Gop didn't campaign against what the dems would do.
No funding for the fence.
Conyers wants to make racial profiling against arabs illegal.
Do the people in virginia know about john conyers.
Leahy wants terrorists to get habeus corpus rights.
And damn Bush. The dems blocked his whole agenda through filibuster now he couldn't wait one second to run to the mike with tony snow and talk about passing their liberal agenda.
That is what the message people missed.
It is one thing to kick out the congress with a conservative congress.
But you kicked out the only conservative firewall.
Now major league RINO Bush is already giving the dems two bills to pass amnesty and minimum wage. And the whole party will be blamed for Bush.
Dems purposefully blocked all the gop bills to make them look bad but with bush the dems have their rino to pass their liberal agenda.
It would be one thing if cheney was in office but this white house is so rinoish it is scary.
The last few months seeing how they have dealt with israel I finally realized what rinos they are. Bush wants to give weapons to the plo.
This is like the dems having all three branches of govt.
It would have been better to have a dem president and a gop congress than a liberal congress and a rino to pass their whole agenda.
Bush now with his political tone deafness kicked out our congress now he is in full destruction mode of what is left of the party.
So far we have amnesty and minimum wage what else can we look forward too.
These are going to be a long next two years.
We have the liberal agenda coming.
So everyone will have to get a raise, and the gap will be the same. If the unskilled get a freebie, those who are skilled will need their wages increased. It's only fair.
The higher cost of wages will be passed on to the consumer. All the democrats are doing is making it harder for everyone. They just can't do anything right.
I heard John Mccain saying the same thing today on russert's show. No hike without a cut.
This looks to be a very, very bad two years.
Minimum wage increases, amnesties for illegal aliens, "moderate" judges (code for left-of-center), even more gun control and God only knows what else.
As long as the far-left's demands are met, everything will be "smooth" and "bipartisan." The second the conservatives ask for anything, it will be "Bush is dividing the country" garbage. Bush, please, grow a spine and veto, veto and veto some more.
And when the nuke goes off, they'll try to blame Bush for it.
Democrats are deadly. The MSM propaganda worked, and America lost.
Or maybe the biggest winners will be the union thugs who have their wages indexed to the minimum wage. (For example: minimum wage + $25.)
How is this so hard to understand? When the minimum wage increases, unemployment increases. The minimum wage should be abolished at all levels of government.
Whatever. But I wonder if the "Institute" factored in the number of those jobs that are going to be lost due to soemthing other than the market dictating what a non skilled laborer is paid. Small business will not raise prices as the first option. They'll cut costs and the most expensive cost is the cost of labor. It'll be incremental as the wage is ratcheted up over the years....
RINO - I'll second that.
My highschool age daughter got her first job a month ago. Part time in a burger joint but pays $6.00 an hour and she'll be up to $6.75 in 2 more months.
Baby steps for now but she'll be on the ladder to success in a few more years.
bingo
Minimum wage hike will be followed within 6 months with an inflationary rise in prices as the new wage trickles throughout the economy.
Minimum Wage Hike = Instant Inflation
What on earth is a liberal non partisan research group? If they're liberal, then they are, by definition, partisan. And not partisan in a realistic way!
Why dont they just save jobs by not increasing min wage and double the proposed tax cut?
GW will have an earlier time filling 2 SC positions, now. One with Alberto Gonzales and the other with Harriet Miers.
lol
This is obviously targeted at union indexes.
Doesn't it tell you something when Bush finds it easier to do something with a democratic majority and Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house (like passing an amnesty for illegal aliens bill)?
