[div class="excerpt"]The U.S. House of Representatives will shift to the Democrats in November 2006.

During the U.S. Presidential Election of 2008, no candidate will achieve a majority number of electoral votes. By law, the President in 2008 will be chosen by the House of... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Truth Hurts A Lot/45 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 16:57:20 Make over 60k/annually; 34% make over 100k/annually. With more honest participants, I'm sure the percentages would be a lot higher. They make loads of money and can afford (might even secretly welcome) more Republican rule.

Now, obviously nobody in the congress/senate will be forced to take that much responsibility for their votes.

Still, "mistakes" of this magnitude should not be tolerated.

My only mistake was saying homophobia is not the same as racism.
