I should have left the Tea Party out of it, and used the word Republicans but it is getting hard to differentiate between the two anymore. DR. Paul's seed is trying to fight this bill. Any Senator who voted for this bill, no matter what letter is after their name have failed their oath to uphold the Constitution.
I sent a letter to both Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio and told them neither one of them would ever get my vote if they voted for this assualt on my constitutional freedoms. I actually said, even if Satan ran against them I would vote for the devil himself because I know my current Senators from my state do not care for the freedoms, that make this country great. If Satan won and did not honor his oath to defend the constitution, I would vote the Lord of Darkness out as well.
My civil liberties are being reduced little by little one bill at a time all in the name of protecting my family. How about protecting my freedoms as well.
I find it ridiculously easy to tell the difference between the Republicans and the Tea Party, but I admit I may be closer to the issue than you. You guys seem to think of the Tea Party as a super conservative verison of the Republicans, but the Tea Party's primary target in 2010 were
Republicans, not Democrats. They want to take over the Republican party, not join the establishment. Of course over time we'll see how that works out...
But even using Republicans, when they are a minority in the Senate, doesn't really get to the core of the problem. The core hypocrisy is all of the liberal Democrats who voted for this, when they opposed every anti terrorism measure of the Bush administration. Sometimes not because the measures were themselves bad, but because of the slippery slope. Well, this legislation is the bottom of the slippery slope and they voted
for it. And it wasn't even close, it was a landslide vote.
So if you are not going to vote for Nelson because he supported it (no support for Rubio is a given) what about Obama? It's his measure after all.
