Tea Bag "Buycott": Where's GoDaddy?

Arizona Pro-SB1070 rally-goers support local businesses against national boycotts. The love doesn't seem to be mutual.

As BADLY as I want to take pleasure in this, the logic here is flawed. Just because there is no evidence of company support here does not mean there ISN'T any support. Companies will, most likely, want to remain neutral because taking sides can effect sales. But that doesn't mean that the SB 1070 supporters lack company support. I've been to several anti- SB1070 rallies, and there aren't many business supporters there either, probably for the same reason.

@balvarez01 It wasn't a question of logic or equivalents. Anti-SB1070 rallies have never claimed to be supporting or promoting Arizona businesses. The Buycott people posted a list of businesses they are encouraging people to support and ostensibly held an event in honor of that. The event itself was nothing but a GOP campaign rally and should have billed itself as such.

C SPAN "Black Republican Forum" Session 2 (begin at 11:30) Allen West stated part of Amnesty of 1986 was to secure our borders and enforcement our laws, but haven't happened. (We're still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act.) We can't allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don't recognize US borders established Treaty of Guadalupe)

In November 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8% with 15.1 million unemployed. (15.1 million/9.8%) = 154 million are able to work in the workforce. 11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs. The unemployment rate could be reduced to 2.1% {{15.1-11.9)/154}

@MaricoDemo Oh I totally agree that this is all it was tantamount to. And the Tea Baggers are a bunch of hypocrites that taut small government but then support a law like this that, is essentially, a potential despotic manner of dealings with illegal immigration. I just wanted to point out that you cannot draw the inference that lack of business visibility at the event equated to lack of business support.
