Move Your Money: A New Year's Resolution

“Does no one think it hypocritical that there is a Band Of America ad directly underneath the headline of the Huffingtonpost?”

waverly replied on Dec 31, 2009 at 11:12:58

“Others have mentioned the same thing. Think it through … We gave our money to the Bank of America who use a portion of it to pay HuffPo to suggest to us to stop giving Bank of America our money. I actually find some humor in that.”

MidwestMomma replied on Dec 31, 2009 at 11:12:26

“Not hypocritical...brilliant! Me thinks they will be pulling those ads soon.....so we need to get our community banks and credit unions to pick up the slack... so we can continue to be inspired here, together to actually DO the simple things that make a difference.”

“I think it's brilliant - Bank of America is paying Huffington Post a huge amount of money to advertise, and Huffington Post is telling everyone to move their money out of B of A.

Happy New Year!”

“Yup. There have been many instances such as that but it's more a matter of pointclick, googleads, and others offering ads relative to the topic at hand. There's oftentimes little choice by the site and in fact, much of it is driven by the users themselves.

This is an ad driven site. It matters not where the money comes from . . . even for stories that vilify those whose ad shows up.

Hypocritical? Heh, I can think of a number of terms that are more exacting.”

“I guess I'm having a hard time believing that Italians are being discriminating against by the Ivy League schools, especially if it is based off their last names. It just seems ridiculous to even suggest it.”

“I guess you just reinforced my point. If Italians fill in the circle marked "white", then how is it possible that the Ivy League schools are discriminating against them?”

“Maybe by their last names, they usually ask that on applications for college, if you've ever seen one...!”

“OMG, the GOP is actually forcing a senator to show up for a vote! Does no one else think that it is his responsibility, regardless of age and health to show up and do his job. If he can't do it, then he needs to step aside.”

Never-The-Less replied on Dec 22, 2009 at 13:19:03

“What does this say about our government, that a man in his 90's and who is in no condition to govern is stil in office. Is this the best America can do, what a feaking joke. Of course the senate in general is a joke, its a millionair's club filled with self interested theocrats and idiologs.

For all those who hate the republican "obstructions" who say if it were not for them a better bill would have come out of this, please, wake up! Dems use the republicans as scapegoats, Do you wonder why Reid lets such stringent rules that allow a few power of the many, because he does not really want reform. They are all corrupt, is Tom Daschle working in a soup kitchen for the poor, no, he is a lobbyist for Healthcare industry. The dems and republicans have the same goals, just the republicans are honest about it.”

“There are atleast 5 bookstores (granted 1 is XXX and off the highway) that I can think of off the top of my head between Dallas and Waco (I35E, who knows how many on I35W). You actually need to leave the interstate. If you aren't willing to drive through those little towns on the highway then you probably won't find anything but restaurants between Dallas and Waco.”

SaltySaltillo replied on Dec 21, 2009 at 15:21:36

“gdogs - you are saying the same thing. Texas cities are islands of ethnic diversity compared to rural Texas. The white suburbs around the cities (places like The Woodlands and Sugarland) vote Republican as well. But gerrymandering is the real reason Republicans have managed to keep control of state politics for so long.”

SaltySaltillo replied on Dec 21, 2009 at 15:18:14

“I am more educated than you, and I vote Democratic. Most of the people I know who vote Republican tend to be "country folk", bigots, or religious zealots. Only rural predominantly white counties and predominantly white suburbs vote Republican. All Texas cities vote Democratic and the entire Rio Grande valley from El Paso to the ocean vote Democratic. Obama got 44% of the vote in Nov. 2008. The Republicans have a stranglehold on state politics because of gerrymandering.”
