Home Depot politics
"Zemedelec" wrote in message ... Maybe this is much too off topic, but a friend of mine who is much more of a political animal than I am told me HD is heavily supported by rich Republicans such as Arthur Blank, the president of Home Depot, who hosted a dinner in Atlanta that gave Bush $2.5 million. So any of you whose whole lives, including gardening, are permeated with their political convictions might want to go to Loew's, etc. if you need to buy at a big chain store. zemedelec I wouldn't doubt this. I saw an interview with him a few days ago. The guy came from the division of GE that made (bad) appliances and other hard goods. He didn't know a nut from a bolt. I wanted to throw a brick through the TV because everything that came out of his mouth sounded like the hypnotic jargon that you would hear from a sales seminar. I guess he never visits the stores, otherwise he might see that all the feel-good "team building" bull shit and new computer systems he promotes are worthless because the stores look like a tornado hit them and the employees know less about the products than he does. I seldom go to HD because I can get the same thing for a little less in a better organized and maintained Lowe's store across the street. I don't want to leave people with the impression that Lowe's doesn't have their own set of problems. They treated my mother very badly when she had them remodel her kitchen, but that is another story. For people interested in tracking contributions to political campaigns, you might want to look at this site: http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php You can enter a street or a zip code and see the contributions of the people around you. You can also enter names. If you click on the name, it will show the contributions of everyone with that name. If you click on the address, it will show people in that area. There is interesting mapping system that shows how red, blue, or purple an are is. |
