poor peewee
Like brightstar and many others, you confuse Glenn's posts with the comments of those you claim come here to "suckle on his demented tetes."
The more extreme positions floated around here tend to come from posters. I think Glenn genuinely tries to understand what is going on in politicians' minds---which is why I read his posts.
He's said many times that many Democrats in the Senate seem to agree with the administration's perspective. Generally he follows this with a description of the gulf between their apparent thinking and that of their constituencies.
Just to fill you in, since you haven't been following along. No need to gloat, in other words.

Elephantman - they are coming for you
The far left, whose default position is to blame American [sic] first, and who regard the war on terror as a purely domestic law enforcement issue.
-- Elephantman
I've been hearing lately about how the terrorists are recruiting Americans because they need someone who "looks and acts like an American" and can cross the border easily. Regardless of the truth of this proposition, it will be used as an excuse to extend today's warrantless surveillance powers. No longer will we hear about the need to wiretap "Americans who communicate with terrorists overseas"; the simpler formulation will be the need to wiretap "Americans".
They are coming, and they're coming for you.

Revolting
This is as callow and cowardly a cave-in as comes to mind in recent memory. And Billary didn't bother to vote. That shows where she's at- hiding in a bunker when the war's on. Any fence sitters out there: Obama was there and voted against the disgusting and antidemocratic amnesty for these fascist toads. her cowardice proves her incapacity for real leadership. This is literally revolting.

Hillary
The Dodd/Feingold amendment to remove telecom immunity from the bill just failed by a whopping vote of 31-67 -- 20 votes shy of the 50 needed for a passage. A total of 18 Democrats joined all Republicans in voting for immunity: Bayh, Inouye, Johnson, Landrieu, McCaskill, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, Stabenow, Feinstein, Kohl, Pryor, Rockefeller, Salazar, Carper, Mikulski, Conrad, Webb, and Lincoln. Obama voted against immunity, and Hillary Clinton was the only Senator not voting. Thus, the breakdown on the vote was similar to what it always is:
I think Hillary just lost my vote. I wish we could redo the NY primary.

Shooter and "American exceptionalism"
Certainly this would put us more in the mainstream of the global community. Shame on you for promoting American exceptionalism. Shame.
American exceptionalism? Land of the free and home of the brave? The old tired, weary, teeming masses yearning to be free? The shining city on a hill?
That's so pre-9/11.
Now we're just another emerging police state with a rapidly deteriorating third-world economy.

Petition
Well, I've just signed the petition, so now I can be sure that I will have my phone tapped, my emails read, and I will be denied entry into the U.S. and A. Because that's how we roll in the Olden New Old...

Shameful, shameful, shameful
I wrote to my Senators and Representatives (all Republicans in Texas, sadly), I signed petitions. I called AT&T and said I would drop them as soon as there was a competitive alternative!
When are the voters going to be more important to politicians than special interests?

Disgusting, Disgraceful & Terribly Disappointing.
The Republicans have molested and abuse the Constitution now for 8+ years and just when it was time for the Democrats to come to rescue, we get treated to this gross malfeasance.
Liberty is hang by her fingernails and Harry Reed and the rest of the DemocRATS have joined the Republicans and are stopping on her hands.

Tom;
Billary...
-- tom payne
The "Billary" thing is really tired and does nothing for your position. I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton in the California primary. I voted for Obama. Calling Hillary Clinton "Billary" is as inane as making a BFD out of Obama's middle name. It's just irritating.

The guilded aristocracy
Democrats are Republicans in sheep's clothes.
They went to the same universities, and they attend the same $1000 a head charity balls. Their kids attend the same private schools, they own the same blue chip stocks. Their family trees are intertwined, and the money runs back to the Mayflower. They don't care about public healthcare because they can afford private, they don't care about public schools, because their kids will never attend them, they don't care about the state of inner city crime, because they don't go near those parts of town, and they don't know anybody who lives there, and, here's the kicker, neither did their parents, nor their parents' parents. As tacky and trite as it sounds, this is an old boys club, and they don't share our values.

we know Major Tom's a junky
ann archy, yours is exactly the kind of revolution I'd dance to. And civility's overrated, for the most part... it's just that you tend to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Occasionally, though, there's no substitute for a bif old pile of shit.

Shooter242 is a mobster.

Isn't that what the Bosses say when one of their Captains conducts a hit?
Well, shooter242 does live in New Jersey.
