Boycotting these companies sounds nice in theory.

Thanks to the union contract at my husbands place of employment we must use MEDCO for our prescriptions or pay full price at any other pharmacy. 

I am not happy with First Energy for many other reasons, but I am not yet ready to give up my electricity.

A great many of these companies employ people allowing them to have a middle class livestyle.

Wouldn't boycotting them also hurt the middle class?

Boycotts are a waste of time.  Why not try to win people over to your side through persuasion and a superior argument?  You can't do that with boycotts and name calling on Internet forums though.

I purchased a complete set of Cooper tires last year because the tires were American made and were also probably made in Findley, Ohio.

You are guys are ridiculous. Give this guy a damn chance to govern our state for God's sake! 3 month and all you do is bash the guy.

Sure some of the stuff may be unpopular now, but did it ever dwell on you that maybe this stuff may actually work to get this state's dismal economy back on track?

I'm going to buy some Cooper tires too, since they donated to Kasich, thanks Dennis for revealing this to us.

ytowner, its an interesting double standard.   When it comes to Obama, they make every excuse even after two years saying that he's still dealing with all the problems Bush left him, and thats why he can't get much done.  But for Kasich, after three months he is harshly judged because he hasn't accomplished everything he has set out to do yet.
