    When will the democrats see the truth?

    I really don't think right.

    For years I have thought that the republicans couldn't look themselves in the mirror for all the bad things they have done to the people of America and the bad stuff in the world. Well, they just don't care. They are diverting money to the rich, draining our resources and destroying our constitution. I care so much that I couldn't even imagine that they don't care. They also are complicit in destroying our environment.

    Glenn has finally made me realize how complicit that the democrats have been. The post today is the slide toward the police state with dems right in there with the republicans. These democrats simply don't care about the constution, our republic, and avoiding being a police state.

    Chris Dodd, now more than ever, we need you to champion the cause and stop telcom imminity. If you fold now, you become one of them.

    When will the democrats see the truth? My level of hope goes down daily.
