Here's the Democratic Hayden fans who support Big Brother

[Armstead]

Here's a list of Democratic votes on Hayden.

IMO those who voted "yes" ought to be ashamed opf themselves. They're also politically stupid for not providing a political alternative to the effort to turn the government into Big Brother.

I have mildly liberal friends who are really frosted about this. Where is too far, and when are these Bozos going to realize we've already reached the "too far" point.

1. Note that Bayh voted no.

Most DUers like to crucify that guy. Alas Levin (my senator) who is usually very good voted yes. I know that to most DUers you are only as good as your last vote, but there are some good democrats who voted yes. There is no senator, even Boxer and Feingold, that I agree with 100%.

4. I realize Democrats can;t be monolithic but.....

...I think on some issues common sense would dictate that they should unify on some basic ideas -- like NO ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE AND DATA-MINING OF CIVILLIANS.

That would include NOT handing the keys to the CIA to the guy who has been a prime mover in this form of Bog Brotherism.

2. Maybe Lamont can use this against Lieberman

3. About Bayh

He has consistently voted with Bush for about 4 1/2 years, now...all of a sudden, and since he decided he wanted to run in '08' he suddenly starts voting for the people. I am very suspicious of Bayh's motives.
