I choose Grayson.

How much longer do we have to hear about how Obama was a Constitutional law professor? A person doesn't have to be a lawyer to understand this whole FISA thing is completely at odds with the 4th Amendment.

Machel featured a click of the Church Commission from '76.
The panel was expressing dismay over the fact that the NSA was collected telegrams - a practice that had been going on for DECADES.

we are almost(?) living under Big Brother.
We have no expectation of privacy in any part of our lives. This is totally unacceptable.
If average Americans realized ( and the majority are far too ignorant of this) how citizens of great 1st world countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark and most other European countries are respected by THEIR governments and employers, they would get rid of this unregulated, intrusive, capitalist society and model "our" government after theirs.
Unfortunately we are governed by the .05% of the wealthiest Americans who know that their wealth and power are precarious
and feel that they must restrict our liberties and have total knowledge of our every thought. They are afraid that if the majority of us
actually knew or experienced the freedoms of these citizen controlled countries, we would do away with the ( U.S. oligarchs) control
and claim our freedoms, power, government and the leeches who get wealthy from our labor.
We must ignore our two corporate owned political parties and vote for people before profit. When (if) this happens, the people that we elect (if elections are closely monitored) to actually represent US will have much work to do to dismantle this all controlling "government" and shape it into an entity that actually represents the majority, not the money.
Yes, we need a large government to inspect and regulate everyday things, so that we are healthy, educated, protected, etc... we do not need a "stasi" style corporate government whose main job is to protect the wealthy by all means possible. That is what we currently have.

They are going to be trying hard to drive him back out of office the first chance they get. I'll be writing him a check for his next campaign.

11. What makes Democrats different from Republicans? Can you imagine a Republican

do this if the President was Republican. Put a different way, did any Republican stand up to Boosh?

True Democrats want the truth. Sadly there are lots of folks that say they are Democrats but have Republican principles.
