Voting Democrat = Empowering Terrorism?

Yes I know it's a bold statement. And I know that it will infuriate any libs reading (does Matthew Jackson read anything but ChangeDecatur.com anymore?)

Do *ALL* Democrats believe in empowering terrorists? Of course not. The problem is that the ones in leadership do. Or at least they believe in playing political games instead of doing what's right.

First Harry Reid proclaims that they killed the Patriot Act...and there was applause. Is that something to be happy about? For Reid and his fellow extreme-left colleagues it was. Now Nancy Pelosi has refused to allow the House to vote on a crucial bill to extend the Protect America Act, the bill that had overwhelming BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, but didn't get called for a vote. Why? Because the ATLA (American Trial Lawyers) are allies of the Democrats, and the bill would have made exempted phone companies from being sued by trial lawyers when the phone company cooperated with the US government. Newt Gingrich has an excellent article on the subject which everyone should read.

Today's Democratic Party has had a history of playing politics over doing what's right for America. The Patriot Act, this Protect America Act, confirming Judges, delaying/opposing appointments made by the President, even manufacturing "crimes" in order to get political leaders out of office (Tom Delay) while some of their own members who have committed crimes still enjoy being in office (William Jefferson...and Ted Kennnedy. Sorry Matt, I had to say it.) Should Republican Senator Larry Craig have resigned? I don't know...maybe, but not if Jefferson is allowed to stay. As long as Senators who take bribes, stuff the money in their freezer, lie about it still get to keep their job, then a Senator who cruises for a gay lover in a airport restroom should keep his job(by the way, libs, is that a crime? Was any money exchanged? Shouldn't we embrace his life choices and not condemn him?...funny I don't remember hearing that on CNN or PMSNBC...)

Everyone plays politics, both parties. When the political games won't allow Nancy Pelosi to call a vote for a bill that allows for the monitoring of terrorist activity, and puts the people of the whole US at risk, then that party doesn't deserve any support. Even from the conservative democrats of Central Illinois. Obama wants change...I say lets start with the DNC. Once that's done, then we'll consider voting for Democrats. Until then, I say oppose them at every turn.
