Okay, and Dingy Harry then got in on the act.<\/p>\n<p>REID: We have had a hundred hearings on Iraq, and we\u2019re going to have a hundred more and we\u2019re proud of it! (Cheers and applause.) That\u2019s in preparation for us to get our valiant troops to come home!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Valiant troops to come home, in defeat! Our valiant troops to come home waving the white flag! That was at the minimum wage rally at Upper Senate Park yesterday. Now, there\u2019s a piece by Amanda Carpenter today at TownHall.com: &#8216;On Tuesday, a 70 cent increase to the federal minimum wage went into effect,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. &#8216;To celebrate, labor activists held a rally on Capitol Hill to thank congressional Democrats for delivering the pay raise &#8212; and demanded more. &#8216;Even when we get to $7.25, it\u2019s not enough. We have to work hard for more!\u2019 labor leader Anna Burger of the Service Employees International Union yelled.\u2019 She was shouting this. &#8216;Burger\u2019s calls were echoed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) Monday evening at the Democrats third televised presidential debate. &#8230; After Burger\u2019s [shout match], speakers played U2\u2019s\u2019 &#8216;Beautiful Day\u2019 as congressional Democrats walked onstage. There, Democratic and labor leaders exchanged many hugs. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D.-Mass.) said he was willing to raise the minimum wage much higher. He, along with Rep. George Miller (D.-Calif.), said, &#8216;We\u2019re going to introduce a bill to raise it to $9.70 an hour.&#8221; Charlie Rangel said, &#8221;This will protect national security because a nation can\u2019t survive without its dignity.&#8221; Now, what\u2019s the lesson here, aside from the fact that I have a melodious voice? The difference here, the lesson to learn here is that you can\u2019t compromise with these people. No matter what you give them, it isn\u2019t enough! Republicans, conservatives seem to never, ever get this. Democrats are clamoring for the minimum wage increase, so, fine. Go along with them. But they never stop! They never stop. No matter what you give them, it\u2019s not enough. Liberalism is just a path, ladies and gentlemen, to the dark side. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yesterday I asked &#8212; when the minimum wage went up 70 cents, first time in ten years, hubba hubba &#8212; &#8216;Where are the parties out there?\u2019 IOt turns out there was a party.
