			<description><![CDATA[It's generally bad for business to have any political, or religious signs or literature hanging around. I once walked into a local electronics shop, saw a bunch of N.R.A. posters hanging up, and then walked back out the door and took my business elsewhere. Likewise, I'm sure an A.C.L.U. or P.E.T.A. poster might offend those on the other political spectrum.
When I was living in Florida, there was a large protest against Macy's bought out the local department store - Burdine's and removed the annual nativity scene from the store. Given that South Florida has a large Jewish population among other religions - I personally thought that was a smart move on their part.
No matter what the party, candidate, issue, or religion is ... it's best kept out of the retail environment. When your goal is to make sales revenue, why risk driving away your customers?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One side or the other always seems to be claiming that getting more people out to vote will help them more than the other side. I think it is pretty break-even. Lower income folks lean democrat, but religious and rural/small town folks (where wal-mart is often the only choice they have) lean republican so it is a wash if more wal-mart customers vote.]]></description>
