closed on Sundays, have contributed to Far Right causes, blah blah. I wouldn't eat there if I was starving and there wasn't any other place for 50 miles in any direction. There's been a lot of publicity about them in the last year or two, and fundies have lined up 'in support' of their beloved (gag me) Chik-Fil-A's to buy their crap.

I mean, seriously...
Going back to try to vote, over and over again is the Chik-Fil-A effect. Same group of people, getting fat by going there over and over again.

I guess that is why some Republican operatives have gotten arrested for trying to vote more than once.
