From the
NY <strike>Toilet Paper</strike>Times:
Two months after vowing to roll back broad new wiretapping powers won by the Bush administration, Congressional Democrats appear ready to make concessions that could extend some of the key powers granted to the National Security Agency
Gosh, I guess you can't trust liberals, even if you are one. The Democrats in Congress are not about their constituents or about governance, but about power. Or, maybe they are finally wising up, that the lefty moonbats who elected them are stupid and if they had their way we would be blind to terror. However, I wouldn't hold my breath that they have learned anything. No, this is just more political gamesmanship:
As the debate over the N.S.A.'s wiretapping powers begins anew this week, the emerging legislation reflects the political reality confronting the Democrats. While they are willing to oppose the White House on the conduct of the war in Iraq, they remain nervous that they will be labeled as soft on terrorism if they insist on strict curbs on intelligence gathering.
See, it is not about principle or about keeping our nation safe....it is about perception.
