You can just feel the palpable waves of disgust emanating from the Leftist Nutroot community that's dominating the Democratic party nowadays. How can this be? We OWN the HOUSE and the SENATE! But FISA passes in the House, with a majority of Republicans and Democrats voting yes. And probably FISA will sail through the Senate as well.

But there's no happiness in weirdville. From the leftist Seattle Post-Intelligencer, this editorial...

After a long and bitter battle over updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Bush administration ultimately prevailed when the House granted retroactive immunity to telecoms that provided private records to the feds sans warrants in passing House Resolution 6304. The opposition received a sound drubbing in the 293-129 vote. What a disappointment. And we don't dare expect better from the Senate this week.

...

The Dems comfort themselves by saying the law requires warrants from FISA courts. Except that the 1978 FISA law already gave the government 72 hours to do so. They can spy on us for a week without a warrant. Worse yet, the bill legitimizes the administration's spying program.

...

Sen. John McCain supports warrantless spying and voted in favor of granting telecoms immunity in February. Heck, he loves telecoms -- he keeps hiring their lobbyists on his staff. And Sen. Barack Obama, who approves of the compromise, said that as president, he would "monitor the program." Come again, sir? The last thing we need is another "just trust me" president.

Ha! And no support or false hope from their Messiah. Barack Obama realizes that FISA opposition is simply a manifestation of boundless and hateful BDS, and that the so-called 'warrantless wiretapping' Buscheneyrove (magnificent BASTARDS!!!~~!) enacted was not designed to deprive nutroots of their drug dealers; but instead to put needed teeth into our War on Terrorism: simply put, we have to have a steady stream of incoming intelligence in order to know what the bad guys are up to. Then we can (possibly) stop another terrorist attack.

Baracky, while soft on national defense (and dangerously naive and inexperienced in his dealings with foreign powers...Dinnerjacket can't wait to get him in office in order to scheme around his ignorance...) has someone whispering in his ear on this one... '...let this one go. After all, there's a good chance those will be our planes now...'.

To deprive the intelligence community of the necessary tools it needs for ensuring national security just because of hateful and hurtful BDS is foolish, and only a simpleton would embrace such a boneheaded posture.

Luckily, Baracky has at least one good wormtongue. Who knew?
