There are simpletons that will make their business decision based on such a stupid thing as a poster in the window. <br />The reason that I choose not to display support for any candidates is that in the past, and in the current election, I have friends running opposite of each other in races. My choice was either post everyone who asks or no one. I opted for no one.<br />Since we both agree that there are idiots (not you) that use a political stance on where they shop, maybe some of them could enlighten us business owners what is ok in their feeble minds and what isn't. For instance, I saw a person in a pick-up with a business name puttin up a political sign in an empty lot that I know to be owned by another business owner. Is that ok on either part or should we organize a boycot. If a local business posts a sign supporting a school levy or the 4 for 2, should we boycot them, too. Should I not o to a church if it's pastor is running for an office? <br />I'm just looking for some clarification.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10986741657766548100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-92034467714227981952010-09-21T09:41:32.346-06:002010-09-21T09:41:32.346-06:00If you are going to make your business decisions b...<b> If you are going to make your business decisions based on such silly things, what the heck do you base your political decisions on</b><br /><br />Speaking of assumptions.

I know the Democrats have been regularly meeting at the mall with the candidates and I saw the Republican candidates meeting with their party people just last night as I drove by their office.<br /><br /><br />Do you really think that a group that meets at the mall where the sign was posted with their candidates which includes Warburton’s opponent did not talk about a strategy to combat the support of local business people? Furthermore, why does anyone really care about the support of one business man anyway other than the fact that they want to frighten others from making a public statement of support for a Warburton?<br /><br /><br />Logical thinking would say that Dana as a candidate meets with and takes advice from her party as do other candidates from their parties. People like Thackeray and Frieda attend these meetings and always identify themselves as party leaders and people of political power when they do these idiotic things so the Democrat candidates do know them personally and do listen to them. I can understand maybe Dana didn’t know that Thackeray was going to attack Warburton the first time and may have been caught by surprise but she had ample opportunity to stop him if she didn’t agree with his dirty politics and she did nothing as he attacked over and over numerous times with his distorted rhetoric. This Frieda ding-bat is well known for spewing her republican hatred and these great ideas she has like this boycott at every central committee meeting so it is a stretch for me to even give Dana a pass on this one but I will this time for the sake of fairness but she needs to get her advisors, helpers and supporters in check if she wants to win.<br /><br /><br /><br />Fedup I would never not do business with someone because they supported a particular candidate because this is a small town and some of these candidates are personally connected with or are friends with these business owners. I am in numerous organizations that have members I don’t agree with politically but I am still friends with them. Maybe the business owner could even be related to the candidate. <br /><br /><br />We can agree to disagree without boycotting someone.
