Ask me again after the next election. You may see a number of first-class shitheads elected to the senate this year.

It doesn't matter. The Dems are way too spineless to ever filibuster a Republican majority. Heck, they had the majority from 06-08 and still rubber stamped everything Bush wanted.

I'm too young to vote but I really dislike the ideas of the right. It's full of discrimination for homosexuals and they try to replace the constitution with Jesus. i.e. freedom for all doesn't apply to homosexuals to a lot of them for some reason.(it's religious reasons,cough,cough.)

Even now, with a majority and a democratic president they act like a minority and pander to the republicans.
