Cool. A corporation that has some balls to do what is right rather than just chasing profits. Though I'm sure it won't be hard for them to find another supplier...or for Venz. to find other places to sell their oil.

7-11 has wanted to explore cheaper gas options for awhile now and pretty much using this as a way to stir up publicity and hopefully win support with the public by claiming Chavez's statements were the reason they chose to walk away from their partnership.

CNN said that 7-11 had planned to drop Citgo before the comments, and that their spokespeople said the comments had nothing to do with it.

Well, yes, your link does say that, but your headline of "Chavez's anti-Bush comments prompted move to drop Venezuelan supplier" doesn't.

Jeez don't get so butthurt
