Left In Lowell

AMERICAblog ferrets out the true nature of the apparently very red Target. It stands to reason that the CEO really doesn’t mind that some of his employees might fail to fill prescriptions for legal birth control:

Over the years, Target CEO Robert Ulrich has donated:

- $71,353 to Republicans
- $3,660 to Democrats

Hmmm… that’s interesting.

Perhaps my favorite donation is the $5,000 he gave just two months ago to a PAC named “Every Republican is Crucial.”

Among other donations:

$1,000 to anti-gay bigot Mel Martinez, now the GOP Senator from Florida.
$1,000 to kinky-sex-cage-my-wife-please GOP Senate hopeful from IL Jack Ryan.
$3,000 to Bush-Cheney ‘04
$1,000 to Bush for President 2000
$1,000 to Elizabeth Dole for President 2000
$603 to the Republican National Committee
$1,000 to Robert Dole for President 1996

The only Dems he’s given to in nearly 20 years, according to the online records, are Amy Klobuchar and Tim Penny from Minnesota. Yeah, big hitter’s, those two.

That’s it, I’m done shopping at Target. I love the stuff there, it’s higher quality without the high price (which probably means just a better set of child labor, but I digress). I will send them a letter and call them to tell them so. Not one more dollar to people whose actions every day brings us closer to being ruled by the American Taliban.
