House Dems fought today for a Minimum Wage increase

[tyedyeto]

but apparently DUers don't give a shit.

For shame, for shame

1. How often do AMERICANS care what the Congress is doing?

The normal media doesn't even cover it anymore unless Cheney is telling someone to go fuck themselves.

After all, you can see all the earmarks to occupations and dictatorships we slam into our spending bills if you watch the Congress; if Americans watched the Congress and actually SAW what each member is doing, the ignorant stereotypes would be drowned out and the truth would flow forward extremely quickly.

2. It was noted there have been 7congressional pay raises since MW wasraised

[UrbScotty]

3. And you care little enough to make a sweeping generalization.

For shame. For shame.

[Erika]

4. The meanness of not raising the minimum wage

is tremendous. But so many are complacent and say nothing.

6. I saw them to, and they were trying to bend

over back wards to give the repubs a chance to just discuss it. He said he'd stay late (after 2, when the day was supposed to end), come in the next day, come in Friday. He'd do anything to debate it, but they wouldn't do it. The repubs keep rambling on on how important "curbing" Internet gambling was and how it was breaking up families.

I don't ever want to here another person say that the dems don't have a spine, or that they don't fight for us. Are they perfect? No, but they beat the hell out of being run over by repubs.

11. You can say that for me too, if anybody has any doubts about their dem

congresscritters just think about where we would be with out them. up shit creek without a paddle I tell ya' is where. It's hard to be heard when the press won't even listen.

13. Most Rethugs don't care

about the Working Poor. They only care about the wealthy getting tax cuts.

[midnight]

12. So, what was the story?

Does congress get another pay raise instead?

[zalinda]

16. Yes, they do, as well as the WH

This was also brought up by our dems. One of them mentioned that they had had 6 raises since the last time minimum wage was raised in 1997. Even shame doesn't work on these repubs.

14. DUers don't give a shit? That's harsh.

Maybe we leave the computer once every week or so to do other things . . . like actively campaign or one of those other worthless occupations. Sheesh.

[zalinda]

17. After you read so many comments

on how our dems don't have a spine or that they are corporate whores, you sometimes get the impression that few people here have any respect for them.

I know, it's probably the Naderites, but it does get under my skin after awhile.

15. I didn't even KNOW about it until this minute (6:00 a.m)

..I did call when it was first raised in the Senate and I called my Congress critter about bringing it on the floor for a vote....I do hope it comes up again.

[gully]

18. What, no threats to "leave the democratic party" today? Huh?

Keep in mind, it's only when "democrats" or ONE democrat isn't perfect that some are interested in bloviating "NEVER AGAIN" or some such drivel.
