Comments on: Senate blocks removal of telecom immunity from FISA.

As Rachel Maddow pointed out on Countdown the other night, Bush is demanding that Congress to reauthorize the warrantless wiretapping program because if they don’t, we are at risk of attack from terrorists, yet he threatens to veto the legislation if they don’t give the telecoms immunity.

Certainly shows us where his priorities are.

I urge voters never again to support Mikulski (for whom I’ve voted in the past), Bayh (whose father’s campaigns I worked for in Indiana) and the rest of those who would sell us out. I promise that I never will!

What annoys me so much is the abysmal reason put into the defense of the status quo.

That people “TOLERATE” this happening “every election” = APATHY!

Now, care to explain your condescension?

By: Sabyen91

Sabyen91 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 06:55:09 +0000

Max, it happens every presidential election. So…don’t vote for a current officeholder if it annoys you so much.

Well,
Nobama, (s)Hillary and McCampaign just proved that they will be “ABSENT” often when it counts,as pResident.

SINCE WHEN IS WARRANTLESS… LEGAL?

Congress votes to usurp the Rights that provide the People of America their “SECURITY” from Tyranny. Congress “claims” to be usurping the People of America for “National Security” ergo, Congress fails to faithfully support and defend the Constitution of the USA and instead moves toward TYRANNY. I guess the People of the USA aren’t a National interest to Congress.

T R E A S O N!

WHAT DOES CONGRESS SUPPORT AND DEFEND IF NOT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA?

Thanks for the roll call, Theresa. I already knew my guys voted the right way but it is nice to see the Dems that need to go down.

By: Theresa

Theresa — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 05:50:17 +0000

Here’s the roll call, and yes, Clinton and Obama (as well as McCain) didn’t show up to vote. Too busy on the campain trail to defend us Americans, but they all have plenty o time to buy our votes.

Scumbags all of them.

saco, knowing the people around here there will be no protests until after the elections. Peacefully, or otherwise. But I live in a very purple, working class state.

But seriously… people should be outraged with what is happening and begin to surroung congress! Peacefuly, quietly, but masses of people demanding their electives to do the right thing! It is so sad to see what is happening since Bush took office… I would like so much to think about ‘What would I BAKE today for dinner…” instaed be horrifyed by this criminal administration that has destroyed the USA, is destroying its economy, therefore giving the ret of the world a hell os a headake… I know it sounds conney… but Isn’t there another awy that every human in this planet can live as a big community instead the current state of affairs?! I seriously think we will not survive as a spieces… Wow!!!! I better go to the kitchen and BAKE something without BRAKING anything, after all that!!!:)

Sabyen91 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 05:35:46 +0000

I know it is, saco. And you are make much more sense than most people here who actually vote. We are now stuck with either Hillary or McCain…a couple of Bush wannabees. I am embarassed to be an American right now.

I know Sabyen91! I nearly died when I read it! English is a second language to me, but I know the diference between baking and braking! How embarassing! :)!!! I broke the baking dish

If this was happening in a country with a serious, legitemate elected president, the congress would be surrounded by the people demanding ACCOUNTABILITY for the criminals that brake the law!

By: Sabyen91

Sabyen91 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 05:25:10 +0000

saco, BREAK the law. I think you misunderstand the US way of doing things. If you are rich and/or powerful breaking the law is ok.
