Politics - 21 June 2006

Why is it that according to liberals you're argument is automatically wrong if you're a religious person and invoke teachings from Scripture in your argument, but it's perfectly fine when they quote from their gods ... Al Franken, the Dixie Chicks, Nancy Pelosi, and Ted Kennedy?

Also, isn't it just a smidge hypocritical when liberals themselves invoke the name of Jesus when they say "Jesus F-ing Christ" all the time or when they pull out a Bible to urinate on it?

Today the Republicans blocked a vote to raise minimum wage to 7.25 an hour. The minimum wage has not been rised since 1997.
www.msnbc.com
WASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled Senate smothered a proposed election-year increase in the minimum wage Wednesday, rejecting Democratic claims that it was past time to boost the $5.15 hourly pay floor that has been in effect for nearly a decade.

The 52-46 vote was eight short of the 60 needed for approval and came one day after House Republican leaders made clear they do not intend to allow a vote on the issue, fearing it might pass.

The Senate vote marked the ninth time since 1997 that Democrats there have proposed _ and Republicans have blocked _ a stand-alone increase in the minimum wage. The debate fell along predictable lines.

he uses photo opps and political gatherings to position blacks at the entrance and when the speach begins and the cameras pan the room all the colorfull people are absent somehow.
do not think for one minute george is a man who beleives in equality of the races he is a skilled manipulator and is politicaly empowered to reflect a certain look that sends america a messege.
you can not tell me a few people of color are really helping represent there fellow americans and people they are portreyed to represent.THEY serve the government and george is a racist.plain as the nose on your face watch him closely and you will see his posture around minoritys it is not one of acceptance more one of repulsion .

"LIBS pay more in taxes that you ever will. We are professionals with multiple degrees and with money up the wahoo to travel and do as we wish with it. We also give to charity to give other people hope to live."

Does ANYBODY read that incomplete thought and see a person with money "up the wahoo" writing it, or do you see a pathetic soul out of his cell for an hour at the nut house getting his afternoon free time hoping like hell that the warden doesn't catch him posting stuff on Yahoo! again?

"... do as we wish with it." is my new favorite saying. Totally something that a person who flunked out of fifth grade and then read Hooked On Phonics and has "Word of the Day" toilet paper would write. So goddamn funny.

Depends on how you look at it I guess, but Rasmussen daily is reporting:

20% - Strongly Approve
22% - Somewhat Approve
16% - Somewhat Disapprove

Which equals 58%, and

40% - Strongly Disapprove

This caught my attention because if I had been polled I, even as a loyal conservative Republican, would have answered "Somewhat Disapprove" even though my feelings on the Bush Presidency won't change my vote from Republican in the next election. Things like allowing Congress to overspend, the Dubai Ports deal, border security, etc, would make me say "Somewhat Disapprove".

If you consider the possibility that conservatives are honest and would have answered as I did, instead of being blindly loyal to idiots like Nancy Pelosi, it's just possible that the recent news reports are correct and that Republicans will actually pick up more seats in November.

Crazy world.

List your reasons, and suggest what they need to improve on. Also, if you do vote for them, why do you trust them over the other parties?

The (unknown to them) poverty they have caused is starting to
have serious consequences on America's emergency rooms.
And yet, they sit there, worried about issues that will have no
consequence, whats-so-ever.
Did anyone see "Frontline" or "Anderson Cooper" last night?
They were unbiased and addressed some of our Real problems,
for the rich man's consideration.

If not, they should be. The American people by a great majority support finishing the job in Iraq properly while liberal Democrats are already campaigning on their cut and run strategery.

Also, isn't it odd that liberal Democrats are running for Congressional offices as though they're running against President Bush. NEWSFLASH: Bush isn't running again. Democrats will do fine in this election, liberal Democrats are about to get their clocks cleaned once again. I can't wait.

Iraq will never work if they can't create a system of reasonable security. And the police and military that the US is training is supposed to be an absolute requirement for this. Yet, those forces are riddled with undercover insurgents with badges that slaughter people not in their own tribe.

Republicans just voted down a proposed minimum wage increase. There hasn't been a raise in the mimimum wage since 1997.

But last week the house of representatives voted to give themselves a pay raise, as they have done nearly every year since 1997.

Why do republicans complain constantly about having to spend money on the poor but won't vote to give them a decent wage?

How many $5.15/hr jobs does it take to feed a family?
