> Don't the Democrats have a majority in the Senate > AND the House?
Currently, yes, but that's not enough to "ram" policies through due to things like the filibuster which requires a supermajority to get around. Personally, I'm glad that no one party has too much power to impose their will on us, Democrats and Republicans alike. I'd like to see additional parties spring up and gain steam, but voters seem to be hell-bent on continuing to vote "against" what they don't like rather than voting "for" what they do want. "OMG, the Democrats might win and the Republicans are the only chance of beating them, so I'd better vote Republican!" (or the other way around). The "you're throwing your vote away if you vote for any other party" mentality has got to change in a big way before we see any major progress with other parties and really distribute the power in a meaningful way. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:324814 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
