12/18   Make sure that you are doing business with a company that
        only supports "blue" candiates:
        http://www.choosetheblue.com/main.php
        \_ How the hell could Fox Cable Net be blue?
        \_ Hey thanks!  Now I know what businesses to avoid.
          \_ Wanted to trick a subscription list into letting me
             have more than 3 subscriptions.  Can get away with
             soda, soda.csua, and csua.  Was hoping for a 4th to the
             same address.  But, nevermind, I'm not going to bother with
             the IP address idea.  Thanks.  -op
        \_ uh, HJ Heinz is red, very red. How can that be?
           \_ Because Heinz is a fucking hypocrite.
        \_ Video games are all democratic while for cars, all except Toyota
           are red. Ditto with gasoline companies. Come on, it's not like we
           really have a lot of choices. The fact of the matter is, most
           corporations are in fact red... what are you gonna do about it,
           move to Montana and not buy anything?
                   \_ s/Montana/Canada/
           \_ Amazingly, there's a reason why businesses are Republican, because
              business owners are overwhelmingly Republican. The reason why
              they are is because the Republican administration favors
              businesses by not demonizing them or overtaxing them or
              over regulating them.  Duhh. Yes, the democratic party is stupid,
              but we already knew that when the only thing its dumbass elitist
              followers can do is pull a stupid stunt like this. You figure
              that after the Iraq debacle they would've learned sanctions
              don't work.
              \_ Why not? If a business wants to go out and align itself with
                 political agendas then it has to accept the possibility of
                 pissing off customers who have a problem with that. Businesses
                 don't have to do that shit.
        \_ Funny exercise: find the most lopsided category.  I found meat
           sellers to have only one blue business.
        \_ Try this with actors. If you are red person like me, makes it
           hard to ever see a movie or watch TV.
           \_ Out of curiosity, have you found any red movies at all?
              How about Red Dawn?
           \_ You're not missing much.  Read a book.
           \_ You blue state people crack me up. Who cares which party
              an actor supports if they do a decent job of acting?
        \_ Toyota is the ONLY blue automobile company. That does it, I'm gonna
           \_ Toyotas suck, dude.
              \_ Such a balanced statement.  Well researched, too.
                 \_ If you could pick a car out of the following, BMW, Mercedes,
                    Jag, Honda, Toyota, I doubt anyone would pick the Toyota.
                    The only thing that's good from Toyota is Lexus and that's
                    only if you get the high-end Lexus. The only time I would
                    pick a Toyota would be if you relegated me to it and
                    domestic cars like Ford or GM. Hell, I'd rather drive
                    a MiniCooper rather than a Toyota, and I'm not a
                    metrosexual.
                    \_ Do you have to be metrosexual to drive a mini? Actually,
                        I don't know any gay guys who drive minis, just metros...
                    \_ The Toyota Camry is the top selling car in America.
                    \_ I'd pick the Toyota.  I think they're reliable,
                       not bad looking, fuel efficient, and gives me bang
                       for buck.  But you knew all that, right?
                       \_ They are expensive, but they are probably the
                          best cars made right now along with Honda. I say
                          this as an owner of a BMW who has experience
                          with Jaguar, Toyota, Honda, and Mercedes.
                    \_ If have the money to buy cars like BMW, jag, and
                        Mercedes, I would still buy a Toyota and spend the
                        extra money on options and upgrades.

        \_ Oh fuck Dell, i am going to throw out my Dell 20" into the trash!!
