According to Congressional Quarterly, the House is on its way to passing an Alternative Minimum Tax patch to keep things the way they are right now.

In 2000, George W. Bush won the electoral college. He however, lost the popular vote. The election was so close that Al Gore challenged one state in an effort to change the outcome of the election. The only reason it was that close was because Gore focused on a hand full of huge electoral prizes [...]

Nothing.
SOME people make the argument that a house divided is stronger than a unified house. Of course, some others have made the point that’s not true. I would be in that boat. I have also stated several times in the past that within two years, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would do [...]

Got this from Citizens Against Government Waste:

The new House leadership promised to bring to Washington, the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.

Nancy Pelosi ( yeah, I know, AGAIN! ), lambasted the Republicans for being nothing but crooks. Her silence on the Democrat Culture of Corruption has been deafening. This weeks’s scandal? Dianne Feinstein.

Earlier this year, several reports started circulating once again about the end of the world as we know it.

The Democrats haven’t even officially taken over the government yet, but they are already tossing out anything Republican as fast as they can. Along with that, I guess we can totally dismiss Bush’s "conservative compassionism":
Its not just committees our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously, Mr. Rangel said in an interview.
