Subject: BS: Compassionate Conservatism at work
Yeah, you're damn right I'm being facetious. What's more, I'm furious with Bush the Lesser, and you should be, too. Check this out:
"On March 31, the Bush administration proposed changing the current rules that guarantee that workers must be paid time-and-a-half when they work for more than 40 hours a week.
If Resident Bush has his way, as many as eight million Americans - including fire fighters, police officers, paramedics, nurses, and store supervisors - will be denied the pay their families count on to put food on the table or save for college and a home. The paychecks of millions of workers are at stake."
This isn't about Republicans vs. Democrats anymore. This is worse than stealing the election, worse than the tax giveaway to his rich cronies, worse than the heaps of lies about Iraq. This fucks over working Americans of all stripes. The bastard (who has never, ever worked an honest day in his life) has the unmitigated gall to call himself compassionate?!
You can read and sign John Kerry's petition against this abomination here. Please do.
"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
