Remember when Dems were so mad at *'s wiretapping... that they legalized it!

[babylonsister]

Bill Maher on Larry King said a mouthful. What the hell happened, and why? He's right.
:wtf:

[MadMaddie]

1. A friend of mine suggested that they made a deal...

if they approved the wiretapping if there was an agreement that Rove left...

Sounds plausable...but I don't think that's it.

[Somawas]

4. That would be a dumb deal.

Rove is less dangerous in the White House than he is advising Fred Thompson's campaign and ducking subpoenas.

[MadMaddie]

5. I agree....

Rove is always plotting his next move....he is also a coward....

[NC_Nurse]

2. He was great. That line was spot on!

I'm so glad he says EXACTLY what he thinks, even when I don't agree with him.
:thumbsup:

3. The American people have almost zero representation...

on the national level. This is really very sad. Thank dog for people like Bill Maher. I sometimes get irritated with him, but more than not, he lays it out there flat.

6. There were 60 votes in favor of it

16 were Democrats - that means there were 44 Republicans.

The reason was that the administration made the case to the 16 that without legislation, they would not get anywhere near as much intelligence as they have in the past. They bought the idea of allowing it for 6 months - during which time they can "fix" the legislation.

7. There were 57 Democrats that voted for it!

:grr:

Traitors!!!!

[karynnj]

8. OOPS - I posted just the Senate number

The point is that in both Houses it was mostly the Republicans - 100% of them all in lock step (at least n the Senate)

[Breeze54]

9. The rethugs all need to get the boot, next time they're up for election

and so do those Dem traitors!

I just like to keep the numbers straight! I got your point! ;)

[The Vinyl Ripper]

10. Pelosi let it come to a vote..

She had to have known it was going to pass..


A deliberate kick in the teeth to those concerned about civil liberties.

[az chela]

12. I think thats traitor pelosi

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. BINGO

[spooked]

11. Dems would have been blamed for the next Terrorist Attack

just before the elections.

[VP505]

14. Do you seriously

think they won't get blamed anyway. Hell they are still blaming everything happening now on Clinton regardless of the fact he has been out of office almost 7 years.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Guess what? They WILL be blamed in the next

attack, that play is already written in

And they are fools

[spooked]

17. And how do you see it playing out?

just curious...

[Bozita]

13. "Senator Harry Reid traded wiretapping for 'no recess appointments during recess'" ...

... Thom Hartmann on his Tuesday show.

I think Thom nailed it.

Wondering if anything else was included.
