Yup, Politics makes strange bedfellows. Ruppert Murdoch, Scakle and the Waltons were her biggest contributors

Walmart is extremely depressing and I only go if I'm in a pinch for time.

If you want to see depressing, go to a casino when the social security and welfare checks come in. I've only gone to a casino once. It happened to be a day when a bus load of elderly arrive to blow their checks sitting mindlessly before the video slot machines.

I'm not really a Wal-Mart hater, but not all Wal-Marts are created equal. Some are pretty clean and nice with reasonably decent human beings inside, while others aren't. I do find Targets to me much better kept across the board and tend to shop at them if I have the option.

You people just don't get it. Every time you shop there you are undermining our economy. If it was a choice between WALMART or doing without, I'll do without

That's a stretch. Imagine if, suddenly, no one shopped at Walmart. Suppose all of their stores went out of business tomorrow. Do you not think that would be bad for the American economy?

There are two basic reasons to support Walmart:

Walmart is non-union.

I just love to **** off the liberal elistists.

While it's true that Wal-Mart provides a service to low income people who need to save every penny, it is hard to help such people care about the true cost of those low prices with regard to government subsidies, urban sprawl, devastation of local economies, global environmental impacts, and low wages.

One who can barely take care of herself is in no position to be concerned with land development patterns or employees dependent upon government welfare to survive.
