Buy Blue

A great site, which breaks down corporate campaign contributions by Party. Support the blue stores!!! Vote with your pocketbook!

Buy Blue

Particularly depressing/crazy:

  • Circuit City: 96% contributions to Republicans
  • Home Depot: 94% to Republicans (no wonder I prefer Lowe’s!)
  • Fruit of the Loom: 100% to Republicans
  • Outback Steakhouse: 95% to Republicans
  • Russell Stover’s Chocolates: 100% to Republicans
  • Hallmark: 92% to Republicans (no wonder the GOP has the market cornered on cheap sentimentality)
    Particularly reassuring/heartwarming:

  • Costco: 98% to Dems
  • Barnes and Noble: 98% to Dems (I still don’t forgive them for driving small bookstores out of business, though)
  • Bed, Bath, and Beyond: 97% to Dems
  • Sharper Image: 92.4% to Dems
  • J Crew: 100% to Dems
  • Sketchers: 100% to Dems
  • Starbucks: 100% to Dems (wish they had saved up a bit to improve their coffee)

I wrote about this, too. Notice how most of the blue stores are uber-expensive? Most shocking Red: Southwest Airlines. And, please, don’t lament the redness of Fruit of the Loom. Their stuff always falls apart in my wash.
