McCain Gets GOP Nomination, And Howard Dean Comments

: Howard Dean's statement:

"John McCain is out of touch with the issues facing Americans each day. Instead of offering solutions to the high cost of health care, help for the middle class or ideas to create jobs, McCain offers 100 years in Iraq and more of the same Bush budgets that have heaped debt onto our children and damaged our economy. Instead of ending the influence of lobbyists in Washington, he's hired them to run his campaign. The closer voters look at the real McCain record, the more they will realize he cannot be trusted to deliver the change America wants."

  I have been tracking down McCain's record on many issues and votes, and when I have completed my research, many people are going to be surprised at what a shithead John McCain really is.

Rep.Rep. Nancy Boyda Not Ready For FISA Shredding Of Constitution

  LeavenworthTimes:

  "I am adamant about protecting the Constitution. They're giving nothing in return for it. We're not getting any more security and they're shredding the Constitution," said U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda, D-Second Dist.

"What shocks me is how members of Congress from Kansas would so readily give up 230 years of our Constitution without gaining any additional security," Boyda said.

"The Bush administration wants the cases flat out dismissed," said Michelle Richardson, a legislative consultant for the ACLU. "That doesn't just save the telecoms money, but it buries Bush administration wrongdoing."

"The question is why the president is completely unwilling to tell Congress what he did," Boyda said. "It seems to me it's probably about domestic surveillance."

"This time, what they are proposing will absolutely gut it — there will not be a FISA left," Richardson said.

"If you are willing to have the government come into your home and into your personal life without any probable cause and without any oversight or any warrant, then you have just given up our democracy," Boyda said.
In 1759, Benjamin Franklin wrote, "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."   Entire Article

  In case you have not noticed it yet, We The People, are getting screwed!
