Ask Carol Shea-Porter, well–ask any New Hampshire Democrat actually, about warrant-less wire taps. Remember those? The Democrats got all wound up about them under a previous president, but lets be honest; it was not because they really gave a damn about your rights or your privacy.
They got wound up because they viewed it as a political opportunity. They felt that they could win votes and seats (and political power) by bashing George Bush and Republicans on that particular issue if they talked about it enough.
What’s that? You don’t believe me when I tell you Democrats didn’t really care? You don’t think it was just about politics and power? Well why haven’t we heard a word out of them about this issue since Obama came to office?
Or didn’t you know? According to the ACLU…more people were subjected to pen register and trap and trace surveillance in the past two years than in the entire previous decade.



Nancy Pelosi’s mad hand puppet, the Socialist-progressive democrat Carol Seiu Porter, has just formally announced the obvious. No, not that she is a Pelosi marionette; she announced that she is going to run for congress in 2012. This is not surprising, not breaking, not even interesting, except to those who like easy blog material of which Shea porter is a redolent horn of plenty. Porter is blogging gold. Better than Biden, who is a total ass-hat but who at least has thoughts he can call his own, such as they are.
These are democrats. Of course they can. So should we wait for the "Big Pharma, and Big Health care" bought the congressional Budget Office narratives?
