Reply #124: I couldn't disagree with you more. The worst of the worst are not those that are your enemy,

but those that you think are on your side and then shoot you in the back.

This isn't just some issue that they voted different than I would have liked. It is waaaay more important. There is only one major issue before us, to return democracy. You say they are 80% on our side and I say they are 100% on the side of Bush. Their vote was a vote against democracy, against the Constitution, against everything a Democrat should stand for. I don't care if they passed a hundred min wage bills, this vote said they do not support freedom, they choose Bush the King instead. They not only voted to continue his law breaking spying, but they virtually said that his breaking the law was ok. Our only chance is to convince the American public that Bush is breaking laws and that the Democrats will not tolerate it. Oh yes, this issue as you call it gave Alberto Gonzales permission to spy on anyone as he see fit. I can not express how terrible I believe this vote was. The spying will give them the edge to steal the elections of 2008.
