Renewed Attack on Privacy of Gun Buyers
Nutter, Rendell want assault-weapons ban - NRA says they exploit Liczbinski death (new federal AWB!)
These dogs are going to be in a bind about security in more ways than one.
Of course the fact that this immunity would rob the Trial Lawyers, the single biggest donor group to the DNC, of an chance to sue the telecoms corporations for billions and thus is the real reason Pelosie and her 233 lap dogs are preventing any action on FISA seems to have escaped our self proclaimed watch dogs in our Dinosaur media
It is sad that the Blue Dogs are caving in to Pelosi, the most anti-American Speaker in history.
bookmark for later.
Why is Pelosi still in office?
Blue Weasels is more like it.....
There is no Demagogue that is really ‘conservative’ and when the ‘Rat party runs these types it is merely to sucker voters into supporting the ‘Rat party.
Time for conservatives to start their own party and and split the American vote three ways.
Of course they failed us .. they were supposed to .. the goal is still GET-BUSH!
It doesn’t matter if it’s good for America .. the rule is .. whatever Bush wants .. THAT’S BAD! AND THE DEMS WILL DO WHATEVER TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING.
So much for bi-partisanship. Personally, I’d rather see a little more PARTISANSHIP on the repub side.
On Jan 28, twenty-one Blue Dogs signed a letter urging Speaker Pelosi to move forward with bi-partisan FISA legislation in the House in the same form that had passed the Senate in October. "The Rockefeller-Bond FISA legislation contains satisfactory language addressing all these issues and we would fully support that measure should it ready the house floor without substantial change," they wrote. In their letter the Blue Dogs even highlighted that FISA legislation should include targeted immunity for carriers that participate in anti-terrorism surveillance programs... Pelosi ignored the Blue Dogs' letter and refused to bring the Senate bill to the House floor despite the obvious fact that it would have passed by a simple majority vote. She continues to keep the bill buried even after an urgent request from Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence J.M McConnell. In March, before another Pelosi recess, the Democratic leadership pushed through a 213-197 vote on FISA legislation that they knew would not pass the Senate because it did not include immunity for telecommunication carriers, a provision that President Bush has said is vital to the legislation.Thanks neverdem. We need (in no particular order) tort reform, term limits, drilling in the ANWR, and reclassification of CAIR as a terrorist organization.
