Let’s say my company wins the bid for a contact. Yay! But now one of my competitors checks and I haven’t donated to the NRA and files suit saying I’m ineligible because I refuse to donate to them on a political basis. Now that’s bullshit, but I have to pay a lawyer anyway to go to court and help me explain that it’s bullshit.

In order to forestall that lawsuit, it’s a lot cheaper to just give $50 or whatever to some right wing bullshit charities. It’s only pocket change but I have to pay it to causes I don’t support as a sort of insurance. Yet I can’t turn around and file sit over someone who doesn’t donate to planned parenthood. That’s a hell of a double standard.
