Comments on: John Kerry Needs His Mouth Sewn Shut http://nmallory.exit-23.net/20060307/john-kerry-needs-his-mouth-sewn-shut & Other Discombobulated Thoughts Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:46:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Big Dog http://nmallory.exit-23.net/20060307/john-kerry-needs-his-mouth-sewn-shut#comment-1748 Big Dog Tue, 07 Mar 2006 22:30:16 +0000 http://nmallory.exit-23.net/20060307/john-kerry-needs-his-mouth-sewn-shut#comment-1748 I think that it is interesting to note that the Republicans vote the party line despite what America wants when a majority of AMerica supports the core beliefs. It is hard to look at a red and blue map and not see that the majority has a conservative bent. The blue areas are large population centers and the Democrats pander to them and vote against what most people want because of votes. Case in point, the Roberts and Alito confirmations. The majority of Americans believed they should have been confirmed yet most Democrats voted against them for partisan reasons. They were not echoing the will of their constituents. As for Senators, they represent a state. If they vote how their state wants then they are voting the will of their constituents. I don't see the Patriot Act as an erosion. I had a discussion about this with someone who told me that library records and computer use could be looked at. Well, taxpayers pay for those things so they have a right to know how they are being used. I do not see any way my rights have been eroded since 9/11. I have the same ones I did then.

They didn't have that right before 9-11. Why should they now? I don't agree that Republicans are just voting how their states want them to. That certainly doesn't explain Snowe or Collins...and I really hope they start paying attention because I'm starting to hear some grumbling from the local masses. I will say that I much prefer my correspondence with Sen. Snowe than with Sen. Collins. Now if Sen. Snowe would just stop holding her nose when voting the party line and stop voting the party line, life in Maine would be a little warmer for her. ;) And yet, now airport security has the right to take my friend’s 9 year old son into a separate room to search and interrogate either or both of them and she can say nothing about it.

It is the ACLU and lawsuits that fight profiling. You see, we can not search Arab men between the ages of 17 and 45 despite the fact that this demographic is responsible for all the acts of terror in God knows how long. Instead we search 9 year old kids and blue haired old ladies neither of which demographic has ever been a terrorist. Thanks to the ACLU and groups like them, your rights are gone.
