I know you've been holding your breath waiting to hear the Democrats' election-year platform — I have, certainly. And while they haven't officially released it, Pelosi gave the CWA a preview:
In a speech to the Communications Workers of America on Tuesday, Pelosi mentioned Democrats' opposition to outsourcing. She said Democrats will end tax subsidies for companies that send jobs overseas.
Oh, that's good. Let's unconstitutionally stick our nose into businesses and force them to waste money on higher salaries. Let's force businesses to raise prices and cut jobs. Good one, Dems!
She also said Democrats support the "right of all Americans to organize," a sentiment that goes over well with labor unions such as the CWA.
Union membership has dropped to around 12%, but you can count on the Democrats to have their tongues planted deeply up the anuses of the unions and organized crime. Good one, Dems!
Democrats also support an increase in the minimum wage.
Of course, they do! Fewer jobs, hey, why not!
America lags behind other countries that have universal broadband deployment, Pelosi said; but the Democrats' agenda "guarantees" that every American will have affordable access to broadband within five years.
Power to the people! Free broadband for all!
You can bet McCain will be behind this one, all the way. We're already going to foot the bill for HDTV sets. However, Pelosi had one uncharacteristic flash of insight:
"In order to make any of these victories, we must have one important victory first — we have to win in November," Pelosi told the CWA.
Yup. Don't you think socialism might be a problem there, Nancy?
She also said real security means giving troops the equipment they need to keep them safe in a war zone.
Is that before or after we unconditionally surrender, pull our troops out of the Middle East, and have "healing" ceremonies co-sponsored by the Democrats and CAIR, Nancy?
What's amazing about this is that it is essentially the same, tired, 30s socialism we've been getting from the Democrats since FDR. Nothing new, just bigger, more inefficient, more nanny government taking on more "duties" not granted by the Constitution, and all "for the next generation."
Nancy, you mean the dependent, welfare generation.
Idiots.
