Specter threatens to cut off NSA funding

Not enough outrage over domestic spying, GOP senator says.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/268313_spy28.html

Attention Democrats! The Republican Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee doesn't believe there is enough outrage over Bush's illegal wiretapping operation. ARE YOU LISTENING? (Yes Russ, I know you are listening). "<Senator Arlen> Specter said he had informed President Bush about his intention and that he has attracted several potential co-sponsors of his amendment to a spending bill." Several POTENTIAL co-sponsors???? Democrats who give a damn about the civil liberties of this country should be all over this like white on rice!!! Oh wait, maybe this is it, ""We have a Congress which candidly is more concerned about re-election and fund raising and who controls the House and the Senate than in asserting constitutional prerogatives," Specter said. "That's not the way it ought to be.""
Can I get an Amen brothers and sisters?

Specter finally said the obvious. (none / 0)

"We have a Congress which candidly is more concerned about re-election and fund raising and who controls the House and the Senate than in asserting constitutional prerogatives." Maybe the "specter" of his own impending demise from cancer greased his jawbone. His cohorts won't appreciate the Dean-like bluntness of this announcement, no doubt.

What is wrong with these people? (none / 0)

Is a sense of the high calling of public service dead?

How can anyone call himself or herself a Patriot is he or she is unwilling to protect and defend the Constitution against despotism?

Where is their sense of honor? Where is their sense of their own dignity?

Each day we see the moral and intellectual weakness of putting re-election above all other considerations.

You want better candidates? Make them better members of Congress.
