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.
New SD group is searching for Democratic-owned businesses. Scott L. Ehrisman: "Add my bizzo, FB Art. Conservatism is a dead art." South Dakota is still 51st in the percentage of women-owned businesses. The best 20 states for women are all blue while the 20 worst states for women are all red.
With the end of the legislative session, a number of advertisers have completed their run, so interested party has advertising opportunities for reaching voters based on a first-come, first-serve basis for available positions.
On-topic comments are welcome but those solely intended to troll the author or other readers will not be published so kindly use a handle or even your real name.
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.
