Surly's Soap Box

Republicans get it handed to 'em: I blame Walmart.
Well, the Republicans had it handed to 'em. But hey, this stuff goes in cycles. We probably need a couple years of high taxes, loosing the war in Iraq, terrorist attacks here in the U.S. (it's coming, it's coming), approval of prartial-birth abortions and 'harvesting' embryos for junk science. All in the names of 'progress'. Tax the rich to feed the poor until there are no rich no more (as the song goes).

I blame Walmart. Ya got some of the richest people in the world who won't cough up for decent health insurance for their employees.

Do I want Congress to pass laws forcing them to cough up? Hell no. I want them to see the error and hypocracy of their ways on their own.

Okay, maybe Walmart isn't to blame. But something is wrong with the conservative movement in the U.S., particularly here in Minnesota when the Republican Gov can win but the Republican Senatorial candidate looses by 20 points.

People more connected than I will make those observations, but I will be reading what they are saying.

Actually, Wal-Mart's got one of the better plans for insurance among retail companies, especially low cost retail. And Kennedy? Sorry, but he lost because he didn't make a case for why we should vote FOR him. Vote against Klobuchar--YOU BET--but then, who do we get for the deal?

Retail is notoriously bad for the way they take care of their employees. And yes, Kennedy did run a lousy campain.
