Parents Staying Clear of the Toy Aisle This Year

funny the same toys are sold at all the other retailers as well.yet no one says a dam thing about that.

its stupid to boycott walmart because the other retailers sell the samer dam toys

What do you mean?  Don’t you watch the news?  And even this article states stores like Walmart.  So that would include Target, K-Mart and Toys’R’Us for instance.  So yes, everyone is saying a DAMN (correct sp) thing about the others.

I for one am not buying my nephews anything manufactured in China no matter what store it comes from.

i work a lot.i dont have time for the news which is always liberal and one sided and rarely is truthful and honest about anything.

You do realize most of the media is owned by conservatives, don’t you?  On radio and television more air time is devoted to conservative news programs than progressives.  And in newspapers across the country more editorials are written by conservatives.  My husband used to write for a small town newspaper in Oregon and it just so happens his editorials got complaints from both Republicans and Democrats.

This whole liberal biased media is such a crock.  You have to be a subscriber to SIRIUS to find most left talk radio.  Way much more conservative biased news out there and they even have their own news network FAUX NEWS.  You would love going to my gym as that is the only choice you have while using the cardio machines.

look at cnn corgi it is very liberal compared to fox news.if you dont believe me on liberalism go read the editorials and articles in the oregonian and tell me they are not slanted toward democrats?what liberal talk do you want corgi?more taxes and fees to go to the govt and schools who are always handing out raises and a bloated amount of money to the govt classes bloated retirement accts.at the same time the public is told how broke they are and the end of civilization is coming if you dont give us more money.

“more taxes and fees to go to the govt and schools who are always handing out raises and a bloated amount of money to the govt classes bloated retirement accts.at the same time the public is told how broke they are and the end of civilization is coming if you dont give us more money.”
vantress the liar imbecile avoiding the corporate subsidies for WalMart again.

vantress-

Wanted to thank you personally for being the Oregon taxpayer sucker of the year 2007-

Oregon
2005 - Total # of Wal-Mart Employees in State: 11,035
2005 - Estimated # of Wal-Mart Workers on Medicaid: 1,457
2005 - Estimated # of Wal-Mart Dependents on State Health Programs: 889
2005 - 2005 - Estimated Total Cost; Federal & State:$8,037,702

For all the years before and since, we want to thank vantress for willingly subsidizing WalMart at the corporate hog trough of public largess.

Thanks vantress for being the WalMart meat popsicle choirboy with the ‘dead conscience’ sucker you are! Kudos from Bentonville and the multi-billionaire Waltons.

Perhaps a candlelight vigil at 182nd and Powell with ghost dancing by yourself will make you feel better.

you are an imbecile and a moron sdv.what did i say that was untrue?the govt lying to the public?it happens all the time.the govt class getting raises and bloated pers money at the same time they tell you how broke they are?its true sdv whether you like it or not.

More nonsense from SDV, the ‘cut and paste’ king!!

BTW, SDV: What happened to Costco stock, down $3.62 a share at the moment?

mv: Just out of sheer curiosity ,is there ANY source of info ANYWHERE on ANY subject that you DO trust??

“What happened to Costco stock...?” ~RDS

What was that you were trying to tell us about SPIN not long ago, RDS?

It’s called selective perception.  You conveniently left off the part about Costco’s quarterly profits being up 11%

In case it escaped you totally, the whole stock market was down in the past few days following the Fed’s less than spectacular announcement of interest rate cuts. The recent turmoil in the stock market is directly attributable to the sub-prime mortgage fallout.  Morgan Stanley called for a “mild recession” yesterday. 

Care to try again?

Screwedby,

Oh, I see, it’s perfectly okay to point out when Wal-Mart stock isn’t rallying, but bad to point out when the touted Costco is down, right?  If Wal-Mart stock is down, it’s Wal-Mart’s poor business model that’s at fault, but, if Costco stock is down it is just a market downturn, right?  Costco stock was down, because it FAILED to beat estimates!!

“Costco stock was down, because it FAILED to beat estimates!” ~RDS

Hmm… not so according to the AP story on Moneycentral at msn.com

“profit rose 11 percent as sales and membership fees both grew.

The results were in line with Wall Street expectations...”

Who are we to believe?

“And in newspapers across the country more editorials are written by conservatives.... Way much more conservative biased news out there”

What bizarro world do you live in to believe that????

