Republican Party

Tackling the Desperately Hard Issues

Republicans have some very serious priorities. That wingnut who wants to ban pornography, for example. Here's another example in Minnesota:

Minnesota state Rep. Tom Emmer, the presumptive Republican nominee for governor, appears to be going into damage control mode in the wake of his proposal to lower the minimum wage for waiters by crediting their tips towards the state's wage requirement. He now has a listening tour session coming up this Wednesday, at which he will meet with servers.

Is there some sort of crisis demanding that table servers get the shit kicked out of them? Are they marketing in credit default swaps and funneling the cash to al-Qaeda?
