GREAT POST, finally some one in DC can see that all this crap about National Security and wanting to spy on people is a bunch of crap.

Bush has gone nuts, thank goodness some one else sees this.

Dennis Kucinich is such strong person. I admire his strength and tenacity. While I'm on the fence about this, (even though, I lean toward being pretty liberal) I admire the senator nonetheless.
