WHY ARE BU$HBUTTSUCKING CONNEDSERFATURD REPOOPLICKERS SUCH FOCKING DICKS…?

(The Confederacy rose again. So it's just going to have to be put down again. And hard!)

Republicans have once more blocked a minimum wage increase. They've been doing this for ten years now.

Bob Geiger has a great video of Ted Kennedy blasting Republican Senators for blocking the increase, and I mean blasting:

"What is it about it that drives you Republicans crazy? What is it? Something. Something! What is the price that the workers have to pay to get an increase? What is it about working men and women that you find so offensive?"


"240 billion dollars in tax breaks for corporations. 36 billion dollars in tax breaks for small businesses. Increase in productivity -- 42 percent over the last 10 years," yelled Kennedy emotionally. "But do you think there's any increase in the minimum wage? No."

Think Progress addresses the pitiful excuses for the Republican greed.

(How many more days do we have to wait for that election…?)
