    at least they are being honest about the fact that they give money to politicians they feel will have their coorporate interest in heart.

    still, they should have chosen a more worthey canidate.

    I doubt there is any direct relation between the homophobia and Target.

    To be honest, the only reason politicians get involved in this bs is shock-and-awe politics. In america, the best ideas don't make it to the top, the most outlandish ones do...

    It doesn't matter all that much.. Emmer has already lost a LOT of face with the people of Minnesota.

    He is anti-gay. He thinks waitstaff should be paid $2.13/hour (since they make $100,000with tips factored in...idiot) He thinks Sarah Palin is "an excellent leader" and that Arizona's immigration law "is a great first step". Emmer is far too conservative for the people of Minnesota, and I hope to GOD that he keeps shoving his foot in his mouth so he won't get elected.

    I am disappointed with Target for sure. This is the kind of thing I would expect from Wal-Mart.

    All we have to do is let the palin's, Emmer's, Bachman's, (Rand) Paul's, Lowden's, and Angle's continue acting like this, and they will allow the founding father's progressive ideas to continue of freedom, liberty, and equality that the conservative powers during the american revolution saw as dangerous and evil.

    Voters will either go to the democrats, or more hopefully, they will go independent, thereby calling on the republicans to stop this fundementalist chirstian destruction of their party, and hatred of the founding fathers, most of which are now ignored by republicans, or have false histories created for so they can pretend the founding fathers agreed with their hate filled pesudo facist policies that are already destroying america.
