  1. There's a federal minimum that applies to all states, but each state can vote to make it higher within the states by whatever amount they want. Like having a cap floor in sports.
  2. So if it came to a vote would his fellow Republicans in the House allow him to get married?
  3. If the Republicans overplay their hand as expected and bog down the Senate wasting time with Obama investigations, trying to repeal the ACA, and putting poison pills in bills, it will set the Democrats up for a nice rebound in 2016 when there are 10 Democrat Senators up for reelection in contested states compared to 24 Republicans. Reagan lost the Senate to the Democrats in his 2nd midterm by a 55-45 margin. so these swings are cyclical. It helps clear out some of the dead wood and forces the losing party to reevaluate their priorities and message.
  4. Did they threaten to make Vanek stay with the Sabres if he didn't pay?
  5. In 2016, the percentage of white voters will be 2% less than in 2012. And that's not counting the illegals that some think 'manipulate the process'. Corrected.
  6. The positive agenda of a Republican Senate, according to Ted Cruz: 'The first priority next year, he told the Post, should be a string of hearings on President Barack Obama, "looking at the abuse of power, the executive abuse, the regulatory abuse, the lawlessness that sadly has pervaded this administration." He also hopes a Republican Senate will "pursue every means possible to repeal Obamacare," just as the GOP-controlled House has tried more than 50 times to dismantle the health care law.' http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/03/politics/ ... homepage-t
  7. I hope they're not size-12 Bruno Magli shoes.
  8. One team could consist of the most underachieving CHL players, the other of non-CHL players who are the least productive relative to their high salaries. Take nominations for 3 F, 2 D, 1 G, and 1 coach. The MVP gets the Villie Leino award.
  9. It makes no sense to allow civilians to possess the type of guns whose primary purpose is to kill humans. It also makes no sense to build street legal cars that can go faster than the speed limit. That doesn't eliminate all guns or cars, just puts common sense restrictions on them.
  10. Tyreese didn't kill the guy in the cabin. He went back to Terminus, and was with Gareth in the church.
  11. I don't think he should even be on the team. He and Zadorov should be back in the OHL getting maximum minutes. Neither are ready for the NHL.
  12. This is factually incorrect. The comprehensive bill proposed but not brought to a vote has no amnesty. It has a path to citizenship. If they don't have a criminal record, pay back taxes and a fine, they are put at the back of the line for citizenship, but are allowed to stay as legally documented non-citizens. Quite different than the Reagan amnesty.
  13. It's Obama and the Democrats who want to change the status quo by passing comprehensive immigration reform. But Boehner won't allow it to come to a vote in the House because he's afraid of the conservatives, even though there's enough Republicans who would join Democrats that the bill would pass. Instead of dealing with the root cause, the conservatives push for piecemeal voter ID laws which adversely affect American citizens.
  14. Drouin was drafted last year and was sent back to juniors. Reinhart has played more games than Drouin in his draft year. Drouin has as much time as Stamkos because they're on the same line. Oh, and did I mention, he's playing with Stamkos. Buffalo has nobody with half the skills of Stamkos.
  15. True, but so are a lot of other rulers whose countries we don't invade. A lot more people died and were displaced after we invaded, and everything happening now is a consequence of it. Sometimes you have to take the lesser of two evils.
  16. Or an Iraq with Saddam Hussain.
  17. Unfortunately he has to get the college of cardinals to agree. Like Obama trying to get Congress to agree.
  18. Booted my computer at work this morning and knew something was wrong. Tech support checked it out and found new type of virus that another person got a couple weeks ago. Bad news is they can't restore the files saved on the computer, and it has to be reimaged.
  19. There should be an alarm on the Sabres app that wakes you up when the Sabres score.
  20. They were hoping to get out of there with a one goal loss and rest up for the Kings, but the NHL is forcing them to keep playing.
  21. Your statements wouldn't pass as a high school history paper. No links or footnotes of where specifically you get your information. And again, no proof that illegals manipulated elections.
