I wonder now many Costco members are truly content with Costco promoting Sarah Palin's book signings. It seems that Costco management is "Going Rogue" as well, without ever having given other authors book signing opportunities in their chain stores.
Costco is a membership retail outlet. But what common scense voice do the members have when Costco management decides to start to politize its corporate relationships with a right wing Republican, moreover, a former govenor and vice president candidate (who undermined her colleague for personal gain) that published a book written by a ghost writer and is solely motivated by capitalist fundraising for a 2012 presidential campaign wit no regard in representing the democratic constitution given your less-than-steller ability to prove otherwise in having knowledge of a democratic process. RE: Her publicized question during the 2008 presidential campaign of not knowing what the vice president really does.
There is no substance or worth to this decision by Costco except to take political sides, and it proves as a result in hindsight Costco management's own paranoia of membership retaliation in having done so by removing the tomatoes off the store's shelves during a Palin's book signing in a store.
They might consider removing the eggs next.
Personally, like the time Costco promoted the Swift Boater's book that as a infamous and unsubstantiated prejudice tirade against presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004 and said to me it represented a fair doctrine issue of presenting both sides of the political spectrum when I complained Costco management could care less about its membership's reactions. If it's good for making money especially off of Sarah Palin, then it's good for Costco's bottomline, disregarding the political prejudice it elucidates in Costco's isles.
Costco needs to hear from its members who are in disagreement - and put Costco's management in the political cross fire of which Palin purposely incites for name recognition only for it's completely off the page of membership when it comes to its inequatable promotion of certain political celebrities (who are clearly planning on building their popularity not by democratic prinicple but by show business hype) needs to held accountable to bring in political celebrities, say Bill Clinton, for book signings. Otherwise it's prejudice and discrimination that is against the 14th Amendment.
