I literally feel sick to my stomach watching the FISA debacle.

[debbierlus]

Utter capitulation by the dems.

The numbers are embarrassing.

Unacceptable. Absolutely ~ totally ~ UNACCEPTABLE.

I am very ashamed of our party today. Reid NEVER should have allowed this up for a vote.

[robinlynne]

1. agreed.

[rateyes]

2. Cowards.

[katty]

3. a shameful bunch!

[Speck Tater]

4. You need to switch to Gilligan's Island reruns. Stat! NT

[still_one]

5. Where have you been the past 8 years? This should come as no surprise

However, even in spite of this we MUST win in 2008 or things will be even worse

We must also hold them accountable and there feet to the fire if we do win, and if they do NOT abide by the Constitution, new people need to run to replace them

[Hydra]

12. And how are we supposed to hold their feet to the fire?

They are well aware of how many people oppose this FISA changes, but they do it anyway.

We have no LEVERAGE over our gov't, and the results are predictable. They do what they want, and tell us to shut up and sit down.

[still_one]

17. vote for those who will do the right thing /nt

[debbierlus]

13. I have been right here. I am not surprised. I am SICKENED

I have watched them AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN pull this type of shit.

I will never get used to it.

[still_one]

18. I hear you /nt

[Eric J in MN]

6. Yes, neither Harry Reid nor Nancy Pelosi....

...should have introduced this in their respective chamber.

[fasttense]

7. I can't watch it either. I heard Dodds Amendment just got shot down by about 15 to16 Democrats.

and all the repukes (no doubt). It was to strip amnesty for unknown crimes by the telecoms and the bushes. They are recessed and will be back about 2:30 EST to finish giving bush his bl*w job. Congress has turned into whores.

[debbierlus]

8. I should add I am very proud of Chris Dodd, and appreciate his efforts on fighting this travesty

There are a FEW exceptional dems. And, I am forever grateful for their tireless work.

[spartan61]

15. I called Dodd's office today

to be sure to thank him for his great efforts.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

9. Blackmailers using the illegal wiretapping to promote more illegal wiretapping...

quite the conundrum for those caught in this vicious web

[Robbien]

10. Dems didn't cave. They want this bill, or at least the majority of them do.

And yes, it is sickening to see our wolves throw off their sheep clothing and parade proudly around in their real persona.

[debbierlus]

11. You are so right.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

14. They barely bother these days to even make any pretense...

...at being something more than a compliant subsidiary of the GOP, and this is NOT a new development. Very disheartening, but no reason to give up. Make pretend opposition party members must be identified and replaced with real democrats -- we need people like Kucinich. Until we do this we will continue to be disenfranchised.

[LSparkle]

16. And Reid had the GALL to send an fundraising e-mail not even HOURS after that vote

It's time for NEW LEADERSHIP in both the House and Senate.

I nominate Dodd or Feingold for Senate Majority Leader. And
ANYONE BUT PELOSI as Speaker of the House!

[VP505]

19. I just got that email

so I canceled my subscription. They asked for a reason so I put FISA Capitulation, Reid is a DINO, he can go solicit the Republicans he seems so hell bent on supporting for contributions!
