SELLOUT BASTARDS!

What do you know! A guy goes away for a couple days and returns to find that The Democratic Party is nothing but a shiny new rubber stamp for the Bush Disaster. I can't say that I had much faith in the Democratic party to begin with but I didn't think that would 100% wuss out on this one. They really shit the bed on this and I think its time we called them out on it. Several Democrats have joined with the Republicans to reissue and strengthen the NSA wiretapping bill. Sweet. Being big on the issue of privacy, I see this huge powergrab by the Administration as a slap in the face to the American people and the fact that the Democrats rolled over on is a betrayal of the trust of their voters. Although the Democratic Presidential candidates made the right choice 16 democratic senators and 41 democratic members of the house completely sold out. So why did these democrats sell out? I think the answer may lie in the fact the President Bush threatened to keep congress in session over their summer vacation if they didn't cooperate. Thats right you heard me right I believe that these congress men and women care more about their vacation than your rights. As this constitutional crisis comes to a head we can see who is willing to stand and fight for our rights and who would rather go on vacation. So much for the Democratic opposition as Orwellian as it may seem there are no longer a democratic party and a republican party just The Party and Big Brother IS watching...
