Today's coverup of surveillance crimes and Barack Obama

The Democratic nominee's support for this bill speaks volumes about what he is and isn't.

The letters thread is now closed.

I figured it out...

...on my bike ride home last night.

It's the old bait and switch. With so many Democrats saying, "If I wanted Clintonism I would have voted for a Clinton." And Obama literally drawing fire form all sides, the stage is set for Hillary to come riding in on her white charger to save the Democratic Party. By turning it in to the Republican Party only with some form of healthcare.

PLEASE arrest them

Go ahead. Arrest the President and Vice President for these "violations of the law." PLEASE arrest them. Please. I'd really like to see what would happen to you, and to the Democratic party, if you tried that. PLEASE give it a shot. PLEASE.

You're all talk.

WELL HERE IT IS. THE NEW "TURN THE PAGE" OBAMA!

Yeah, nothing moves a sell-out faster than a desire to "turn the page" and "get past the past." lol This guy is a fake. His entire campaign a fraud. And I'd rather work to change the Democratic complexion of Congress than see him the White House. Maybe if there were more Democrats, they would grow a stronger backbone.

OB -big mistake on Fisa!

"Obama's mask coming off

As you may recall, back in Jan 08 or so, Obama appeared on S&L and removed his mask on national TV. This is the same Obama that has no problem stealing a nomination (with the help of DNC) that belongs to Senator Clinton. I will not vote for him no as he does not need my "racist" vote. remember he said Hillary supporters were not voting for her but were voting against him because they are racist!!! He should be ashamed of himself. I am glad the rest of the world is seeing Obama in the same light as many of us have seen him for a while now."

This is well said,as many of us saw through his mask long ago,why do you think we were and are so opposed to him? BUT ,we were called racists as so many Ob and media people labeled us.Don't some of the Ob rock star fans realise this is a very undemocratic thing to stifle people's dissent ?to me just like the abortion issue and women feeling a little blue comment ,seems we heard that about Hillary in his comment that she was a little blue after the primary.YES she was something but i don't think it was blue.

It's more like his buddy Jesse Jackson said and rightfully so , he was being condesending to blacks in his talks .

Are you actually keeping track of the backward stepping OB's done since Hillary left the campaign? Another thing, that will keep us voting for him but then again we did not feel his change message he was putting out there and his fans were swooning about the NEW kind of politician well, well, it sucks to be a fool! wheres the outrage from people that went crazy over bosnia hype and how dishonest Hillary was supposed to be? Well guess what, that only hurt Hillary and not us. the flip flops OB did in the last two weeks DOES hurt all of us and the FISA thing cannot be dismissed saying like some of his sheep ,well it was going to pass anyway ,so just like in his book he said he was a blank slate and he was what people wanted him to be! Is this what we want ,a chameleon?? a coward? go along to get ahead and damn the standards need in a president!

We do have a choice and its the convention and to those that say its not ,they are still being blindsided and will let our country get a president that makes excuses and the sheep follow at all costs, the country be damned. the DNC better wake up and nominate the person that has credentials to run this country and has plans for many of the needs the country has problems with. If the DNC hadn't interferred in the primary process and gave Ob the push to being the selected nominee we would be focusing on issues.do any of you notice the issues get pushed aside and OB always has someone misquoting,dissing him or like the interview ,it was a mistake,of course the favorite you are rasist if you disagree! that is getting old and AA people should see through his using this as an excuse no matter how much they want An AA in office. Powell would have been better as well as any number of AA people qualified and experienced. WAKE UP this one of the most important times in our country life and the constitution be waylaid isn't the way to lead. make the DNC accountable .

HILLARY DID THE RIGHT THING ALONG WITH OTHER knowledgeable SENATORS...what else do we need before we wake up?

Kangaroo Courts are much better...

So why do we have a FISA Court to begin with...FISA Court judges have been crappin' in their robes ever since DOJ and The Agency began "pingin'" cell numbers without the proper paperwork. You basically have a bunch of lazy, tired, do-it-my-way, shortcut, less is more, federal prosecutors and FBI agents, who could NOT pull together a template form for the court? And the Constitution is just "a piece of paper" per Dubya? Yep, and the oath of office is just a lot of hot air coming out of a void. The telecom industry has deep, deep, deep, pockets...and they NEVER forget a favor.

Hail, to the Chief!

Yes, the Jesus Myth Cycle is all about becoming one with the Divine and each other. I am fairly sure one does not do that by killing women and children that have never harmed you in any way. (or, even if they had)

Peace to you.