“On radio and television more air time is devoted to conservative news programs than progressives.”

Did you ever stop to think maybe there are more consertive new programs in the media because they make money unlike the Liberal (oops I mean progressive) crowd who has yet to figure out how to make a dime.  Just ask Al Franken and Air America how well they have succeeded in finding listeners to pay the bills.

Ken V in Texas: Would you be generous enough to link up some of the Ken Tomlinson vs. Bill Moyers PBS favoritism- this was not” pay for view”,but Public programming being hijacked by a Conservative Bush appointed head of PBS-- who did everything he could to discredit Bill Moyers? Guess what? It didn’t work-you can go to PBS or BillMoyers on Google-

Matthew, I have three names for you when it comes to CNN....Lou Dobbs, Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck.  You would have to be off your rocker to think these are liberal biased shows.  But Dobbs is kinda fun to watch and has even appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher.  My husband refers to his show as the “Angry White Man Hour”.

And the newspapers in Oregon are fairly even when it comes to op-ed pieces written by conservative vs. progressives.  This is an interesting site for anyone who wants to view the stats for your state.

Corgi mom : With all due respect to your husband, IMHO,its not only the angry white population - its angry people-irrespective of gender, poltical affiliation, country of origin....etc. Perhaps someone could explain,rationally to me, why Vincente Fox can go on Larry King and coolly expound as to why an Amero union is imminent and desirable,including the importance of a Nafta corridor, and its eminence-NOT its possibility- yet the MSM has disavowed this reality.. With all due respect to those who have taken pot shots at Ron Paul, he has been the only candidate to adress this issue head on-whether you. I, or anyone else agree or not. I personally have not decided my leanings re: the upcoming presidential candidates-but the proliferation of pundit hyenas,howling at the packs,certainly give pause.

ddrb, I have never voted Republican and never will.  But when it comes to the GOP candidates I would definitely say that Ron Paul is the only one worth a crap.  He has brought up some good points in the debates and like his stance on the war.

I have never voted Republican and never will.

In Texas we’re known as Yellow Dog Democrats; rather vote for a yellow dog than a Republican.

As for Dobbs, he’s ok, if for no other reason than he is anti Wal-Mart.

dd, there’s no sense linking to Moyers, this argument is going nowhere.

corgi the oregonian is very liberal in all of their editorials.they always support every tax increase or levy that is ever proposed.lou dobbs is very informed and very good on the illegal immigration issue and unlike most liberals can answer and dont run and hide and try to change the subject when you ask them an honest question.oregon needs more republicans especially in portland.most voters in oregon are very stupid and are not smart enough to see through all the lies and garbage the govt and schools always tell.conservatives are very business friendly compared to all the anti business liberals in the portland area.the portland tribune is not as liberal as the oregonian and i wish it would go every day unlike twice a week.go on there and read my comments on local daily news.com and tell me what you think.

All This Political Speculation is Going Nowhere!

The bottom line is this:  If ANY candidate that is currently running for president was serious about changing the direction of this country, doing away with “business as usual” in Washington, and “had any balls” he or she (sorry Hillary...you’ll have to borrow Bill’s balls.  Nah...on second thought...) would run as an independent candidate, and not as a “Republican” or a “Democrat.”

Until there is a viable 3rd Party in this country and until the American electorate gets totally fed up with the gridlock in Washington, they might as well bring their quarters to the voting booth and label one side with an “R” and the other with a “D.” Good luck and may the best coin flippers win!

Screwedby,

“The results were in line with Wall Street expectations...”

Do you not understand the difference between “FAILED to beat estimates” and “were in line with estimates”?

“Until there is a viable 3rd Party in this country”

Will never happen, the deck is stacked against them, by the other 2 parties rules!!  And, you have too many people who vote “The Party”, instead of the candidate!!

How come Liberals are now calling themselves Progressives?  Is it to try to FOOL people into believing that they are now different than they were, ‘The Party of Tax and Spend’?

RDS in : I wish you would read the last paragraph of the above post,out loud to yopurself,in front of a mirror.If ANYBODY could and should identify with changing their names ,in order to fool others,who better and more appropriately equipped than the Karma Chameleon himself?RDS, a.k.a.-Donald,Bob,Tommy,Robert,......etc.

