Yep, Bush gave in and signed one in 2008, and look how that worked out.
Problem is that the GOP still repeats the same arguments from the early 1990s while Dems are always dreaming up new ones.(Like 'Higher wages create more jobs')
Some of that comes from talk radio, I notice Mark Levin is once again going back talking about Reagan's economy, skipping GWB altogether,
That is not an argument for the general voter, its just for his over 50 audience.
Mitt Romney was in no way the person to argue against a minimum wage increase either, he was a train wreck.
Sorry guys, Obama was talking about the federal minimum wage.
