Cave In

Is anyone surprised that the Senate Intelligence Committee chose not to investigate the President's illegal wire-tapping. Anyone? Didn't think so.

We all knew how this was going to turn out, didn't we? Sure, Olympia Snowe and Chuck Hagel and other "moderate" Republicans "said" they didn't think it was legal, and they "said" they thought it should be investigated, but we all know that Republicans lie like the rest of us breathe - it just comes naturally. Wonder how much those "moderates" were paid to vote against an investigation?

This is the email I sent Sen. Specter who "represents" Pennsylvania, along with the soon-to-be-jobless Rick Santorum.

Senator,

I cannot even find the words to express my absolute fury regarding today's vote by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Once again, this Republican-dominated Congress has shown itself to be no more than a rubber-stamp for George W. Bush, much like the Politburo of Soviet Russia.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has said, more or less, that whatever the White House does is fine, no matter what. The Committee has just informed the citizens of the United States that we are in fact ruled by a monarch with unlimited powers, that Congress and the Supreme Court are little more than functionaries, and that nearly 230 years of democracy has - for all intents and purposes - ended.

I have now committed myself, with countless other Americans - liberal and moderate, Democrat and Republican - to making sure that you and every other Republican incumbent are removed from office. I also commit myself to removing every spineless, gutless Democrat who has allowed this rubber-stamping to continue without speaking up, and stated as much in an email to the DCCC Chairman, Rahm Emanuel.

I want my America back, Mr. Senator, and I'm willing to fight in the Second American Revolution - if that's what it takes - to restore the Constitution as the highest law of the land.

Sincerely yours,