‘The Party of Tax and Spend’?

Meanwhile Republicans turned out to be The Party of Spend Without Taxing.

You don’t mind mortgaging the future as long as you get yours now, huh, RDS?

The only good thing coming out of the Republican’s reign is economist can now look at their theories from the perspective of a weak dollar. It changes everything.

liberals and demos the party of tax,fee,spend and regulate more and we hate businesses.

From a nice Federal Government surplus to huge deficits under Bush and the Republicans Matthew! We know that you can’t back up your lie so we must conclude that you are either stupid or paranoid. Aren’t you glad there are regulations to control business? Can you name a Democrat that hates business or are you just full of shit?

Richard in MSU: I’m not ordinarily one to wager on something,but I believe it to be a sure and safe bet on the latter portion of your question!

Richard,

“From a nice Federal Government surplus to huge deficits under Bush and the Republicans”

That’s easy to say, if you want to disregard FACTS.  It is easy to create a surplus, when you RAISE taxes, close down military bases and reduce military budgets and have NO major Wars or Hurricanes to contend with.  Get rid of the facts that Bush had to rebuild the military, pay for 2 wars, and pay for the destruction of 2 MAJOR hurricanes, and you may find that we might still have a surplus.

I have a hard time understanding why people seem to be content with constantly paying higher taxes, knowing how governments WASTE so much of the money collected, to the point where they will argue in favor of higher taxes. Guess, that is why they think that, instead of living on a budget, it is better to ask for higher pay and benefits, the way the government does.

...Bush had to...

No he didn’t.

Ken,

You’re right, he didn’t have to, he could have spent his time in the Oval Office getting head from an intern.

Besides doesn’t the Congress have any role in all of this BUDGET stuff, I thought they were the ones that held the “purse strings” and okayed the presidents budgets?

richard look at oregon and all the loss of jobs in this state because of high tax,fee,regulate and spend more policies especially in portland.all by democrat leadership

...getting head from an intern.

The fact you would equate getting head with making war shows you probably have little experience in either.

One guy even sent me his script for “George W. Bush: The Musical.” (Georgie sings to Big Daddy: “Any war you can start, I can make bigger; I can make any war bigger than you.") ~ Maureen Dowd

Don’t Try to Reason With “Tommy,” Ken!

“...getting head

“Tommy” thinks this has something to do with being the winner in a game of Mr. Potato.

“giving a blow job”

Tommy thinks this is what he does to cool off his soup.

I’ve now come over to your side Ken.  I believe you ARE correct in your theory that “Tommy” is none other than the ressurection of Nick.  Nick has the edge over RDS when it comes to being rude, tasteless, arrogant, or offensive.

...who better and more appropriately equipped than the Karma Chameleon himself?RDS, a.k.a.-Donald,Bob,Tommy,Robert,......etc.

Gee, ‘dd, I thought his true name had Donald/Bob/Robert in it. 

Something I missed?

As for Tommy, now that Mr. Screwed has made his “educated guess” as to who Tommy may be, I am sure you’ll agree with him...like always…

Nick has the edge over RDS when it comes to being rude, tasteless, arrogant, or offensive.

And you don’t, Mr. Screwed?

(I saw the “f-bomb” you posted over the weekend.  If that’s not tasteless, I don’t know what is...)

What’s That?  A Chip on the Shoulder, bbrd?

Got a bit of a chip on your shoulder, bbrd?  Seems like you’ve got an axe to grind too now that I opened your cage and let you out!  You didn’t like being confused with nasty ‘ol RDS did you?  Who could blame you there?

Mr. Screwed,

Is this the part where you’re supposed to insult me thinking I will tuck my tail and go away?

I’ve skimmed the archives - so far, everything you’ve done since I showed-up has been pretty easy to guess.

Other than that, I have no axes to grind with anyone here, as in my book, guys like you are pretty much nothing but big zeroes......desperately trying to fit in a world full of “somebodies”.

You know, kind of like high school......

Who’s the REAL “zero?”

Wasn’t it you or “Tommy” or RDS who recently said, “It takes one to know one?

The way I see it, anyone who is still referencing high school is pretty much a zero by definition.

mr screwed where is your answer on www.supermarketswindle.com?

...as in my book...

Pssst! Screwed! We’re supposed to ask him: What book?

bbrd is an author.
