I mean yes. What was the question?
She thought she wouldn't get caught. When the Dems were last in power they had much more of the press in their pocket.
I'm willin to bet she thought this would slide under the radar..
Is she going to get away with this???
The democrats convention theme song should be
Money for Nothing
the question was whether the samoans would be getting the higher wages - I guess the answer is NO. so Pelosi still accomplishes her goal of protecting starkist.
FR may have made a big stink about it, but I heard this on "Paul Harvey" with Senator Fred Thompson this morning before it hit the FReeper wires.
Too bad he's retired from politics. I bet he'd make a formidable foe for the Hildabeast and others on the "that" side of the aisle.
Technically, but their kickbacks to the canneries and bribes to the bosses to keep their jobs will increase accordingly.
The good stuff (white albacore) is aleady $1.79 for one of those little cans. I just bought some yesterday. But if Pelosi makes money off of Starkist, those are my last cans.
Looks like Pelosi is now between a rock and a hard place. Either way, she looks pretty bad........LOL
All American Samoa needs is a Wal-Mart, for gawd's sake.
They could be the central distributor for the whole South Pacific. Pago Pago, the CIA World Book says, has one of the best natural harbor to be found in the region.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Open a Wal-Mart.
No more fishy tuna smell.
"...it is no longer possible for the federal government to demand mainland minimum wage rates for American Samoa without causing the collapse of our economy and making us welfare wards of the federal government."BWAha! Isn't that a democRat objective?
Does this make sense to any of you?
On the one hand they're exempt but on the other hand they're included in the legislation? I don't get it.
First 100 hours and already making blunders.LOL
Yeh, my cat is going to be totally upset when he goes to an all Friskies diet. I'll attempt to tell him about San Fran Nan, and her 100 hours of flip flopping, but I doubt he will really give a s#$%.
LOL...caught in the act. The perfidy has only just begun.
sorry charlie
Have you seen the price of tuna lately?
Those little 2 ounce packets in tin foil are $2.50. That is $20 a pound. Czn you imagine what it is going to cost if the workers get the new minimum wage. (You can not fool me, I know who will wind up paying the new wages, and it ain't Starkist or Chicken of the sea.)
So she changed the wording of the Bill AFTER it was voted on???
