8. Ain't that a pisser.
"None in Wisconsin"

I live 5 miles from a Wal Mart & 100 from a Costco. Life ain't fair.

16. I've e-mailed Cost-co begging them to come to WI
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.

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

Organic, reasonable prices, good stuff and I think they are pretty Lib.

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.

13. Costco is not an alternative to Walmart. it is an alternative to Sam's Club , which is owned by
Walmart. I would sat Target is an alternative to Walmart but more expensive.KMart might be closer but I don't know who KMart supports!

17. I shop at Target, but unfortunately, they give more to Republicans...
...than to Democrats, by a ratio of 83:17.

http://www.buyblue.org/node/1963/view/summary
$36,380 to Democrats
$181,060 to Republicans
