Unless, you know, the corporations and the Christian Right are in agreement.
From Newsmax (Sorry everyone).
"Pepsi-Cola’s ad campaign pivoting on the idea that Barack Obama will refresh the nation might tempt some Republicans to agree that things go better with Coke.
Pepsi’s ad thrust, including a redesigned corporate emblem reminiscent of an Obama campaign logo, seems tantamount to an endorsement of the president-elect. It focuses largely on Obama’s mantra of promoting change.
Ironically, change is exactly what the American Family Association (AFA) is demanding from Pepsi, through the conservative group’s boycott because of the company’s donations to gay rights issues.
“Help us refresh America,” the video option says. “You can sing, dance, tell a joke — whatever reflects your hope and optimism for the future . . . The best and most popular videos will be featured on this site.”
The pitch isn’t popular with the AFA, which has its own message for the food conglomerate: “Pepsi should remember to remain neutral in cultural wars and quit making million-dollar donations to groups that support the homosexual agenda,” the AFA’s Tim Wildmon tells Newsmax. "

AFA stands for Anti-Family Association, doesn't it?
