( I am sorry about the delay of my postings here, but I was having difficulty with the new format. I hope it wasn't too big an inconvenience)
Well, it would appear that the Democrats in the House of Representatives have chosen NOT to do what you sent them there to do! Thursday of last week, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a Bill that would have continued the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) until a better solution could be worked out.
One question for you liberal members of the House…and especially you, Ms. Pelosi: You have had the past six months to hammer out the detail in this, then last week, your were given an additional week. Yet you have no time to discuss the measure and vote on it?
What strikes me as particularly strange, however, is how there was all day to discuss subpoenas for the higher ups at the White House over some frivolous (in the grand scheme) “cover up.” Come on, we’re talking about our country here, the United States of America. Stand up and be counted!
It seems the fear, which is legitimate, comes from the communications companies that handle phone calls from potential (and possibly seasoned) terrorists outside the U.S when they place calls to homes in the U.S.A. These telecommunications companies fear retaliation in the form of billions of dollars in lawsuits, and they need protection by way of retroactive immunity. Sounds reasonable, right?
Not to the libs, God love ‘em. Thursday last, they pulled the most heinous political stunt I have seen in some time. There they were, knowing full well that the FISA law was going to run out on Saturday at midnight, and all they could focus on was a Bush witch hunt, and one for his cohorts.
As an American, this disgusts me. You Jackass liberals can’t hold a candle to the fine elephants we saw come down the steps of the House that day in protest of your refusal to protect this country.
Yes, Nancy Pelosi, yes Sen. Obama (who voted AGAINST the extension), yes Sen. Clinton, who didn’t even bother to show up to vote. Gotta win that race, don’t ya know?
Well, all Mr. Right Opinion can do is sit here in utter befuddlement. Why on this Earth would ANYONE, from ANY SIDE want to allow this law to expire. Well, it now has expired, and we are driving blind through a mine field without knowing what the terrorists are up to.
Please, when you go to vote, PLEASE remember that Barack Hussein Obama, and Hillary Rodham did NOTHING to protect the provisions of FISA…and Obama actually voted against it! Nice job, I feel safer already now that you guys have had Congress for OVER a year, and have accomplished NOTHING!!
I just want to point out to all you peaceniks out there, because of the aggressive position that President Bush has insisted upon, we have not been attacked in this country by an ilsamofacist in the nearly seven years since 9/11.
I am telling you, if the Democrat held Congress keeps taking valuable tools from our intelligence committees, we will be right where we were on 9/10/01. Blind, deaf, and dumb. And we WILL get hit again. Only this time, who will the liberals blame?
On 9/11, they tried to make it America’s fault for policies oversees. That is a poor excuse for such a human tragedy. Truth be known, they hate us because we are the living examples of everything they hate.
We have educated women who actually have seats of power and influence, we have music and dancing, some of us enjoy a cold one while cutting the grass on a hot day. These are just a few of the reasons islamofacists want to kill us. Because we are FREE, and we can choose which faith, if any, we wish to worship. And to them, that just doesn’t set well.
Democrats in the Congress, to include Senators Clinton and Obama, if, God forbid, we are struck again, you will have American blood on your hands. By allowing this bill to run out, you are literally asking for trouble. And I hope that if, again God forbid, we are hit again, that you liberals will be the ones facing the multi-billion dollar lawsuits. Is there something about Homeland Security that you don’t quite understand? Something that maybe I can help you with?
In protest, Republicans, who seem to be a little more serious about protecting the homeland, staged a walkout and filed down the steps of the Capital building and held a press conference. This all goes back to what I have said before, the Democrats always have great ideas for the outcome, but they NEVER have a way to achieve them.
Folks, get on these senators if they are in your district and are trying to give the terrorists one more advantage over the good guys here. I just can’t fathom a man who wants to be president voting “NO!” on a measure like that.
I guess when I get in the booth and I see a democrat for the office of President, I’ll just say, “NO!” too!
