Oreck is still associated with Susan G. Komen

They are still associated with a hard right cause that undermines women.

I own an Oreck vacuum and I've bought the last bag for the piece of crap *even though it's a nice vacuum.

Lie down with dogs, hard right woman-hating dogs, Oreck, you get up with disease.

They advertise on Limbaugh, on Fox News, etcetera. I'm pretty sure it's an official political leaning for them.

That's why none of their products will ever be in my home.

I'll let as many people know as I can.

Let's see how they like how that works.

I am seeing a lot of their products in stores like Walmart, Target, Costco, and even Big Lots. wtf? I have looked at their lower end and even some medium priced models and their rollers are made of wood. You would think you get a machined roller bearing for that money. wtf? This is supposed to be a high end model? I am thinking many models are made in China just sold as made in USA. I think I will pass on any Oreck products for a good while.

I hope they threw it at Mitt Romney LOL. He'll be POTUS about as soon as my shoe will get elected, and it has a better chance, since it is likeable.

They burned a bridge so bright, people could see it from miles away.

Never too late to take money away from hard right leaning, woman hating organizations.

have a friend who was head housekeeper at a major hotel, and said they NEVER used orecks, they were crap.

and now that I know the komen-reichwing connection, will make sure everyone I know is made aware.
