Seems to me that you're making the (false) assumption that
gardeners can't be conservative.


That's a peculiar conclusion.


Why is it peculiar? The OP made a point of stating that Mr.
Banks is Republican and supports Republican politicians, and
therefor gardeners (this IS a gardening forum, is it not?)
should not shop at HD.

It seems like an advisory statement to me.
"This is what I heard.


It was a statement of fact (albeit incorrect),not an
opinion.


Statements of fact don't start with a disclaimer about hearing something
second-hand from a friend The reason that your assumption is wrong is that
nowhere did the OP say that if you were a liberal you shouldn't shop at HD.
He/She only pointed out that you should consider the possibility that HD is
a source of RNC funding and act accordingly - and only then if politics
permeates your life. I'm sure that there will be a significant number of
Republicans who don't vote for Bush this year. Some will simply stay home,
others will leave the box for president blank, and still others will vote
for another candidate. The Republican party has deviated away from
reasonable conservative values into the land of NEO-conservatism, AKA,
fascism. Not wanting to support Bush is not proof that your aren't
conservative. In fact, it doesn't look like Nancy Reagan supports Bush and
I sincerely doubt that a true conservative like Barry Goldwater would wipe
his ass with the likes of Bush.

Sorry, won't wash. The OP made the statement that Arthur
Blank is the CEO of HD. Factually incorrect.

The reason that your assumption is wrong is that
nowhere did the OP say that if you were a liberal you shouldn't shop at HD.


Oh, come on! Insinuation DOES mean something. If it
didn't, what in the world were all those speeches about for
the last four days at the DNC?

"Reasonable" is in the eye of the beholder. You're simply
stating an (your?) opinion.

into the land of NEO-conservatism, AKA,
fascism.


Define "NEO-conservatism". Define "fascism". Are they
really the same?

In fact, it doesn't look like Nancy Reagan supports Bush


Since when is Nancy Reagan the arbitor of what Conservatism
stands for?
