Like many of my fellow Kossacks, I spent the entire weekend spewing flames. I heard the beginnings of the GOP NEO-CON attempt to frame the Presidents illegal self proclamation to being King of the United States with no responsibilities to our laws on the books. He stated that this was a different kind of war and he and he alone was the one person to determine how to keep us safe while
not protecting basic liberties. emphases mine.
OK...So I dreaded walking into my workplace this morning to a crowd of right wing cheerleaders who'd been glued to Fox News all weekend.I knkew for certain they had all the talking points down pat. I was getting pretty depressed because for the most part I'm alone at work. Some liberals are there but they are meek and quiet. Not like me.
BUT....I heard something different. I heard some very pissed off people. Some more pissed than others but non-rhe-less they were all concerned. Some of these folks are pretty damn smart. They do their homework which is something I appreciate so I am not talking to or listening to Rush Lindbaugh feed back all day long...which makes me puke.
A 5 minute FISA visit is all that is necessary. Or even do it and the rectroactively go to FISA. That was some of the comments. I just kept my mouth shut and let the debate go on. The Fox banner carriers were shut down. The Repubs wanting to know why one man feels he had the right to circumvent law because he wants to was fun to be a spectator to.
Fellow Kossacks....this issue will bring George W Bush down. They want it dropped. They do not want investigations. They know Republicans might bitch and gripe but will tow the line. In fact many I heard today were upset but said they'd hang in there with Bush.
The moderate Republicans are right on the truth edge of the fence at this moment. Main street media will not push them into truth land. We need to keep the heat on. I'll be having one on one converstaions in the coming days with some of those bitching today. This is my best opportunity to plant some big seeds.
This might be the one issue........It is for me.
