Will Bush compromise on the Protect America Act before...
he goes on his safari to Africa? Of course, the Republicans in the House stood with him once again, forgetting why they lost last election, when he insisted that they vote against it rather than accept a 21-day extension. He had already said it would leave our nation vulnerable. So, if he goes to Africa without compromising on this issue, he is willing to leave our nation vulnerable rather than making a simple 21-day compromise? And the Republicans voted with him. Will he go to Africa without this compromise or will he try to work it our with the Democrats before he goes? What do you think?

2. First of all the notion
that the USA will be any more vulnerable is a crock of crap and an out and out lie. When the Protect America Act expires tomorrow the 1978 FISA Law will still be in effect, Bu$hCo has all the tools necessary to as he says protect America. What this all boils down to is that he wants to protect his, Cheney and the telecom companies asses from accountability for their law breaking. In this case compromise amounts to finding a work around to cover their asses under the cover of protecting America from terrorists.

3. Your exlanation is a bit windy, but you got it.
The Bushies are a bunch of flim flam artists posing as honest men. Is this what Yale turns out these days?
