I meant to allow multiple choices don't know how I can go back to change that.

Political reasons? None of these.

In the past, I have boycotted Burger King for giving me food poisoning and Taco Bell for shorting my drive-thru order multiple times.

None of the companies listed. However, I did boycott Subway when they granted Mike "Dawgkilla" Vick an endorsement contract after he was released from prison.

None of those. I find boycotting to be pretty dumb

All of the companies on this poll have been boycotted for political reasons from both left and right . I actually left out Subway which I boycotted for a while because of their endorsement of Michelle Obama. I have boycotted Citgo for over 10 years and still do because they are owned by Venezuela's government, which is run by anti-American socialists most recently Hugo Chavez. He is dead now, thank goodness, but the government there is still a socialist, communist, anti-American regime.

Liberals and Democrats boycott Chick fil A and Duck Dynasty because the Chick fil A CEO and the Duck Dynasty's main star oppose gay marriage.

The Sabra hummus brand is boycotted by Arabs and Muslims and anti-Israeli people because of its alledged connections to Israel.

Some people are boycotting Florida products because of Trayvon Martin.

BP was boycotted because of the Gulf oil spill.

Walmart is boycotted by many liberal anti-capitalist, Occupy types though its also faced conservative criticism for using illegal aliens in their stores and in their construction sites. Walmart is probably the company that is most boycotted by liberals and Democrats besides Chick fil A and the most boycotted company for non gay marriage related reasons. Many people who hate Walmart hate capitalism in general.

I threatened to boycott Spirit Airlines recently because of how they treated that dying Vietnam veteran. Public pressure forced them to allow the man to fly to see his son's wedding before his death.

What exactly did Sabra Hummus do?

Anyway, I voted for Chick-Fil-A, which I am sort-of boycotting but for which I reserve the ability to stop this boycott whenever I feel like it.
