Senate Republicans Block Minimum Wage Increase
I know what you'er thinking...Republicans have given themselves a pay raise every year since the last time the minimum wage was raised. How could they be so cruel and heartless? Well they are Republicans they don't work like you and I, they see a person starving on the street and they think it sucks to be them. Decent people wonder if there is something I can do to help. It's a fundamentally different moral compass, or lack there of, that defines who is a Republican and who is not. But ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I have good news for you. The 43 Republicans in the Senate that stood up to take food out of the mouths of working people's families mouth do have to answer for their transgressions. 18 of those scumbags are up for reelection in 2008, well technically 17 of them, because one has already decided to retire rather than face the wrath of the angry voters in his state. We only need 6 more votes to have the interests of the American people put ahead of the greedy corporate masters of the GOP. So if you'd like to know where to start making this country a better place here's the list of people who couldn't bring themselves to do the right thing.
* Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
* Wayne Allard (R-CO)
* Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
* Thad Cochran (R-MS)
* John Cornyn (R-TX)
* Larry Craig (R-ID)
* Elizabeth Dole (R-NC)
* Pete Domenici (R-NM)
* Michael Enzi (R-WY)
* Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
* Chuck Hagel (R-NE)
* James Inhofe (R-OK)
* Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
* Pat Roberts (R-KS)
* Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
* Gordon Smith (R-OR)
* Ted Stevens (R-AK)
* John Sununu (R-NH)
Remember them with your votes at the ballot box and give generously of your time and money to their opponents in 2008. Change is quite possible. Find your Jim Webb or John Tester and help us make America better place by removing these corporate puppets onto the unemployment line. We'll get the rid of the rest of them in 2010 and 2012. Changing this country for the better starts each and everyone of you doing the right thing.

Two guys stand out in this list: Hagel and McCain. These guys are both (presumably) running for the White House in '08. The question is, will our candidates hammer them for this action?
