[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 372724, member: 9859"] As far as " the Democrats are not the party of big business", one just has to revert back to 8 to 16 yrs ago during the Clinton years. You see, Republicans are experts into planting seeds of mythology in unsuspected thick skulls. One might recall Wall Street not to unhappy with the Clinton years. It's not all about tax breaks, and de-regulation. That decision by Obama, which was widely seen by political strategists as an attempt to move to the ideological center, represented his first major break with the liberal left, a group that sustained him financially and organizationally throughout the primary season. Despite the compromising nature of the bill, the safeguards, and the "fisa court" there is a lot Barack Obama can do to right the wrongs of the Bush administration when it comes to our Fourth Amendment rights. After saying all that, I'm still very unhappy and opposed with the passing of this bill. Do I throw in the towel?....Not yet... I still take into account the overall picture and scheme of things on a multitude of issues. I understand your position as far as what is the alternative when you have both sides of the isle marching in lock step with the fascist agenda? I would suggest a third party for the future, but now that all communications can be legally monitored, the chances of one being organized are unlikely. Same goes for protests and all other activities and organizations that seek to influence government policy and affect public opinion. For now there's no real viable option except for the lesser of two evils. [/QUOTE]
