You keep picking losers. I don't really see that changing with the Presidential race, to be honest.

But I understand that winning at all costs is important to you, so you should probably just stick with that.

Yes. It's the Democratic Party.

And the former Democratic Party became the Socialist Party. Now to just return the Republican Party to conservatism.

Sorry, they're too busy being the Democratic Party to bother with that.

Yes. It's the Democratic Party.

Does that also make the Democratic Party the Republican Party?

Should they just change their name(s) to Demopublican or Remocratic or some such?

Stacey Campfield, Tennessee GOP Lawmaker, Wants To Tie Welfare Benefits To Children's Grades

lol?


Some GOP-led states look at electoral vote changes

[patrickaa317]

Some GOP-led states look at electoral vote changes

Doesn't this make sense given that we are a [r]epublican form of government? This makes everyone's vote worth much more as my vote is just going against other votes in my district. I would prefer every state change to this method, though I recognize each state's right to make this decision. This method will also give a third party a much better chance at making a difference because we all know third parties can easily win certain districts but never stand a chance at winning an entire state.

People in blue Austin Texas really don't even get a vote because they are watered out by every other district, just as the red area of Northern CA is completely irrelevant when paired up against San Fran & LA. Now politicians have to ensure they are liked by a majority of people in a majority of districts, rather than just worrying about a handful of 'battleground' states.

The grades tied to Welfare thing is just ridiculous though, I'll give you that any day of the week.

The only person arrested and convicted of voter fraud in 2012 was a Republican

New Jersey Governor Vetoes Minimum Wage Increase

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) today vetoed an increase in the minimum wage that was passed by the state’s Democratic senate. Using what’s known as a “conditional veto,” Christie sent the bill back saying he would sign it if certain changes were made, including: shrinking the increase from $8.50 to $8.25 per hour, phasing it in over three years, and eliminating a provision tying the wage to inflation.

New Jersey’s current minimum wage stands at $7.25, so Christie’s veto, in essence, is saying that he believes a $1 increase in the wage over three years is sufficient. As the New Jersey Policy Perspective noted, “the first year increase proposed by the governor of 25 cents will be erased by inflation by the time the third year kicks in its 25 cents.

That would be a 5.5% increase over three years, national average is 3%. Now you aren't even happy with 150% of the national average at 4.5%? Anyone making minimum should get twice the raise as those who aren't making minimum wage? Why stop at $8.50? Why not make minimum wage $17.00 like WalMart is paying employees in the booming state of ND?

You are correct on your statement but even WalMart has to pay employees $17 an hour to attract people to work because the state is booming because, wait for it, OIL...

Gordon Weyrauch, manager of Williston Home & Lumber, said it's hard to keep good employees even at $16 an hour: "Seems like when you get somebody that's really good, there's always another company stealing them away."

A sign outside the local Wal-Mart advertises starting wages of $17 an hour.

The one that they can justify starting someone at $17 an hour for. If the Star Tribune didn't call out a certain position, you can be guaranteed there is a reason for it. I would definitely assume cashier, box boy, or greeter unless you can find out otherwise. It is definitely a left leaning paper.
