"None in Wisconsin"
I live 5 miles from a Wal Mart & 100 from a Costco. Life ain't fair.

I got a sorry but no plans in the near future e-mail back, but for about a year I got e-mails offering free trial memberships at Cost-Co.

Yep, Costco; and it's a much better place than Sam's or Wal-Mart.

10. Wal-Mart donates to Democrats |
|
It is part of the corporate Establishment, and as such it hedges its bets by donating to both parties. I can't speak as to the habits of Trader Joe's, but Wal-Mart pretty much has its slimy tentacles all over the place.

11. That's true, but Wal-Mart by 78:22 favors Republicans. |
