Politics and business do not mix.

I have found out the hard way that being political and in business can lead to a lower bottom line.

I ran for a local post 2 years ago and no matter what you do your going to piss off 30- 50 percent of the people maybe more. I have paid for my mistake for two years.

We are not even putting up signs this year. It is just to dangerous and we cannot afford to lose one customer in this economy.

I would not let any candidate stump at my business, it just makes half of your customers mad.
