Boycotting Bud Light - Well, since the only people who drink that are the same ones who are boycotting it, no loss there.
Boycotting Target - Yeah, I can tell they are really suffering. The idea that these bohunks could ever stop shopping at Target or stop drinking their favorite swill is laughable. They may have stopped doing it in public, but one need only to check that 'secret' cooler that everyone thought was trash under the counter in the garage.
These city council persons are voting for their citizenry, not their wallets. I know this is alien to a rethug, but see, elected officials are elected to serve the public trust, not to become a sideshow that turns our democracy into a clown parade of increasingly outrageous hucksters who are more interested in their own dick size than being the servant they were elected to be.
(Lastly, well... I am sorry, but 17,000 is not a 'small town'. Not when mine was 493 at my birth, and the town next to us was 148. One had to drive thirty minutes to find anything over 3000 souls. Which we considered a 'big town'. But, when your reporters are all in New York or Los Angeles, they marvel at any population under 300,000 as some kind of 'backwater'...)
