Yeah, they keep banging that gong, hoping it will drown out Obama’s platform. “He just makes speeches, he has no specifics! he has no PLAN.”

Of course, they don’t dare mention their OWN plan, which is pretty much “more of the same, which we’ve already seen doesn’t work.”

And McLame is right—why would anyone think words have the power to make our lives better? “We the People, in order to form a more perfect union….” Useless nonsense, isn’t it?

Well, at least Sen. McCain isn’t shoving his military experience in everyone’s faces, ‘cause he hates doing that, you know….

I hope that Obama will bring change. Change is the hope of the future. If we just hope for change that change can happen and bring us more hope. I am hopeful that Obama will bring a lot of change. I don’t think he will short change us. But short change is better than no change at all. I hope that we change into something better. Bad change is not a good as good change. But there is nothing like exact change.

Hey, I’m still drinking the kool aid. Obama still has my vote…for now.

But the Let George Bush Get Away With It Act of 2008 that he just voted for has made the sugar in my drink turn to salt.

I might drink it but it doesn’t taste very good.

Why am I drinking this salty Koolaid again?

Ah yes, because the alternative is hydrochloric acid or hot air.

How dare the President and congress and the telecom companies try to protect this country. I want Al Queda to plan and plot here in the US. I want another terror attack on our soil to send our markets into a tailspin and take this uppity country down a notch. What is wrong with those folks in Washington.

Yes, telecoms who break the law and violate our Constitutional rights NEED immunity to any consequences! It’s to keep us safe, darn it all!

And how are they supposed to keep us safe if they keep getting held accountable for any actions they take that just happen to be criminal?

Honestly. Some people just don’t THINK.

Just how many American citizens have brought law suits or would like to, I am not talking about trial lawyers here? I have not heard of one single person that claims that they have been spied on. This Telecom immunity ticks of the left because of their trial lawyer lobby. It is that simple. The trial lawyers know that the telecom companies have deep pockets. Why does the democratic party always side with the slip and fall lawyers? There is no criminality in what the the Telecom companies have done. It would be criminal if they did not help the feds.

So what does that have to do with their demanding immunity “just in case we happen to break the law”? What’s with all the cries that “We can’t worry about constitutional rights when our safety’s at stake”?

Spin this any way you want, it’s still a violation of our rights for the sake of a “feeling” of security. The telcos are demanding IMMUNITY to prosecution for LAW-BREAKING. If that doesn’t upset you, you’re not an American.
