I can laugh...
I can laugh at this because I know that it's just 'boy crying wolf'. It's the ignorant choads that I see driving their cars around with their 'Bush 04' stickers still on their cars.
It's those people that live and breath and like those sheep that seize whe overly excited, their mind just stops working in the 'adult' mode and start operating in the overly emotional state of the primitive reactive brain.
People that live like that react to the 'news' that a boogie man wants to kill them by throwing all logic and common sense out the window and become programmed Manchurian candidates and vote for Bush, or even Satan...
Well, then there are those Neanderthals that voted for Bush because the either believed all the bullshit that turd blossom wrapped him in or actively wanted Bush to destroy the planet.
I wish that I could invalidate the votes of those die hard Bush voters. They show that they don't take this voting thing seriously so they should not be able to make the rest of us suffer.
But 'fear' like 'religion' are powerful controlling tools for the masses... *sigh*
I still expect a desicated Bin Laden to be rolled out before the election. Don't be surprised...

The Unintended Confession of Incompetence
Below is an excerpt from Armagednoutahere's letter below.
I agreed completely with that excerpt and hope the Dems have the analytical ability that A has and make this confession of incompetence part of the campaign in the general election.
"...somehow after all these years of terror-fighting, by their own admission now, this alleged war president hasn't made any progress against this enemy. In fact in this bizarre scenario it's the administration itself now telling us that Al-Qaeda are now even (somehow) more dangerous than they were before these amazing terror-fighters got started. How is it possible for these people to play the role of super-duper warriors against terror when they haven't accomplished anything in the years since 9/11 but to to let Al-Qaeda become even more powerful and scary. Can you imagine what the Republicans would say if the Dems tried to pull something like this? The fact that this (oh so terrible) enemy is even more capable of attacking us now, after all these years of war and death and wasted money, should preclude the possibility that these idiots would get anything they ask for at this point. This administration's incompetence alone should be enough to guarantee they won't be given what they're demanding...."

I go the other way
I am praying for WMD on America. Literally praying for the mass death of whole cities.

Tuesday News: White House sent a letter to the SSCI and SJC with new veto threats
Yet again, yet more threats to veto the new surveillance law - - you know, the one, in the absence of which, we'll all die tomorrow.
Yes, we'll all die tomorrow but better to die than to live with a new surveillance law that might yield a smidgen of monitoring of surveillance law compliance or a ghost of a chance of any penalty for breaking surveillance laws.
Not that any law have been broken, of course.
In fact, it's well known that everything was kosher, and the President Bush values (selected words and phrases of) the Constitution:

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
April 20, 2004President Bush: Information Sharing, Patriot Act Vital to Homeland Security
Remarks by the President in a Conversation on the USA Patriot Act
Kleinshans Music Hall
Buffalo, New York
9:49 A.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT: [...] Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.

Just a sampling
of a part of the problem ...
Have been curious about where the money lies in this situation. (We know to WHOM it lies ;D)
Found this free campaign finance site http://www.campaignmoney.com/ , where it's relatively easy to search . (Some are purposely meant to be difficult)
The first Telecom donor I found was the TMobile PAC. Below is a list of Senate recipients . There's not quite 2x that many from the House. I noticed that they only give to incumbents. (Hmmm, wonder why?)
The Senators:
Biden Corker Murray Stevens
Boxer Durbin Pryor Sununu
Carper Klobuchar Reid Thune
Cochran McCain Rockefeller Udall
Collins McConnell Smith
I'm not suggesting it's the sole reason that they do what they do, or that it's a quid pro quo. It does buy access, though. Harder to bite the hand that feeds, if you know it personally. Wondering if there's any way to publicly hit them with a complete compilation of those donations , and embarass some of them into changing their position?(assuming they still have the capacity for embarassment)
"I can laugh at this because I know that it's just 'boy crying wolf'. It's the ignorant choads that I see driving their cars around with their 'Bush 04' stickers still on their cars."
I laugh too, until I think about the high probability that those that haven't scraped those damned things off , still believe.

Funny how even if 100% true, NONE of McConnell's warnings
have anything to do with, or in any way justify or require, an extension of the PAA, let alone telcom amnesty. Every single threat that he raised can be covered by the pre-PAA version of FISA, with perhaps some relatively minor adjustments to take into account newer technologies.
So I fail to see the salience of his points. It's like arguing that because there's steroid use in baseball, we need to raise the mound or enlarge the strike zone. Huh?
Sorry, Mike, I am not pursuaded. But you're certainly welcome to try and scare me some more. I'll bring the popcorn and try to scream at the appropriate intervals.
Now, which one is Osama? You know, the guy you still haven't caught even though your Very Very Courageous Boss promised to bring justice to him or something like that?
What a bunch of moral midgets and cowards, enabling tyrrany to scare away the bogeyman under their bed. Should we buy them high-powered flashlights or something?
