I'm serious...why would you take it out on a community's businesses because you don't like the guy that got voted in? Did 100 percent of the community vote for the guy?

you want to take it out on the percentage of people that probably voted on your side of the election. I'm just curious why....what do you hope to accomplish w/ this strategy?

Simply put; I don't support their viewpoint and thus the areas that gave the most support for him will see the least from me directly. I will make exceptions for some businesses but when I need things like gas or something I can buy in another town that is what I will do. Same goes for Duval, I enjoy New Hampshire.

The hollow threats upon businesses in towns that voted for certain people is weak.

Using political motivations as a reason to not use a certain vendor is seriously pathetic.

Booger has staunchly opposite political views compared to me but I consider him a good guy and will use his plugs till the cows come home. I don't really give a damn who he voted for, he makes a good product.

Your and your buddies 'wallets' aren't going to change anyone's views as they're personal views, and frankly none of your business.

I don't really care who the guys at CMS voted for. They're a great bunch of helpful and informative guys who deserve the dollars people give them as they run a quality business.

New Hampshire?
Move there.
Don't let the door hit you in the a@#.

By the way, make sure you find out where any seafood you buy came from.
If it came out of New Bedford, don't bother buying it.

I think you should go to NY or something

But did you still vote for Bawney ?

Ed, you might want to skip the New Beige Waterfront Festival or something in ptotest but I'm guessing the percentage of small-biz owners voting for Frank was a lower percentage of the general population.
