Corporate Reach-arounds




Oh
, Just too much to even begin with and it goes on and on.... I want the following saved so up it goes. Like the Finger this admin and their cronies give us.

From Olberman:

And finally, more Republican hypocrisy on the Orwellian “Protect America Act.” When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered up by Unanimous Consent a 30 day extension of the revisions to FISA and the PAA so that the Senate could continue to negotiate in good faith. But Senate Minority Leader Mike McConnell objected to the extension, thereby blocking it.

Turned down an act that the President pretends is vital for our safety. Why? Because Republican Leader McConnell said it did not include the total immunity for the telecom companies which helped the administration break the law by spying domestically. “It’s time for us to get serious,” said Sen. McConnell, “and protect the companies and protect us.” Certainly, you misspoke, Senator. Protect America, protect the people. Nah, the Republican Leader in the Senate actually placed his priority (as) protecting the companies. You wouldn’t want to put just a little daylight, would you, Senator, between your party and that concept of fascism?
