Boycotting the Boatyard

I have never understood why businesses would publicly support a candidate.  Why alienate part of your clientele?  It seems to me as a business, you have three choices.  One is to not put up a sign for either candidate (for example, Diggity Dog in Lehighton).  One is to put out signs for both candidates (for example, Central Lunch in Weissport).  

The third choice is to put out a sign for a candidate and irritate the opponents of that candidate.  The Red Castle in Lehighton, the restaurant in Little Gap, and the biker bar known as “the Boatyard” in Weissport all had signs supporting Heffley.  


I have been in all three establishments, but I can tell you I won’t patronize any of them in the future.
