Democratic Yes: 145 No: 62
Independent: Yes: 1 1

Looks like the Republicans supported the Patriot Act noticeably more than the Democrats in the House.

2001 Senate Vote:
Republican Yes 49 No 0
Democratic Yes 49 No 1 Not voting 1

Now: what parties tend to support, and which tend to oppose, voting rights? Glass-Steagall? abortion rights? unionization rights? worker rights?

"70 years of progress, and we've been against all of it" - The Republican Party
Glass-Steagall? What does that have to do with rights unless you are a bank?
If unions supported political parties equally I'm sure they would see more GOP support. They are nothing but political activist/lobbying groups now and are in the pockets of the Dems. Abortion rights? Seriously? When was the last serious challenge to abortion? Workers rights? lol

Your take on political issues is so black and white it completely misses the mark, almost all the time

What party opposes businesses, successful people, white males, the 2nd amendment, most of the the 1st amendment (free speech via the fairness doctrine) (impeding the free exercise of religion), ect....
