    I'm too cynical sometimes

    I really have to wonder if those voting for this bill are whores to the money the Telcoms have thrown at this issue, if they really don't care about the Constitution and the rights it once bestowed on its citizens of if the spying is really working out for this criminal ad-miss-administration and Bush has been given damaging dossiers on all these clowns that allow him to continually blackmail them into submission. I really hope it's the last - can that many really not care about those they are sent to represent in that cesspool that is what our government now is?
