The FISA vote which just happened should tell you why mccain MUST NOT BE ELECTED
Not only because of the FISA bill itself, but more important because there should be no doubt that the Democrats WILL cave in to the scalia and thomas type judges mccain would appoint to the Supreme Court

4. Nancy Pelosi fucking sucks.
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 11:37 AM by IanDB1
She said she hates the bill, but has to vote yes on it anyway, and then practically begs everyone else not to vote on it like she's doing.

A caller to C-SPAN said Pelosi is knowingly voting against the wishes of her constituents.

13. What about that Golub lady?
I just tried to donate to her campaign, but PayPal sent the donation to Stacey Tallitsch instead.

I'm looking into that right now.

15. I would never suggest that someone shouldn't donate to Golub or Shehan
I just think it will be next to impossible for Pelosi to lose her seat.

I am in the South Bay, and don't know much about the opposition against pelosi however, I do agree we have a problem

14. I just found out the Primary is over and Pelosi won with 90% of the vote.
And I just probably wasted $25.

16. Nothing like that is wasted, and I didn't mean to imply that it was
That in itself sends a message, win lose or draw

I suspect Pelosi, Harman, and others are getting a very clear message, which they have been ignoring

9. and that part is good, because the current law is just fine. It is a disgrace however
that so many would vote against the 4th ammendment

11. Screw McCain....the gutless wonders in the Democratic "leadership" are the ones
who should not be re-elected to the seats in congress they used to help destroy the Constitution and turn their backs on the will of the American people.
