If they TRULY care about the Telecomms and about the help that the Telecomms will give to protect the country, they (the GOP) should be happy that the Telecomms are now bribing the Democrats... That way, the Dems will cave in "in the interests of the country" (of course :^/) and give the Telecomms all the protection they need.... EVERYONE wins.... :D Michale..... But why should the GOP be whining??

While the castigate the Telecomms for being evil violators of the people's privacy out of one side of their mouths, they are thanking the Telecomms out the other side of their mouths for all the money that is being given... Someone remind me again, the difference between the DEM Party and the GOP?? Cuz I just don't see it... Michale..... I am also constrained to point out the blatant hypocrisy of the Democrats...

As indicated, the Dems are just as adept at lining their pockets at the expense of the people they are supposed to represent.. "Legalized Bribes".. I like that term. It's so damn appropriate and dead on ballz accurate.. That's why I am kinda excited about an Obama presidency.. It's the best chance to really shake things up in DC and remind the entire town that it's a government OF the people and FOR the people.. Then again, Obama could just be sale ol, same ol... Time will tell.. Michale..... I am glad to see that the problem is recognized not as a GOP or a DEM problem, but as a POLITICS problem.

Even with the so-called reforms that came with the McCain/Feingold bill there has been little improvement. In fact Sen. McCain himself is trying to back out of his promise to take public funds if he is the GOP candidate. Campaigning has become a big business in itself and there is just too much money involved not to mention jobs that those in the "campaign" industry are very happy to keep the status quo. ...Stan I am not holding by breath for a change any time soon.
