HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTE FULL REPRESENTATION FOR DC-- BUSH VOWS A VETO « Thread Started on Apr 20, 2007, 6:09pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTE FULL REPRESENTATION FOR DC-- BUSH VOWS A VETO read at source> http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/200 ... l.htmlWere Abe Lincoln to suddenly be resurrected and decide to run for office as a Republican-- before someone could warn him that his old party had been completely taken over by a cabal of southern racists, self-styled aristocrats and religionist kooks-- he might win an election in the District of Columbia. Short of that, it's hard to imagine any Republican ever getting a significant number of votes from that high-information, predominantly nonwhite district. (Less than 8% of the voters are registered Republicans and Bush only managed to garner 9% of the vote in each of his bids for the presidency.) So when Democrats have tried to give the District of Columbia equal representation, Republicans have fought it tooth and nail.
