DINO list update...

The following democrats voted for cloture on the "min wage + inheritance tax relief" poison pill bill, which no doubt would have passed on the floor.

The bill, which would raise the minimum wage to $7.25 (still below inflation adjusted $5.15 where it has been for 10 years), also included...


The hybrid bill would exempt the first $5 million of an individual's estate from inheritance taxes, and the first $10 million of a couple's estate, by the year 2015.

Estates worth as much as $25 million would be taxed at capital gains rates, which are currently set at 15 percent but are scheduled to increase to 20 percent.

Inheritance tax rates on larger estates would drop to 30 percent.


A clever little trick by the Republicans in the house. They can say they tried to raise minimum wages but the "Dems" wouldn't let them.

Anyway, here are the consistently Republican supporting Democrats.

Byrd (D-W. Va.), Lincoln (D-Ark.), Nelson (D-Fla.), Nelson (D-Neb.)

Nelson of Nebraska and Byrd of West Virginia are really starting to piss me off with their enabling of all things Republican.

At least Salazar (CO) "broke ranks" and actually voted as a democrat this time.
