Round 1 of the "Bring Them Home" campaign was tense, but ultimately went to the President. 1-0.
Round 2, a bit less bold on the part of Democrats in Congress, also went to the President. 2-0.
And now, after much bitching (appropropriate from at least one candidate!) and moaning, the Democrats lose the battle over the spy bill also. 3-0!
It's getting so bad, you'd almost expect the soccer guy to come on for this one and announce, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...<BREATHE>...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!"
Do you remember how much Democrats have railed on about Warrantless Wiretapping for more than 2 years??? I mean, dang! Get a new set of talking points!
Well, so much for strongly-held principles. When the President put out word over the weekend to the House and Senate, who voted the Bill over to the President and then headed for the beach, golf course, and home for a nice summer nap, that he needed the bill in order to fight terrorist attacks being planned currently, Democrats finally came to their senses, relented, and thus we have the Spy Bill.
Be careful who you speak to!
So, if we talk to co-workers in India with an outsourcing company, are we red-flagged?
