As a company that has provided partner benefits, the double-speak of their CEO tells me that it's better for his bottom-line if he doesn't have to extend benefits to certain workers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142776492817022036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634764039639011700.post-89495320966407834902010-08-09T16:51:12.919-07:002010-08-09T16:51:12.919-07:00I just hope that Target takes this as a "less...I just hope that Target takes this as a "lesson learned", and realizes they need to RESEARCH their donations better before giving randomly to politicians, causes, organizations, etc.Target Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579982572388150784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634764039639011700.post-39716744312717731522010-08-08T22:07:02.186-07:002010-08-08T22:07:02.186-07:00I do not deny anyone the right to believe whatever...I do not deny anyone the right to believe whatever they want to. But I refuse to spend my money at a business that then takes that money/profit and spends on politics that deny me rights.

Tom Emmer opposes abortion rights for women, so it is just total hypocrisy on Target's part to support a candidate that wants to get rid of women's right to abortions and still expect them to shop in their stores. That just shows Target's total contempt for their customers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634764039639011700.post-27887609665999190532010-08-06T18:58:23.447-07:002010-08-06T18:58:23.447-07:00Thank you!

Although I laud the apology by Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel the story continues to unfold in a surprising way:<br /><br />http://www.theawl.com/2010/08/real-america-target-doesnt-support-gay-equality-because-it-never-did<br /><br />The reason so many are continuing to call for a boycott is because it is felt Steinhafel should make a equal corporate donation to another pro business and pro equality politician, or group tp offset the damage dome.Critifurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141579638692458603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634764039639011700.post-70571364596225899842010-08-06T16:09:02.379-07:002010-08-06T16:09:02.379-07:00Wow - an apology that's actually an apology? ...Wow - an apology that's actually an apology? If for nothing else, Target and this man should be lauded.
