House Republicans Unanimously Vote Down Minimum Wage Hike

Who were the 6 Democrats who voted it down?

I assume this is the vote (it's 184-233): http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2013/roll074.xml

The Democrats need to kick them off the ballot for 2014 and run real Democrats.

You want new Republicans? Because all of those have a Republican to even PVI.

I don't know what those Democrats were thinking.  Do they honestly think voting for it would've been a strike against their reelection chances?

Clearly. Republicans, even working class ones, have completely bought up the myth of "the job-creating free market".

I think Owens and Schrader's district could elect proper Democrats tbh.

You're right about the other four though.

Real Democrats don't win Congressional races in Utah any more. We might be able to replace some of the others with real Democrats, though.

The only ones we could get away with replacing is Owens and Schrader. Particularly Schrader - he's been acting like a Republican recently.

At least Cooper was a yea. He's one that would be replaced with a real Democrat.
