I thought that was the money we were talking about.

Lots of pilots blur lines between the union and PAC...

The minute that abortion is outlawed, the R's potentially lose a hell of a lot of single-issue voters. So, don't get your hopes up. They're happy with the staus quo.

The unborn.. the only lives right wing Republicans have ever cared about.

Looks like the dems really are the party of death and taxes.

They don't ... It is a voting issue.

Years ago I overheard Lee Atwater tell a staffer (angrily ... Which after my very brief exposure to him was normal) that "the voter doesn't tell us what the issues are ... They aren't smart enough to know ... We tell them what the issues are".

May that arse-hole toss and turn in the grave.

My brief low level work in the Republican party during and right after college caused me to open my eyes and then take off the rose colored glasses.

Anyone that still votes along party lines and can’t think for themselves is part of the problems.

Same with race relations, gender wage gap, and opportunities for minorities for the democrat party. No incentive for democrats to fix them.

Minimum wage..... if either party really "cared" about a minimum wage they would have indexed the rate to inflation in 1938 when they created it at $0.25 an hour. But instead, they like to haul out the issue each election cycle to bludgeon each other with and get out their base voters.

Everything over $50k should be taxed at 70-80% like in Norway then we can have a $20 minimum wage. The high income earners still have more than anybody. Nobody needs to make $200k a year that’s stupid.

In case any SJW wants to send in 70-80% of their over $50k income to the federal government, here's a link for it so you don't miss out:
