How Republians Lost 2014 Elections: Democrat Minimum Wage Increase Votes In Five States!

[mascale]

Virginia is set to become a major Democrat Seniority, Senate player. Gillespie conceded against the nowhere leadership of a Senator Mitch McConnell. Why would anyone fight for more control for Mitch McConnell, Obstructionist leader, with Boehner, of the Republican brand!?! The Republicans have a max Senate Majority of 54, less five. Already the Independent Senators side with the pro-people, pro-customer spending, Democratic Party.

Rather than for the Koch Brothers, the people in five states voted for putting money into their pockets instead. That is opposed by Tea Party Boehner, and Tea Party McConnell.

The GOP House and Senate may look to have majority representation in the House and Senate, unless they do business, based on the issues approved by the voters.

mascale.........you need help.

 

[Smashy]

Mascale, once you catch your breath you'll realize that a lot of Republicans think it was time to raise the minimum wage. Even that dastardly Mitt Romney said he agreed the minimum wage needed to be raised.

Mitch McConnell is going to make an awesome MAJORITY LEADER.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Raising the minimum wage state by state is exactly how it should be done. There is no reason for a federal minimum wage at all.

 

[Vigilante]

Just how many people do you think actually WORK for min. wage?

About 2.2 million had wages below the minimum.(Waitress, bartender, all people who work and get TIPS!) Together, there are 3.8 million workers with wages at or below the Federal minimum & made up 5.2 percent of all hourly-paid workers.

It's SUPPOSED to be a salary for the YOUNG that are just coming into the workforce with minimum skills!...OH, and ILLEGAL INVADING HOARDS!

That is of course wrong as evidenced by the fact that , for example Oklahoma would allow certain employers to pay $2 an hour if the federal wage didn't exist. Many states have NO state minimum at all Bro.

Still looking for that silver lining, I see.

And you actually believe that if the federal minimum wage were repealed employers would suddenly start cutting everyone's pay to $2.00 an hour? Really?

 

[blackhawk]

I know few if any Republicans who oppose raising the minimum wage what they do oppose is doubling it to $15.00 dollars an hour. If any state wants to raise it's minimum wage have a vote if it works for you great you reap the benefits if it does not you also reap the downside the consequences will be yours and yours alone so choose wisely.

Whether I believe that would happen or not is a moot point. Do you concede that without the federal minimum wage Oklahoma law would allow some employee's to offer as low as $2 an hour?

So what if they don't, it is the STATE'S business not the feds.

Funny thing that the OP is claiming the democrats are the party of the people when on Tuesday the people decided they were not. I assume it may take a long while for that to sink in.

Certainly it is the fed's business.

You aren't very smart are you.

Companies which conduct INTERSTATE commerce fall under federal jurisdictions, not state.

Why in the world would democrats hang their hats on the "minimum wage"? Democrats lost because they thought their low information base represented all voters. Americans are smarter and better informed than they were when ABC and CBS and CNN owned election night. Democrats thought nobody would notice when CNN hired Obama's excuse maker to make excuses on election night. Did they think nobody would notice when Obama's former press secretary, Jay Carney pretended to be unbiased? Democrats tried old tired stuff like the race card and the pretend "war on women" but republicans elected Blacks and women. Where does that leave the democrat party, demoralized and confused?

 

[BlackSand]

As a true Conservative ... I don't have the slightest problem with States deciding on legislation regarding minimum wage ... But the Federal Government has no business do it for them.

So the concept of "liberal Republican," for the next tiny few months, embraces the liberal Minimum Wage, of the radical economic, interventionist brand. That is easily more liberal than a Senator Domenici, or President Gerald Ford, kind of brand. Beyond the five states, the Senator Elect from Colorado has dropped the basis-free, "Person-hood," concept. That is so famous that likely now there is a genuine national policy. Complete rejection of a "personhood" concept is easily regarded policy among Democrats, Republicans, the Socialist, and the Independent in the Senate, all alike.

The Socialist and the Independent will again caucus with the Democrats, noting which direction Libertarian and Independents tend to follow. Kentucky even has a Democrat being Governor. Senator Paul seems to have noticed. He is on board already with Senator Reid, on some legislation.

Maybe some of the Republicans will want to show up in the votes, with Senator Reid and the Democrats, too! "Decriminalization," for example--is embraced by Senator Reid and Senator Paul. That has already happened in California, just last Tuesday.
