Many of my friends wouldn't recognize the term. But hey, on the FISA bill, here we are again. Knowing that the best way to clobber the Democrats is through dividing them on particular policy issues. The Dems have a big damn tent so they'll never all agree, so you can toss in statements cleaving to ideological purity that will tie them up in righteous arguments for days. Then you can pitch to the Repub holdouts and Indes that Hey, those Dems just don't know what they want. We're strong and solid. You'd better come with us... You can stir up and divide the Democrats through ideological games.
But I'm sorry, fellow Democrats, this is not new to me. Here we are again after our party has sold out on major fundamentals of the US constitution already. Not a big surprise. We have let the practice of "rendition" take place. Abu Ghraib happened. The President has not been impeached. This is hardly a horror, as a friend says. I'd say it is hardly a horror greater than those we have endured thus far-- one after the other.
Let's leave our beautiful candidate alone and irritate others about these policy details. There are hundreds of abrogations of the constitution and destructive privatization policies to pursue-- let's approach changing them through other means.
Here we are again. We cannot afford 4 more years of Cheney-inspired administration/ destruction. And they WILL try to steal it again by using multiple methods, so please don't call your fellow Democrats kooky when they ask you to pay attention to little dribs & drabs vote stealing.
