On the possibility of raising the minimum wage, for example, Hilleary was the only candidate who gave unqualified support for an increase. He said it was part of the country's long-established method of providing a social safety net.

Corker said setting wages was the responsibility of the private sector, while Bryant said he would not support a boost in the minimum wage unless there's a provision that blunts its effect on small businesses.


Every thread I've seen on this race, at least once person has called Corker a RINO, but this would suggest otherwise. He seems to be the only one that understands that the government shouldn't be setting wages.

So, somebody tell me, why is he a RINO?

Chattanooga Chafee Corker is a RINO on several fronts. Firstly, he was always the favorite "Republican" of the Democrats when he served in the ultra-RINO Sundquist Administration, and was actively courted by them to switch parties and run for statewide office. He demonstrated many liberal inclinations on issues while he was Chattanooga Mayor, be it socially or fiscally, and was also seen to be leaning favorably on Kelo. He also aided and abetted his 'Rat successor's victory for C'nooga Mayor this year. I don't trust anything he says, as he will say and spend whatever it takes to win.
