Wal-Mart running Pro-Bush government commercials.

[onehandle]

"Have you heard? The government is giving us economic stimulus checks. Cash them here at Wal-Mart for free."

Perfectly legal.

Bravo, Mr. Rove. Bravo.

1. So? MoveOn.org should have a donation drive based on the stimulus checks. n/t

[liberal N proud]

2. Wal-Mart is just going after every dollar they can

I don't think it is intentional pro-bu$h

Did you expect them to say save that stimulus, put it in your pocket? They are just one of the hundreds of companies out there after your money.

Mine went into savings

3. It's a bribe, just like any other year during Bush's wild ride.

A bribe that we will have to pay back one way or another.

I hope the coming Democratic President quits this expensive check mailing scam.

[liberal N proud]

4. No doubt

That is one reason mine went into savings. Next April it may come back to haunt us otherwise.

5. Walmart...

...is the American version of the Soviet Store.

I had never been in a Wilmar until a few weeks ago, and the first thing that popped into my mind was the "pleasure" of shopping in eastern europe, before 1990.

6. same thing at a bunch of different places.

7. I have heard similar commercials from ABC Warehouse, various car dealerships,

furniture stores, etc so Wal-mart is Oh My God doing something that everyone else is doing too!Your Wal-mart hatefest gets pretty pathetic at times.

8. Makes as much business sense as political sense...nothing better for Wal Mart

than to have somebody standing in the store with a wad of cash in his hand. It doesn't really matter where it came from, as long as they can separate that fool and his money before he goes out the door.

9. what took wally world so long?

I mean, as soon as they announced that there were going to be stimulus checks, damn near every commercial was about "spending you stimulus check" at Joe's widgit emporium ...

[spanone]

10. a lot of businesses are fishing for that money....

[and-justice-for-all]

11. This would be the kind of ad I would run

"Do not buy jack shit, PAY YOUR BILLS."

[Snotcicles]

12. My family has not set foot in a Mal-Wart for twelve years. nt
