Are you a Democrat-owned business in South Dakota?
ip is looking for Democrat-owned businesses in South Dakota (in addition to the handful posted in The Local Group) for a directory to be compiled at a later date. Anyone else feel like outing yourself or your business as an Obama devotee?
My boycott of GOP-owned businesses is easy in Montana, but very hard when in the Hills and East River. Restaurants, bar and grills are the most interesting since second-hand stores serve most of our needs.
I don't quite think boycotting businesses owned by Republicans or Democrats is very consistent with ideas and ideals of democracy.
Years ago, a businessman in Pierre who was a Democrat claimed he lost about a third of his business within a month when his wife decided to run as a Democratic candidate for the legislature.
That kind of reaction to a political or even partisan decision seems inappropriate to me even if I often hear ideas I detest or note hypocrisy of the nth degree from GOP businessmen and women. d
I don't disagree with you or Cory, Doug, more because of the polarization effect and my point exactly.
Democrats in South Dakota are back on their heels; more offense than defense may be the only way to reverse the damage inflicted by the Dobson assault on Tom Daschle.
Republican is simply another word for Earth hater but comments intended to troll the author or other readers will not be published so use a handle or even your real name and don’t be an asshole.
Boy, I don't know—do you want these nice folks to find crosses burning in their parking lots? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOf course, this is small-town South Dakota: I would think everyone already knows who's a Dem and who's not.
I know, Cory.
