"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I guess that means 85% of our Senators are guilty of treason.

Found that one on FB :)

“Eighty-five of 100 U.S. senators voted to renew the president’s power to indefinitely detain Americans, denying them of their fundamental right to due process.”

Unamerican bastards.

cochran and wicker would only surprise me now if they were to do the RIGHT thing. No need for me to contact them anymore.

Since I'm a gal, I can say it:

I'm FED UP with the female US Senators. Not one of them ever gets it right. They never express an independent thought. There is not even one of them who voted against this horrible legislation. Not one of them stood by Ted Cruz in his 21 hours.

[firebrand]

Would everyone think about maybe sending this out on their personal e-mail lists? Many people I talk to have never heard about the indefinite-detention business. They are shocked—both left and right—when they hear about it.

[firebrand]

Good work, Oregon. You have a fine liberty-loving tradition.

[zeugma]

On so many topics, in so many ways, this is what's happening...

Both the democrat and republican parties want you to be slaves.

[Jane Long]

BTTT!

[LibLieSlayer]

Yeah, neither one cares about anything but wealth and power for themselves... both are a real trent lott!

If you can cite the actual legislation (not commentary, not a news report, the actual law itself) allowing indefinite detention of American citizens, please do. Thus far Cruz’s office has not.

Stop asking me to do the research for you. That is a famous trick to get out of a tight spot. If you don’t believe Cruz and all those other senators who voted against it, I feel sorry for you.
