My Conscience

Democrats took the house by a large margin, and they took the senate too by a small margin. They also took a majority of governorships giving them a 28-22 advantage. Democrats also picked up a majority of state legislatures, now 23 states have both legislative bodies as democrats 16 have both controlled by republicans, and 10 states have legislatures split between the two parties. In legislatures that democrats didn't gain control of most gained seats in to narrow the gap.
Translation: Republicans got screwed.

Ballot measures:
south dakota abortion ban failed.
parental notification bans in oregon and california failed

Missouri passed its stem-cell research amendment in missouri, guanteeing that stem cell-research will be legal and promoted.

legalization of marijuana failed in nevada and colorado

same sex marriage bans passed in seven states, failed in one.

minimum wage measures passed in all states on the ballot.

How do states think they have the right to ban same sex marriages? It REALLY pisses me off. I want someone to take it to the supreme court gonk
Well the good thing is that for the first time in US history a state voted down an amendment banning same-sex marriage and the ones that passed them, did so with a significantly smaller margin than in 2004.

the truth of the matter is that politicians do little to nothing to put abortion laws in place, even the ones who say they're "pro-life" don't take a stand on the issue when push comes to shove.
This was proven true when the last pro-life politician who had the guts to do something about it, Robert Casey, a democrat, back in 1992, took on Planned Parenthood and the rest of the so called "pro-life" politicians stood silent, too concerned about their popularity than standing up for what they claimed to believe in
Isn't true of all politicians?

I really feel that politicians are not worth voting for... I mean you base it on what people do in office, there are many platforms and lots of promises, but not every one of them will be fulfilled...
