Stop your whining Americans you think this is about terrorism? more likely to better control the drug trade/financial markets, your government actually encourages terrorism and benefits more from it then the so called "terrorist" you people s**t your pants over.
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."-Benjamin FranklinAnd he's right. Period.
Great attitude....unfortunately your vote is insignificant and will not decide the outcome of this election.So please vote for Bob Barr who opposes this bill and convince others to do the same.
"If he was REALLY against it, he would vote no and condemn anyone who voted yes while he was out on the campaign trail."@ssdded It should be that easy but it's not. This would be childs play for McCain to use as cannon fodder ageist Obama. I can see the "OBAMA IS SUPPORTING THE TERRORISTS!" adds in my head already. Also this bill added in FISA oversight of these wiretaps in the future. <a class="user" href="http://www.the-peoples-forum.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=1878">http://www.the-peoples-forum.com/cgi-bin/readart.c ...</a>"RENDELL: When you're in the Senate, you have to weigh the entire bill. The bill on FISA was court supervision of wiretaps. That's a huge victory for individual rights in America. Senator Obama believed that was more important, that he had to go along and vote for it even though it didn't have the immunity provision or did have the immunity provision, but he has pledged later on in the Senate to try to strip the immunity position."As I understand it future wire taps are not done by warrant but they MUST go through the FISA court and can not last more then 30 days. I don't like that he is not voting ageist it but he did do something to lessen it. Personally I'm going to trust him on this one, I think he did all that he could and this is the best course of action until he gets in office and can make real change.
The fact that neither of us can prove anything to each other - resulting in the typical schoolyard flame fest - yes I would say we are done here. At least I can say I was mature and well mannered throughout our escapade.
How in the f**k does giving away your kids freedom protect them, we were advised against this by the founders who had just escaped from tyranny. Don't have any kids, we will all be better off.
