With the spying case, the Democrats are now poised to kick some ass

For so long, while we've understood the fundamentally undemocratic and unAmerican character of the neocons who have come to power, we haven't been able to find an issue with which to demonstrate that character. From the getgo, I have believed that the one way that we could finally and permanently turn the vast majority of the people of our country against them is to somehow highlight their betrayal of the founding fathers' high ideals. Even with how horribly the invasion of Iraq has gone over the past few years, it has not opened the eyes of the public because of the spinning of purposes and the neocons hiding behind the morale of "the troops."

But the same does not hold true today. Not with this spying that Bush has been doing, which is clearly and unbelievably illegal.

Today, we have backed the Repukes into the corner of defending a coward's motto: "Would you rather be free, or dead?"

The betrayal now could not be clearer.

And it looks as if, this time, the Democrats are themselves not afraid. They might just make old Thomas, John, Ben, and George proud, I think.

watching local news today on so cal TV there was quite a bit of comment about the spying issue
mostly showing clips of bush and cheney. the few dems had a word in edgewise.

HOWEVER it was never mentioned that the concern is over the ILLEGAL spying.

not ALL spying, just ILLEGAL spying against NON likely suspects.

The news butts just rambled on about spying in general, making bush sound reasonable.

so the ILLEGAL part is being ignored.

As are most of the Democrats. Even Feinstein has gotten into the mix.

...what in the *Hell* does spying on antiwar activists have to do with fighting terrorism? Since we have no ties with al-Qaeda, they shouldn't be spying on us. Let's really hit them with this hard. I'm livid that they think of me as being no better than a terrorist, & I hope all of you feel the same way.
