Seriously, other than the fear of looking weak on "terrorism"..

[choie]

could somebody explain to me why the goddamn democrats are going to cave on the FISA bill?

[thunder rising]

1. Because the 19% wing of the Republican party are "REALLY REALLY" mean!

I mean REALLY!! All of them.

[scarletwoman]

2. Because they would hate to lose those campaign donations from the telecom industry. (nt)

[liberal N proud]

3. Because the Times Square explosion was probably just a warning shot

Just a wild ass guess but it is pretty strange that we had this recruiting office explosion after the Democrats stood up to bu$h twice.

Maybe they did it and then told key Congress members that there would be more if bu$h couldn't listen to Americuns talk on their telephones.

If it were really terrorist, it would have happened when Times Square was busy.

4. because the illegal wiretapping produced lots of blackmail

materials on members of Congress
