re: #303 HappyWarrior

I mean I understand that for a political party to function, you have to have a fairly big tent but I just don’t understand Dems like Landrieu and Pryor who don’t seem to go against the president and party position out of genuine principle but rather political fear. As I said, the minimum hike Pryor opposed was in fact popular in his own state.

Well, right. There’s nothing “principled” about something that is environmentally a disaster (and doesn’t provide that many permanent jobs), and denying an increase in the min wage in this obviously skewed economy of both rising prices and disparity in wealth.
