I Am Shocked, Shocked that U.S. Gov Abused Blank Check Powers

As usual you asked for it, and you failed to read what was actually written.

Like alreadly stated on this topic - the Democratics had the opporunity to overturn a piece of legislation and they did not, in fact I believe they approved measures to make it even easier.

Both parties have demonstrated that they are unlikely to do what is in the best interest of the nation. So once again the democratic party has demonstrated by their own actions that they are just as unlikely to overturn legislation once its been inacted.

Actaully it is not since you failed to actually read what I stated. I clearly stated that neither party is likely to do the right thing at this time. Your comments are extremely one sided - which makes you a partisan hack. If you think that is a personal jabe then fine but dont ask the question if you dont want to hear the answer, often the answer is not what you wanted to hear

My pained eyes can attest to the fact that I do, indeed, read what you say. And for future reference, responding to every sentence with "You did not read what I say, you fail at comprehension" does not further your argument. Especially when it's not true. :) You're just being trollish.

Since your answer was basically "we can't trust either party to do anything", and since the legislation is Republican in origin, and since there is zero chance that a third party will control the government in January, you have no call to label me a partisan for not changing my vote over the Patriot Act and wiretapping. I have more faith in what will probably end up being an even stronger Dem majority to overturn these laws or retire them, than I do in the Republican party to admit their ideas were bad an unlawful, perhaps even requiring investigations and subpoenas, and working to rectify and overturn these laws.

As for which party is better to fix our government - neither of the current major parties have a chance to fix the government since both of them pander to special interests

Since you propose no realistic alternatives as viable avenues to get these laws removed, you are just ranting and raving, and calling me a partisan and foaming at the mouth and insulting me. But you've got nothing to sell, so it's time to move on. :)
