I hope that the Dems campaign heavily in Repuke districts. I feel that all Repuke seats are up for grabs because of this bill.

1. Except for the seven friggin' idiot Democrats...

... who didn't vote on it--including Gephardt.

Cheers.

2. great ammo for those vulnerable seats

Crane
Flake
Franks (AZ)
Hefley
Hostettler
Jones (NC)
Paul
Toomey
Wilson (NM)

only Republicans that spared themselves.

Kind of odd about Toomey, but I suppose since he's in such a labor heavy state he'll need this to stand a chance against Specter.

3. I know little of this but......

Sounds like a move to keep more workers on the low side of wages. I do recall my husband having a time with this at a large corp. They split it up so over time would be on a two weeks basic work week, so worked him 30 hours one week and 50 the next so they never needed to pay over time.I thought it was odd as they really paid for 80 hr of work, so what was the point and my husband said, no it means he works all night for his reg. pay when he should be getting over time for those 10 hr. and not taking a cut on his reg. 10 of lost work. Well I see that but where does the corp. make money on this? Just that he had to work all night at reg. Pay? I worked at a pick up store and they did the same. If I had to make up time for some one who did not turn up I was cut my reg. work. I never could go over the 39 hr. a work.
