Yeah, I get that's where his money comes from and I'm not saying that you shouldn't boycott any of them. Mostly I'm just thinking out loud and trying to figure out why it irks me so much that this has blown up the way it has. I'm also not trying to argue with you, or be obnoxious, so I hope it's not coming across that way.
As I think about it, for me, it probably comes down to the fact that I'm at a point where I have to separate the business from the politics to a certain extent. I don't have the luxury of picking and choosing anymore and many of my clients are people whose politics is completely opposite of mine. My last paycheck came directly from the pockets of someone who supports many of the conservative causes that I oppose.
So while I get it on the corporate level, on a personal level, I have to hope that there are people who can see the difference between the person and the company or I'm just screwed!
