  • NoStoppingUs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7i heart liberal hypocrisy.
  • armyvet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"When Democrats blasted Republicans last fall for taking annual congressional pay raises while blocking numerous attempts to raise the minimum wage, it was an effective campaign tactic."

    "Lawmakers' pay will be frozen at $165,200 for this year in the dispute, in which Democrats VIOLATED a yearslong understanding that the competing parties would not use the pay raise issue in campaign ads."

    I'm giddy.

    But nothing will be said on TV media about this.
  • mightydavefish, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1For ONE time the Repugs decided NOT to reward themselves for being the laziest congress in history. And you guys are acting like it is a big deal? I guess it is, when this is the only non-selfish act the Repugs have done in 7 years. How come you are not ridiculing them for accepting the raises the last 10 years?
    Relish it while it lasts, they'll do something stupid and greedy soon enough.
    How can you support a party where THIS is the best thing about them in the news today, that they are slightly less selfish and greedy than we thought.

      I think BOTH parties have their fair share of selfishness and greed.
  • Dewhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The Dems are sleazebags.
  • bmcelrath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Typical double standard from the left.
