When it comes to repealing Bush's FISA law,

[ProSense]

what are the chances Democrats will find as many Republicans to go against Bush as Democrats who sold out to him?

One of the most infuriating things is that a repeal will now require a veto-proof majority (meaning 16 or 17 Republicans) because Bush is never going to sign it.

3. I know. I keep iterating our reps should not send bills through

at the current time, especially in the areas of our rights or war for that matter. Some have bought into the idea you can change things by this method at this given time.

5. what makes you think they'll try to repeal them?

wouldn't it have been easier just not to vote for them if they really were against them>?

6. and the next thing we will be hearing is that that can't get enough

votes to change it...it has been there plan all along...and if you think the dems are going to get us out of Iraq, you are crazy..just look at the front page of DU and see what hoyer has to say about Iraq...

7. No doubt

at least one will claim that they don't have the votes for repeal. I sure hope that everyone on this board that has a Dem House member or Senator that voted for this crap takes the time to call or better yet visit their Home Office and give them an earful while they are at home.

8. Kick! n/t

9. Dems allow themselves to be played over and over again...

...they're like an abused spouse who continuously gets beat-up and keeps going back for more, thinking it'll be different next time.

10. Have any of the Dems who voted w/ R's

received any sort of warning or sanction from Reid or Pelosi for their votes? Loss of a key committee appointment or help w/ fundraising, etc.? Just wondering.
