When Republicans spend the majority of their time passing bills to repeal Obamacare 37 times...
... they aren't doing the job they were elected to do.
And now they are outraged that they didn't know what was going on with the NSA even after they've voted numerous time for FISA bill and have been notified of what it's in.
Was funny this morning listening to Congressmen on the TV tube saying that even though they have been voting on the bill they didn't know what was in it.
A bunch of incompetent Republican asshole!

not that they have a problem with what the NSA has been doing- which is stuff they, along with most Democrats in Congress, helped push into law during W's "War on Terror". Little too late for them to take to the "fainting couches" now but if they genuinely want to see these sort of things curtailed, well, as legislators, they certainly have the power to do so. And if they care about it enough, they could even get restrictions passed into law by a veto-proof majority though I'm not sure that President Obama would be objecting to signing some restrictions into law.
It's pretty embarrassing BTW to vote for a bill like this and try to pretend you don't know what it's in it too.
