They were asked, they were proded and then, wtf? The Republican Party(enmasse) have not a clue what the minimum wage is! I guess only a democrat like me knows, federal minimum wage is $7.25! Some States Minimum wage are even higher, but cannot go below the federal guideline.
Join me over the jump for discussion:
So, here we have it. The Democrats have been the party for the working people for years and the republicans are trying to say we are the party of food stamps(Not fair, tens of millions of the poor and destitute depend on this and should not be joked about).
And yet, every time a Republican is asked about the minimum wage, over the past month, they have no clue. They evade and go onto some other issue, per the republican playbook! I am telling you, they are the World's biggest Hypocrits!
Here is the article with 3 videos for proof:

And everytime this issue is on the ballot, it goes through with flying colors. Also, a recent poll tells you that a vast majority wants the minimum wage raised to 10 bucks an hour. Squirm republicans, squirm...
The GOP also fundamentally disagree with this policy as they do not think employers can afford it. Well, to bad...
Rachel Maddow says this subject is a winner for dems. After watching her show, and reading this article, I am in agrement. But, will dems use this in any of their races, or is it just an occasional journalist question? ONLY Time will tell.
