Spineless Democrat Watch II

I am catching up on all the letters I've sent to my "representatives" over the past few months... This is an email I sent in August to Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House) and Harry Reid (Senate Majority "Leader") when I found out that the Spineless Democrats had caved at the last minute and given the Boosh everything he wanted and more in terms of unlimited and unchecked executive power:

Dear XXXXX:

I cannot tell you how shocked, disgusted, and disappointed I was to find out that the spineless "Democrat" party had voted to give President Bush and the executive branch MORE power. I've come to expect that from the Republicans, but not the Democrats. There is no one on this planet who less deserves this kind of blind trust than President Bush -- who has repeatedly shown that he is not worthy of any trust whatsoever. The executive branch does not need more power. Any wiretapping should be done with a warrant and with strong court oversight. Allowing Bush to wiretap without a warrant is stupid; and as the FISA court determined, illegal and unconstitutional. Don't shortsell the Constitution. Don't surrender our civil liberties to the Republican fearmongers. For the love of all that is good in America, please stand up and perform your sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. Please dismantle this unsurpassed infringement on civil liberties, provide a system of checks and balances, and thereby protect Americans. If you don't, the terrorists will have won.

Sincerely,

John Locke
