Charles Koch wants to eliminate minimum wage

[broncofan]

"One of the worst mistakes our beleaguered nation has made was the Constitutional Amendment giving females the right to vote. Lowering the voting age to 18 did not help. These mistakes caused us to endure both Obama and Slick Willie Clinton. Hillary will be the last straw"

I know first that this is a thread about the minimum wage but it seems to have slowed a bit. But I wanted to show this post to PaulClifford since he lamented the loss of the African-American vote for the Republican party. This comment above was posted on U.S News, and it had 117 votes in its favor.

I know people say all kinds of crazy shit on comment boards, but this one had a voting function so we can see how many right wingers agreed with the sentiment. It sort of gives us a fresh perspective on the voter suppression scandals.

The next comment was about homosexuals being inherently perverted, ringing in with 80 votes.

Your party has lost the minority vote because it has become a place of refuge for rank bigots. Not every Republican, but it's becoming more and more difficult to call oneself respectable and a GOP member.

African-Americans, Homosexuals, young Americans...wrong side of history. You have very little reason to wonder why most minorities are wary of your crackpot political affiliation.
