I support increasing the minimum wage because low-wage earners often struggle to stay above the poverty line.

The minimum wage issue is on Lee’s platform. He believes that all workers should earn a fair and decent wage. The cost of living is continually up. Utility prices, food prices, gas prices. But the minimum wage is not going up. This makes it more difficult for people earning the minimum wage because they can’t keep up with the rising costs of everything.

Congress is aware of the rising cost of living. They passed a pay raise for themselves to account for the increasing cost of living. It is time to ensure that working families, too, can keep up with the cost of living.

Lee Harris is a big supporter of increasing the minimum wage, like I said earlier. Last week, he sponsored a benefit concert for waiters and waitresses to raise awareness of the plight of servers who often are paid low wages and do not receive any benefits. He recently released a position paper on the issue. That paper can be found at http://www.leeharrisformemphis.com/images/CreatingFairDecentWages.pdf

Lee also supports setting a timeframe for withdrawing from Iraq. It is time to bring our troops home.

I missed that one… thanks for pointing it out.

Wow, so Ann doesn’t watch the news either… not surprised. And funny that her ignorance has come back to bite her. Not that her devout audience will care.

I won’t read her nonsense. After the 2004 elections, I heard enough of her shrill nastiness to never wanna hear it again…

A pet rat that’s all up your derriere and in your tete;
And you’re lovin’ every minute of it.

According to the article at Raw Story – she gave no reference or acknowledgment in any regard. The passages were unreferenced as if she’d come up with them herself. I don’t know about the Right to Life website. I didn’t go there. I consider them a tainted source anyway.

Some of these look intriguing.
Ann’s plagarism doesn’t bother me as much as her lack of research and independent verification. She is just spitting out third hand information without checking to find the original source or to verify the truth of these claims.

Of course. The plagarism is just the tip of that iceberg with her…

The Raw Story article had her repeating a mistake originally made on 60 minutes.

I missed that show – what was the mistake?

Do you think she is too lazy to do proper research, or merely ignorant of the neccesity?

Her law degree suggests to me that she is either too lazy (or, in her anorexic case – too malnourished) to do the work, delusional (from lack of eating), or just immoral and arrogant enough to think she could make a buck off someone else’s words (how very neocon of her).

Should be interesting to see if she responds…

Why so delusional pet rat?

BAGHDAD, June 14 – Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Wednesday proposed a limited amnesty to help end the Sunni Arab insurgency as part of a national reconciliation plan that Maliki said would be released within days. The plan is likely to include pardons for those who had attacked only U.S. troops, a top adviser said.

Speak about Legitamize Killing American soldiers -

This book is merely a scam to launder money
The goverment buys the books and puts them in the incinerator
Meanwhile another republican gets loads of dosh

Why so angry little girl ?

i think the attitude is formed before basic – bigotry and racism are learned at home… i see it around here all the time… even this far north, plenty of confederate flag stickers… but this brand of “brown people” have been even more hated and scorned, and it seems that those attitudes are based on ignorance, not just simple intolerance… i’ve heard the term “sand n___er” far too many times – and often directed at Indian nationals… it’s sheer stupidity… and sad…
but, yes, add to that instructions on killing – volatile combination…

now, g’nite…
