Liberals Mobilize

The left wing KooKs in this country, you know the BLUE STATERS (LOL), have been crazy mad over the outcome of the election. If you did not see that coming years ago you were not paying attention. Lately amidst the Ohio recounts and the five millionth recount in Florida, the Left has decided that they will take the data from a "neutral" Data Gathering site called WWW.OpenSecrets.Org and use it to encourage their constituents to avoid brand names that contribute to Republicans. When I first saw this I couldn't help but laugh. I have perused the Info sites about these PAC donations for ever, but just for fun. These wackos are taking this info and putting it on websites such as BuyBlue and ChoosetheBlue to promote anti-Red state initiatives. The humorous part is that they ask the question: "What if I want to buy Red? Their answer is hillarious. They actually try to make you think that you could'nt achieve the same goal if you went with Red. Here is their answer "This too is a very common question we get asked, although it is usually more inflammatory or a threat of some kind. Those are always amusing reads. Our answer: more power to you! By doing so you are helping us to achieve our ultimate goal and you are helping to get the attention of corporations. Thank You!
However, the people that write us and tell us they are going to "buy red" don't understand the vision of the web site and don't understand that we control the definition of "buying red". Currently, our information is politically based, but when it becomes comprehensive I think these same people will find that "buying red" is an untenable position. "Buying red" will no longer mean supporting corporations who donated to the Republican party, it'll mean supporting corporations that pay sub-standard wages, have unethical business practices, destroy the environment to make a buck, and discriminate against minorities, women and homosexuals. In fact there is a chance you might even find corporations who contributed to Democrats declared "red" or at the very least borderline." That is just so funny!
I'll explain abit more for those who need elaboration, but as for those who just want to go check out the list of Red state vs Blue state donations, you can find the links at the bottom of this page.
You see when an owner of a company or conglomerate wishes to support a certain politician, they organize a PAC (Political Action Committee )to gather donations and deliver the funds to the respective candidates or office holder. This is done because many organizations are restricted by law, from contributing directly. It is in this realm that we see groups like Moveon.org and 527s thrive.
It is great to be informed about things such as this, and once in a while even I get caught up in mini boycotts too. For example, The Dixie Chicks don't sound the same to me anymore, I don't think I will ever buy any thing made by Hines corporation, and I was thoroughly annoyed by Target because they decided to be spineless wimps and disallow the Salvation Army bell ringers at Christmas time simply because Agnostic and Anti Christian factions cried foul. I, however , cannot see myself going all out and " Voting with my wallet" every where I go. It is not important to me what the CEOs and the higher ups in these companies, think politically, nor is it any of my business who they support politically. It is still a free country ya know.
I find the information interesting, but as a novelty, not as a means of political support. If the company develops a policy that treads on my freedoms or beliefs, then , YES I will stop trading with them. I think this Blue State Red State thing is obsessed over more by Leftists than by those evil Red Staters. It is just another symptom of the liberal mental disorder, PEST ( Post Election Selection Trauma). I think it is funny.
