He might not be in charge of his marketing, but if you're opposed to a company, don't you think you would tell your publisher "I don't want my book to be sold there"?

I know why, is called politics stupid (pun, not you personally). They know that the average American doesn't know a wink about economics and sieges on that to scare you into thinking they will solve all your problems and all will be right with the world if only you elect them. Do some research, the same things said about Walmart were said about Kmart, sears, Montgomery ward, so on and so forth. My personal advice is if you don't like walmart don't shop there. Simple.

it is not basic to tell suitable now yet out of all Republicans, Mitt Romney would be the dazzling decide directly to run in opposition to Obama. The replace between Bush and Obama is that Bush in basic terms had an regular first term, he began screwing up in his 2d term and the adaptation between Mitt Romney and John Kerry is that John Kerry turn flopped too much on way too many issues which fee him the election. it particularly is tough to tell now yet to me it type of feels that Obama won because of the actuality that of the race element going for him, those motives extra constructive be reward in 2012 as stable.

I think it's because WalMart pays it's employees so poorly,
that some of their stores actually have a welfare office set
up inside them.
I've heard their benefits package sucks, unless you're way
up on their ladder.
The $4. prescription thing is great, but I've noticed prices have
gone up on other items. I have no idea of how these two
things are related or if they are.

He's not in charge of his book's marketing.
Wouldn't a better question be why is Walmart carrying it if he doesn't like their organization?
You do realize, don't you, that once you sign a deal, unless you have something in writing, a book becomes the property of the publisher and they can market, stop pressing, or edit it as they see fit?
No, I guess you didn't.

he's asking them to "put families first"... that's it...
not so sure that's "against Wal-Mart"... that's a bit of a leap on your part...
and... I doubt he markets his own books...
EDIT: why is it that when anyone says anything for or against something... CONSERVATIVES ALWAYS take that to mean they FULLY SUPPORT OR HATE the institution in question that is being commented on...
do you love the fact that Wal-Mart buys a great deal of it's products overseas? if you don't, according to your logic, you too hate Wal-Mart...
you said you had a college degree in your last question.. .it's time to start acting like it...

it's called double dipping I think or is that double dribling or just dribling or drooling now I'm all mixed up. I hope Hilary asks him that when and if they have a debate. Then he could ask her if her hubby was the village idiot in her book. Should be fun to watch.

As a money grubbing libtard, he will take cash from anywhere, as a vote grabbing libtard, he will pretend to be anything.

Let me get this straight, you think he's against them just because he wants them to think of families first? Stop trying to make something out of nothing.
