Once again the Democrats showed they have no balls what-so-ever, and just because George Bush said so, they went ahead and changed the rules so that Bush can spy on Americans with little or NO court oversight. F*ck you Democrats! So what, George would not let you go on vacation so you handed him the right to screw the 4th Amendment, was vacation that important?

From the Washington Post (bolds are mine)

The 60 to 28 vote, which was quickly denounced by civil rights and privacy advocates, came after Democrats in the House failed to win support for more modest changes that would have required closer court supervision of government surveillance. Earlier in the day, President Bush threatened to hold Congress in session into its scheduled summer recess if it did not approve the changes he wanted.

The legislation, which is expected to go before the House today, would expand the government’s authority to intercept without a court order the phone calls and e-mails of people in the United States who are communicating with people overseas.

As currently written, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act already gives U.S. spies broad leeway to monitor the communications of foreign terrorism suspects, but the 30-year-old statute requires a warrant to monitor calls intercepted in the United States, regardless of where the calls begin or end.

Not any more, thanks to the Democrats old George can do what he wants to Americans, without any court looking out for us, all so Democrats could go on vacation? The kicker here is that the bill at least said that the American in question had to be suspected of terrorist links, but they even dropped that language, you can now be spied on without a warrant for anything Bush wants. You have failed the American people (again) Democrats, you have caved to an evil man doing evil things, and you sold Americans out for a vacation 2 times longer than most Americans ever see. For shame…

Today in a news conference out “president” said that Americans were crazy, and that is why they want the war in Iraq over. Bush said, “First of all, I understand why the American people are — you know, they’re tired of the war. People are — there’s war fatigue in America. It’s affecting our psychology. I’ve said this before. I understand that. This is an ugly war.”

It is not the American people that have a psychological issue, it is you George. You keep telling us that everything is going great, whole we have over 3,600 dead American soldier and according our own National Counter-terrorism Center, “Al-Qaida Better Positioned to Strike the West.” What did these men and women die for? The head of the CIA, a 4-star General I remind you, said that instability in Iraq is “irreversible“. The”escalation” is turning out to be a huge failure, as General Hadden says “irreversible.”

So Bush, who is crazy, the whole world is telling you that Iraq is a disaster, your own appointees are telling you it is a failure. Your fellow countryman are screaming at you to stop killing our troops and pissing away our money. George, for the love of god, level with the American people, tell us why we are in Iraq? Drop the bullshit about terror, because we lost that war, what is the truth, and what event needs to happen so that you will end this disaster?
