Wal-Mart was a different company when Sam Walton was still around

Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 08:33 PM by billbuckhead

Wal-Mart was a different company when Sam Walton was still around and most of the stuff was made in America.

Then again, Hillary was fighting Watergate when Obama doing what?

15. Edwards gave a plug to Costco, when sighting GOOD corporations...

Costco is a great employer .. providing good wages and health care for their employees.
Wal-Mart hires mostly part-time, so that they avoid providing benefits.

19. If they are Republicans.

Last year, a survey was cited on NPR that says 70% of Walmart shoppers are Republicans.

I'll see if I can find it.

7. Obama has his own WalMart problem

Michelle Obama resigned her position as a director of Treehouse Foods today, ending the relationship with the Wal-Mart supplier that had threatened to become a problem for her husband, Barack Obama, in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president.

Treehouse supplies pickles and other specialty foods to Wal-Mart, a frequent target of union leaders who say the company treats its workers unfairly.

Michelle Obama cited increased demands on her time for resigning the position, which she had held since the summer of 2005.

16. Now is the time we've all been waiting for ... Edwards is our guy. nt

Between his stellar showing in SC debate and MLKIII's letter, it may well be a whole new game come super Tues.,
with John Edwards squarely IN the race for the long haul.

18. I believe, LSK, that there will be an awakening.

That's why I'm not stopping.

17. Back when Sam was alive, Walmart was a completely different company

They used to take pride in only selling American products.

But then, like the rest of the Reagan years, you had to have been there.

22. "Like the rest of the Reagan years,

you had to have been there." That's the truth.

21. You've got to be kidding. Next you're going to tell us that Obama said

something nice about Reagan. :)

We'll likely see some defense of WalMart here now, that we rarely see at other times.

24. When Hillary was on the board of wal-mart she fought for women and higher pay.

She was influential on Sam Walton, in those days and times, as he has stated.

Those that attempted use this as a negative against her merely prove they do not know what they are talking about.
