WASHINGTON - Democrats and union leaders are lambasting President Bush for a proposal they say would cost at least 8 million workers their overtime pay after the House backed his drive to overhaul decades-old rules determining who qualifies for the extra money.---

Though further attempts by Senate Democrats to block the rules are possible - and though the administration can still alter its proposal - new regulations will take effect unless a law is enacted preventing it, giving Bush, the GOP and their business supporters the upper hand. ---

1. I wonder how many of those 8 million are blindly supporting Bush?

It seems to me that the right is giving up on the working class vote.

Of course if they believe they can steal another election what does it matter.

2. Gephardt and

six other Dems didn't vote, the votes would have turned the 213 to 210 over.
