When we all know that they voted down an estate tax rider to their bill? I guess it's the old fact cherry picking that confuses voters. I just wanted to clear that up for all of you spreading lies...

It was a way for the Republicans to try and slip another tax cut to their friends. But, since it was voted down, they can now say that the Democrats don't like the working man because they voted down the minimum wage bill. How convenient with the elections coming up in a couple months. Just wait, they will use this in their campaign strategy. It's all a political trick which was carried out pretty well. Wrap your brain around this: How can the Democrats vote it down when the Republicans hold the majority? There had to have been Republicans that saw the mistake of adding on the tax cut or else it would have passed. There was not partisan voting going on here.

Because the RNC tagged a big fat tax cut for the rich onto it.
This is an old RNC trick. It's one of the reason we are financially supporting American tobacco growers.
Our government uses our taxes to support growers of the most deadly drug in the country. Amazing.

The Ds do it when they pack an otherwise good bill with some goodie that they know the Rs won't support.
That's why they call it parlor tricks. (See Mad Magazine #23 and Gopo Gossum)

so the Dem's denied working people a wage increase in order to deny other people the right to keep what is theirs already.....class war fare gets you either a Marxist revolution or run out of town.

I've never heard anyone say that, but if they did, its simply to keep them entagled in the GOP's web of lies.

It never ceases to amaze me when people fall for this tactic... This lead to John Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it." comment.
I wish people weren't so simple.
