So all the poor folk that the Republicans screw on a regular basis, keep funding the people who keep screwing them. Nice.

1. Dumb working class repugs never learn and the rest of us get screwed right along with them.

2. Time for Democrats to mobilize against Walmart.

For instance, don't shop there.

7. Better wages,

health care, retirement plans, safety oversight, workers' rights...
lots of downsides for union members.

5. Hopefully, this will make the employees come on out and vote!

I never shop there and have explained to my kids (7 and 6) why we don't shop there (they ask, because their friends' parents shop there).


Yesterday I had to explain to my 7 yo why we were going into a WalMart.

My mother needed some stuff and needed a ride. She wanted to go to Walmart. She knows how I feel about it, but she insisted on going there and I drove her.

My son (I'm so proud of him) started with the greeter and told every employee there how sorry he was that they work for a company that treats its employees badly!

On the way back, he gave his granny a lecture on why we shouldn't shop there...because they don't pay their employees enough, because they buy stuff from China and take jobs away from people here...he was great!

My mother now thinks I need to tone down what I say to my kids, since she's worried that there will be another "George W. Bush is a bad man who lied and made a lot of soldiers die for his lies" incident. (I got called to school about that one).

8. Democrats should absolutely stop shopping at Wal-Mart

and Wal-Mart should totally rely on their base to survive ...

Wealthy Republicans (who shop at WAL-MART? don't make me laugh!!!), and out-of-work "working class" who can't afford to pay for the gas to get to the Wal-Mart to buy the gas and their food ... because all the stuff they used to make which would normally have shown up on the shelves of WM (during Sam's reign) are now made overseas ...
