From the August 29 issue:

Do you think a hate-crimes bill would be a priority in a Democrat-controlled Congress?

[GRAPH OMITTED]

Reader comments from www.advocate.com

* "Both Gore and Lieberman Lieberman, Liebermann, or Liberman are names deriving from Lieb, a German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) nickname for a pleasant or agreeable person, from the German lieb or Yiddish lib, meaing 'dear, beloved' (Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, , along with many Democratic members of the Senate and House, have been strong supporters of hate-crimes legislation."

* "After the election the GLBT GLBT Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered  electorate Electorate may refer to:
  • A constituency, the group of people entitled to vote in an election.
  • An electoral district, the geographic area of a particular election.
  • The dominion of an Elector in the Holy Roman Empire.
 will be forgotten like last week's fish."

* "With a Democratic Congress, hate-crimes legislation will be a priority, and with a Democratic Congress and Al Gore Noun 1. Al Gore - Vice President of the United States under Bill Clinton (born in 1948)
Albert Gore Jr., Gore
 as president, it will become law."

* "Yes as long as they focus the bill on all hate crimes, not just GLBT hate crimes."

* "I feel that the Democrats will end up with control of either Congress or the White House, not both, Without those dual `controls,' they won't push all that hard for hate-crimes legislation for at least another two years."

* "The Democratic Party takes the gay and lesbian vote for granted and has no incentive to address these issues."
