What up with Sen. Kyl as in "pill" |

They always put him up as the main hand waiver every time a TV camera appears in the Capitol rotunda--right after Sen. McChinless McConnell and fruity little Sen. Ensign of Nevada--or that sell-out Sen. Shelby from Alabama where they've never ever heard of a union worker.
Sen. Kill read a list of "earmarks" in the Stimulus/Jobs bill that totalled a few billion less than Bank of America just spent of our tax dollars to buy a Chinese bank. That was when Bush called a closed session in October to threaten Democratic senators of martial law and postponement of the elections unless Dems would vote for a MASSIVE giveaway to banks with absolutely no conditions.
What a phony BF'n bunch of liars! Somebody said the Repukes are all now like 3-year olds throwing a tantrum now that they are out of power and responsible for the second great depression in the U.S. with their ridiculous policies.
Harry Reid pointed out that when they had a majority there were NO conference committees with Dem invited. Now we are inviting these BFs back in, but there must be a way to stick it to them. Moveon?

Not only do the not want unions workers the don't pay more that just above minimum wage, and they even try to cheat you out of that. I worked for 6 electrical contractors in just over 2 years. All had beneifits after you have worked for 3 months full time. 89 days..your gone work 60 hrs you get paid for 40 then take 1/2 the next week off. I worked for Starr Electric 6 10s and 8 on Sunday for almost 5 months. They neglected to pay me and the entire crew about 2500$ EACH. No one would speak up as it was at the end of 82 during the 'recession' and if you did you would not work in monkeytown again. Trust me I did speak up, I also was outted so I already a known fag and black listed for that. Then I moved to Fla, I was sick of the bullshit, harassment by cops, job situation, the attempted cross burning on my yard. I was down town Fort Lauderdale looking for work on the construction sites and happened to walked into the Federal Courthouse/federal office building to change my Social Security address, and noted a sign. Labor Department..I thought ya know could not hurt to ask about all that over time I did not get paid for in nazibama..and I just happened to have my little notebook that I had been tracking my hours in...turned out that was enough evidence. He asked if others at that company were underpaid too. I said yes and gave a sketchy list (even those assholes gave me shit bout being gay) of about 25 or 30 other guys that had worked on that dog track. He said he didn't need names so much as approximate number they would raid the place and take the records. I figured if I got my back pay cool if not I was already out the money. Several months later I got a check (taxes withheld) for about 2600$. Your government at work..for once it actually helped me. And No I have not set foot back in nazibama since , never will either. The rpigs own everything there it seems, and I have had my fill of them. Watching the sorry behavior on the news turns my guts, I cannot understand how they live with themselves..I guess enough selfishness will allow you to do anything.
