Especially thinking of all my Democrat friends, what do you think of Tuna Fish Pelosi. At the same time she is supposedly leading an ethics reform in Congress, she was very unethical in protecting her own financial interests - in direct contradiction to what she was doing to the rest of the country. Minimum wage hike applied to every place in the U.S., except American Samoa. Why? Because Starkist Tuna is there and hires a lot of Samoans. The parent company of Starkist is located in San Francisco. For the sake of her own financial benefit, she is pleased to leave these people with an outdated wage of $3.60 per hour. The reason given is that to increase the minimum wage there will hurt business. And it is OK to do that to the other 99.9% of the country? Is that kind of hyprocrisy just good Democratic politics? Is it what Democrats want, expect and like? Have you just gotten so used to it that you do not even care?

I'll never get used to people who go back on their word, however, I can't say that the Republicans haven't done this either. This is just a shining example of the latest hypocracy though.

You are right that government is for the most part corrupt - in both parties. However, now is the time to humble the arrogant democrats who refuse to take responsibility for their unacceptable behavior.
