This is just another reason why I can’t be a Democrat, let alone vote for Democrats. They don’t want to appear weak on terror, so they give the Bush Administration everything they asked for in the new surveillance law. Great.
“The new law gives them authority to do far more than simply surveil foreign communications abroad,” he said. “It expands the surveillance program beyond terrorism to encompass foreign intelligence. It permits the monitoring of communications of a U.S. person as long as he or she is not the primary target. And it effectively removes judicial supervision of the surveillance process.”
Here’s the whole story. Read it & weep, as they say.
So are you not going to vote? Or are you voting Independent? There is plenty I don’t like about the Democrats (your cartoon being one of them), but there is a lot more I don’t like about the Republicans.

Indeed, they all suck! We need a parliament!
I vote for the people who never win… It’s very sad. The democrats in my area (RI) are worse than the republicans. Worse still, everyone in this part of the country just assume that democrats are good and republicans are bad, and they don’t bother to check up on what our blue guys are doing down there in DC. They’re not doing good things…
Wanna move to England?

Actually, I’m a member of the Green Party. So I do vote, it’s just that my candidates never win.
