What I view to be a crutial test of the Democrats not just in congress but the whole party, is upon us. If they can muster the political will and power to override President Bush's promised veto of the child healthcare bill and then force through their rewright of the domestic servailence bill without giving immunity to prosecution to the telecom companies that were so eager to give away the freedom of their customers, our freedom, then the Democrats have regrown their balls and we the people stand a chance of continuing to have a democracy. If they can resist two presidential vetos then you and I as citizens can look foreward to getting some of our rights back, we can look foreward to a repair of some of the damage the Bush administration has done to the country, and we can be optimistic about democracy again. If the democratic party can realize why the last election was handed to them and develop the testicular fortitude to stare down the same old rhetorical BS the far right which passes itself off as the center has been spewing for the last 6 years.
We all suspected that the NSA has been tapping our calls all along but that doesnt make it any less outrageous.
