"Let's get rid of all the economic shit this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!"

These people helped engorge the coffers of the Kerry campaign to greater levels than the companies above helped Bush - and the great thing is...it was all in vain. Even with these coked up billionaire hand-wringers preaching "morality" to the masses, the masses still made their own minds up.

I'd echo Keith's comment "These companies vote with their dollars. You should vote with yours"...but seriously, who would want to see most of these people in action anyway? Anyone here like the Dixie Chicks?

Morrissey was good in the eighties................

Oh, look, another unrelated and unsupported post from Albion!

What a surprise!

Unrelated? Keith posts a list of companies who support the Republicans. I post a list of celebrities who support the Democrats.

Unsupported? Celiberal has comments these people have made and a quick trip to Google corroborates this information.
