When Senator Joseph Biden and other democrats on the campaign trail took after Walmart, liberal friends of mine cringed.
“Wal-Mart, the nation‚Äôs largest employer, is planning to launch a voter registration and education campaign this fall targeted at its 1.3 million employees in an effort to combat growing criticism from Democrats and labor unions.
By doing so, the world’s largest retailer is striding into the national political arena, which until this election cycle it has taken pains to avoid.
Wal-Mart’s voter registration and education programs could be among the biggest in the country, though not as big as those of its labor union opponents. The AFL-CIO, for example, has nearly 13 million members.
The company‚Äôs decision appears to be a response to several high-profile Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and four 2008 Democratic presidential hopefuls, who participated in a labor-organized anti-Wal-Mart campaign this summer.”
That’s not good news for Dems. You see they chased a “boogie man”, which wasn’t there. Fact is that people like Walmart reguardless of the slanted polling this story tells us about. The proof of that is that Walmart is still the country’s most successful and profitable company, shopped at by just about everyone, except that is blue-blooded Democrat Aristrocrats.
Watch for the Democrats to cry “foul!” now, and “no fair!”
UPDATE: Take That II! $4 for a month’s supply of generic medication? You betcha!
Oooooh, EVIL Walmart!
