The talking points for the R's today are outrageous

[thecrow]

..."Why not raise the Minimum wage to $20 $50?..."
Stupidity is still their strong suite.

[jobycom]

1. They are not suited for logical arguments. nt

[Zuiderelle]

2. That's right in line with "why not let people marry boxturtles?"

[katsy]

5. One puke actually said getting

mothers to marry the fathers would eliminate poverty.

:eyes:

[JuniperLea]

3. Steph Miller was saying that some RWNutJob

Actually said Bush is doing the best he can with the economy handed over by Clinton... the Clinton recession he called it! I had just tuned in so I don't know who it was she was referring to, but can you imagine? The Clinton Recession??? When the hell did that happen?


:rofl:

[Alamom]

6. We had a recession when he was hoarding all that money in

SURPLUS for the next prez. The MSM loved Clinton so, they didn't report it :sarcasm:

Makes perfect sense to those people.....:silly:

[gollygee]

4. "because that's an unreasonable amount"

This kind of thing drives me crazy. Saying minimum wage should be X doesn't mean anyone thinks that minimum wage should be 2X or 5X. Duh.

[wryter2000]

8. Well put

I hadn't thought of that exact argument. I always reply, "So, if lower taxes are good, why not lower them to 0?" Some people will agree to that, but not even most Repugs think we should pay 0 in taxes. We need something to buy weapons.

[porphyrian]

7. By that logic, why not send every able American to Iraq?

Stupid republicans, excessive exaggeration isn't undetectable.

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. (D) response should be: "By your argument, then why not have no minimum

and allow it to get down to a penny a day???"

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Why only escalate the war by 20,000 troops?

Why not bring back the draft and draft every able-bodied person up to the age of 42 without exception and send them to Iraq?
:sarcasm:

11. by that same token, I read an article earlier about the cost to buy a house

these days and the median price is about 248,000, so if some one wants to buy a decent house they have to make some where between $20to $50 an hour.
