Et tu, Walmart?

May. 31, 2012 6:06pm Meredith Jessup

Walmart’s decision to pull its support from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is really distressing to me.

It’s organizations like ALEC and other conservative groups who defend Walmart’s right to expand their business in places like Washington, DC while liberals — including Color of Change & its affiliates — picket and protest and try to drive you out of town.

It’s conservatives who ardently defend Walmart workers’ Right to Work.

It’s conservative groups like ALEC who have always stood for your right to decide the the best benefit policies for your workforce. Or how about ALEC’s work in advancing positive tax, transportation, trade and labor policies?

You didn’t seem to mind ALEC’s outspoken opposition to President Obama’s encroaching health care law when it suited you, and this is how you repay them?

Apparently the demands of radical leftists are more important than standing up for what you believe in and standing with those who share your beliefs. Shame on you.

Political divides aside, I never thought that a company with such expansive aspirations could be bullied into being so narrow-minded.

Isn’t it ironic, that the leftists demanding wal-mart not support alec are the same ones who for decades have demanded no wal-marts in my neighborhood- because wal-mart was “anti” union? Curiously, I dare say more union folk shop at wal-mart than non-union, and quite frankly ever since they got into bed with the mrs. O after the election in ’08, I have shopped very little there anyway. Good luck with this strategy wally world. hah.

Why is this in some obscure blog post and not an actual story? A bear gets a story. Mildew gets a story. But this is just a quick little blurb. Seriously? This is something we could and should take action on.

Walmart mismanagement has no values beyond the next quarter.

Walmart will soon be going the way of K-Mart. That’s my prediction.

Been shopping less and less at Wally’s World of late anyway. Just another excuse to pay a little extra to shop elsewhere (and more then often pay less). This issue is minor to their croany tactics and abysmal foriegn policy/slave labor issues. Mr. Sam Walton would be turning in his grave if he could know what these yahoos are doing to his namesake’s stores. :)
