do you let the politics of a retailer dictate whether you shop there?

I might if the offenses were bad enough like if they openly didn't hire people because they're gay or black or whatever the bible doesn't like.

I like Target and will continue to shop there. Don't care if they make contributions to whatever party who don't like gays.

Can't say I do. Maybe I'll buy American if I can but I won't go out of my way to do so.

The whole Target thing was really really stupid.

@MasterJedi, i agree. "I might if the offenses were bad enough like if they openly didn't hire people because they're gay or black or whatever the bible doesn't like."

if they are c****, they're not getting my money.

i haven't watched anything on clusterfox for at least a decade now. why patronize any establishment that is causing harm to one's interests?

This. If I know an establishment is doing such a thing, I try to not give them my money.

It's not really all that important to me, ranking somewhere below the pricing and shopping experience when it comes down to my vendor choices. My wife feels very differently, for example she won't patronize any business that displays one of those Jesus fish stickers in the window. Strangely enough, she has no problem with Walmart, go figure on that one...
