Is Reid setting us up on FISA?

what to do about wrong-way Jay (0.00 / 0)

Jay seems confused lately to me.  He's trying to talk his way out of the torture chamber that is public opinion of his knowledge and implied consent of various forms of torture used on suspected terrorists all over the world.  How do we let Jay know he is losing his Dem support in the mountain state to send a message that our vote is not a "given".....maybe we could get someone from the Mountain party to step up and run, that way folks would have a viable alternative without electing a replican, this would send a message to jay without causing him the election.  We could stop giving his campaign any money to see if the Bushes pony up like they did for Lieberman.  I used to like Jay and have voted for him many times in the past but this time I may just NOT vote for him, leave his page blank, rather than play the fool.

Divine Right of Incumbents (0.00 / 0)

I just got off the telephone to Senator Jay's DC office and must say that I have seldom felt so patronized and perfunctorily dismissed. The young-ish male staffer who was working the phones did everything but yawn into my ear. I had called to suggest that the Senator support Senator Dodd's filibuster of the FISA telcom amnesty bill (aka: "Democrats Surrender AGAIN") and vote against cloture. "Uh huh," the staffer commented, "yeah, ..umm. Well, he doesn't talk to us about that intelligence stuff," he added. I suggested that Sen. Rockefeller's (D-Verizon) senate vote on the matter was unlikely to be secret for long, and he took my name and address as a way to get me off the phone, mainly, I think. Look for me soon on the "no-fly list"...
