Some unvarnished source. Hillary Clinton is a unilateralist.She distrusts International institutions and her support for the war was not an anomoly.Regime change was the Clinton policy and she will not even take nuclear weapons off the table in Iran.Her Wall Street contributions are 10 times that of Obama. She is Mama Warbucks when it comes to the military industrial establishment and gives them whatever they want. She learned her lesson with Mrs Arafat and now will support Israel blindly whatever they do.
They bombard Lebanon with cluster bombs she votes agaist banning them in civilian areas. Obama voted to ban their use . She favors the use of landmines like the millions planted by Israel in Lebanmon. They mainly blow children to bits but thats ok if Israel wants to use them. The fense on Palestinian land is ok ,settlements in violation of international and US brokered agreements are ok as well. Obama favors dialogue and common ground
If you think he feigns his opposition to war then you have not heard him speak against it and he did it while running for the Senate when that position was not well accepted. He has over 400,000 on line contributors and doesn’t take PAC money. He favors public financing and we need to get behind that because $ has corrupted our government. Who do you support Lyndon LaRouche? America is not for a socialist greed but a safety net and complete open oportunity to better oneself and advance in society based on a government that promotes the general welfare.Obama may not be all things for all people but he is the best chance I have seen in my lifetime to get our government back in the hands of the people and regain our respect in the world

Time after time she fails to represent her constituents. Support Mukasey to indemnify waterboarding and torture for ” W” because he allows Israel to get billions of dollars in defense and do what they please in Gaza and the West Bank.He will invade Iraq and Iran because that is what Likud wants. Today they announced building in East Jerusalem in violation of all agreements like the fence and the settlements that we pay for with our tax dollars. She will get the AIPAC dollars and the circle jerk will continue, and it really doesn’t matter if our Constitution is trampled in the process. It is wrong-she is wrong- and we better wake up.Americans are genuinely concerned about the security of Israel and want a just peace but honest brokers we are not and Dianne is one of the reasons.We defend Israel now we need to defend our Constitution.

Bloggers need to get the word out Mary Landrieu needs to go down her conributors need to be contacted her constituients need to be informed She votes like a Republican so whats the difference send a few of these guys back to the real world and maybe they will get the message – the same for Tim Johnson in South Dakota who was again in a comma.These people were warned. Diane ” Israel First Feinstein gave us Mukasey and voted for this as well. Contact Republicans and Democrats and express outrage over this invasion of our Constitutional Rights and lets petition for a Constitutiuonal Convenntion and look at the independent requirment data for filing against these facists.
It is long overdue the way this country is going

Taxpayers dollars were used for this invasion of privacy it only stopped when the bills were not being paid. AT&T and most co partricipated I believe their was one comp[any or two that refused also even if you were not a subscriber if calls were routed through them thay were recorded - and this was done on all traffic in numerous routiung stations for 5 years until a At&T whistleblower spilled the beans.|
THIS SHOULD BE SUBJECT OF MISUSE OF FUNDS CLASS ACTION SUIT ANYONE WILLING TO SIGN ON

This from the NPR website:

1974: Plug Pulled on Nixon and his Plumbers

The House Judiciary Committee issues articles of impeachment against Richard M. Nixon, in part, for his role in authorizing wiretaps on 17 individuals, in a conspiracy to influence the outcome of the 1972 presidential election.

1975: Congress Gets an Earful at Church Hearings

Headed by Sen. Frank Church, a Senate committee looking into CIA and FBI intelligence operations hears a laundry list of abuses, including hundreds of warrantless wiretaps placed on antiwar and civil-rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as electronic surveillance of labor union leaders, student groups, newsmen and even former White House staffers and a U.S. Congressman.

My, how quickly people forget. Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it.

Last week, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said that Bush authorized those waterboardings and would consider doing so in the future depending of circumstances. In other words, our Commander-in-Chief is a self-confessed practicing war criminal. Further, under the Yamashita Standard of the Doctrine of Command Responsibility, those in a positions of authority must act to prevent war crimes within their spheres of responsibility. Yamashita was executed for not doing so.

Specifically, Nancy Pelosi is preventing the House from taking action to stop Bush from committing further war crimes, which makes her just as guilty as Yamashita.

It boggles my mind. What ARE they thinking?

Thanks Scarecrow for the well worded and thought out post, it covers all the bases about the threats that this Version of thew FISA bill represents… Again Thanks..

I signed again and sent the petition to all my contacts and I included the following remarks:
This FISA bill must be stopped. Our constitution and the future of our country depend on it. An unfettered executive is expressly what the founding fathers fought against and included in the land mark document our constitution safe guards against such a unitary executive.
Please do everything possible to stop this FISA bill from becoming law. It will foment distrust in our government and surely there will be other Consequences that pale in comparison to any other thing this country has endured in it’s history.

“We Need a Constitutional Democratic Party”

No doubt

“Obama voted for the Constitution in early votes [update: and against cloture]; he was not present for the final vote; we will need more “yes we can.” Clinton chose to be somewhere else. I assume we will not again hear campaign arguments about voting ‘present.’”

Remind me why I’m supposed to feel good about voting for either one of these irresponsible slugs? Oh yeah, so a monster doesn’t win?

Constitutional usurpation under the color of law aided and abetted by “Asselephants” after the fact for the benefit of a “corporate aristocracy” hell bent on endless profit at all cost. Perpetuate the existing energy delivery system by stealing Iraqi Oil and selling it to US. Just as the colonies were mercantiled by a corrupt English King and his corporate cohorts in colonial crime. The Iraq Oil Plot!!!!! 60.8 billion in profit for Exxon Mobile while we Americans spend 11 billion dollars a day to fill our gas tanks, their cash cow………… WTF!!!!

Is it live or is it “Memorex” No just brainwashed minds………..

How about American protectionism for oil and auto!!!!! Done our economy real well over 35 years??

yesterday, I email my Senator - Feinstein about my personal views on her
voting record regarding siding with this Administration. Below is my letter:

Just today, as you know, the Senate voted to save the telecom’s from facing the courts and giving the this Administration a blank check to do what they want, again! WHY?

Just after the vote was done in the Senate, the news wires were flooded with what we knew was true, that indeed the telecom’s did tap American’s with out warrants, per the White House Press Secretary, D. Pereno. Why?

What are you doing to protect our Liberties? Why is it that you side each time with this Administration? Why? Where is my voice through you?

I may be a small part of what you do, but I have voted each time in your support, but you have not done the same for me. Each day, I hope that the Senate and my Senators will start to voice what the people need and want and have asked for, but each time it has been struck down with the support going to back large corporations that save them from the people and lawsuits! ME! Why?

I am so frustrated with the lack of government, yet there is to much of it! You get health care on my dime, but I suffer from not getting it?

Senator Feinstein, my lack of understanding the major details in what comes across your desk may be large, but what I do understand is when my Senator votes to support and give immunity to both this Administration and Corporations and allow fear be your vision. Why?

For years, its been the same thing and for years to come it will remain that way unless new and fresh minds enter government. Start thinking in a different direction and with future minds .

This Administration has left government in a trash dump mode and the smell has impermanent so deep that every agency is effected and yet your leadership has major influence both in vote and voice just sides with them because NO one yet has been held accountable. WHY?

In closing, you have foster the problem with out explanation? why?

Is doing the right thing the right thing to do? If there are reasons beyond the publics knowledge, that I understand, but with out some feedback, I can only assume you play in to the politics of the moment.

Sincerely,
my name.
