What democrats will do

Put new rules in place to break the link between lobbyists and legislation.
Enact all the recommendations made by the 9/11 commission.
Raise the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.
Cut the interest rate on federally supported student loans in half.
Allow the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.
Broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds.
Impose pay-as-you-go budget rules, requiring that new entitlement spending or tax cuts be offset with entitlement spending cuts or tax hikes.

Well, what do you think. There's not a lot about the gubbymint going after the guns, but maybe they will get up to some dumbshittery in the future. Anyway, I have nothing against this agenda, do you?

>>10 "People should be allowed to lobby for things they want." This could become unsustainable even with checks and balances.
"The NRA, for example, is known as a 'gun-lobby', as is GOA." Money shouldn't even be a factor for the decisionmaking of legislators.
"They should be allowed to lobby for our 2nd amendment." They shouldn't have to anyway.
"Fuck the 9/11 commission.  Terrorism poses about as much threat to your average american as a peanut allergy." So even though this isn't an issue to you you'll let the right control the entire trifecta for two more years?
"*Makes starting new & small businesses more difficult & expensive.

*Increases the price of American-made products, goods, and services (and thus increases the trade-deficit, since other countries that pay their workers lower wages will then overtake the USA in the marketplace.)

*Increases outsourcing and the price of employing more people.  (Higher paying jobs for some, less jobs to go around, and more job loss to outsourcing.)" There were a fuckload of economists including some nobel laureates that supported the idea of a raise recently. But I am sure they just haven't read your arguments.

"Stupid.  I am not against stem cell research, I'm against GOVERNMENT stem cell research.  Fuck the government.  Let the private sector do it if they like.  The government shouldn't be giving any funding to this." Sometimes some things have to be done without direct interest of profit. Preparing for global climate changes is another such consideration.
"I've heard rumours that they might be looking to create a new Assault Weapons ban if the democrats take solid control of the Senate, the House, and the presidency." I've heard rumors that the man has an entire colony of grays hidden in Area 51.
"Combine that with John Conyer's ramblings about how we need a National ban on handguns" There are these racists that are running in the south. So the republicans can't be trusted.
"not to mention the recent movement to ban various kinds of hunting" What forms of hunting? I am against abortion after a certain limit.
"I honestly wouldn't trust those assholes for a second." I'm sure the dehumanized women of South Dakota are glad they can at least get a lawgiver without any back-up check. Not impressed.

Fuck the republicans - at least if they are going to suck jesusmeat at this rate. Vote for Paul or Tester - kill the evangelicals and rigid socialists.
