Never in my life, and I have lived a long time, have I witnessed to
this degree such self-serving, corrupt, lying, pandering, destructive,
completely unbelievable and dangerous American politicians. What in the
hell are they doing to us? I do not care or accept any twisted political
logic or reasoning being tossed around for justification. Afraid of
loosing an election? Who cares? Yes, there may be casualties, but in
the "everything matters" environment congress has created, casualties of
congressional positions are the least they could sacrifice, given what
is at stake. They have no problem in telling our troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan there will be casualties, ultimate casualties, while they try to fix what
Washington (In total!) has broken. If our troops should be expected to
suffer casualties, then the democratic congress that helped put them in
harm's way can suffer some of their own. Hardly a fair trade-off, but
it's a start.

The current popular reasoning of the majority democratic congress to allow the constitutionally invalid FISA bill to slither through, with telecom immunity intact is nothing short of blatant cowardice and a dereliction of their sworn duty to protect and defend the constitution and the laws of the land. And most certainly not what Americans elected them  to achieve. Make no mistake, if the senate votes to pass this bill today, a very dangerous precedent will be set allowing future administrations to continue the abuses that have rocked America to it's core.
