Steny Hoyer Sucks! Congressional Dems Once Again Surrender To Bush

What is it with these surrender Dems in Congress(Steny Hoyer, etal.)? Is it Lobbyist money? Is it secret files on them from Bushco spying? Is it all of that and more? They pretty much gave up another HUGE chunk of America's freedom to mister 25% this week with the new FISA disaster. The House takes it up today. I won't even try to cover this disaster except to link you to Glenn Greenwald who's followed it closely this whole time and is far better at analyzing it than I. Here's Glenn:

"..I've now just read a copy of the final "compromise" bill. It's even worse than expected. When you read it, it's actually hard to believe that the Congress is about to make this into our law. Then again, this is the same Congress that abolished habeas corpus with the Military Commissions Act, and legalized George Bush's warrantless eavesdropping program with the "Protect America Act," so it shouldn't be hard to believe at all. Seeing the words in print, though, adds a new dimension to appreciating just how corrupt and repugnant this is..."

"...I'd like to underscore the fact that in 2006, when the Congress was controlled by Bill Frist and Denny Hastert, the administration tried to get a bill passed legalizing warrantless eavesdropping and telecom amnesty, but was unable. They had to wait until the Congress was controlled by Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to accomplish that.."

Continue.

Here's the ActBlue page to donate money to hold these Dem traitors accountable and lead to their defeat in coming elections. ActBlue has already raised nearly $250,000 and they're trying to make it $350,000. All the money going to fund accountability for congressmembers supporting retroactive immunity and warrantless wiretaps. I gave a few bucks and I'm a poor man.

By the way could someone put out an amber alert for Barack "Mr. Hope" Obama on this? He seems to be missing completely.
