I don't think that the passage of the Bush requested will make us "safer", but I strongly suspect that preventing passage would persuade them to do something that they really, really, don't want to have to do..... but.....the senate and house dems asked for it, sooooo...... we get hit, AGAIN.....
.....they outed Plame, they launched an illegal war, predicate on lies....and we don't want to think about what they would do if the FISA law changes don't pass. I'm not trying to present an apology for the despicable conduct of democrats....I'm trying to be consistent in my thinking, and asking you to consider that you ought to be, too....

You and I both know to what extent the GOP is corrupt and could even be labeled with such an extreme term as evil. They represent lies and death and suffering and greed and even tyranny. George W. Bush isn't just a massive idiot and tool, but actively represents all that is wrong with the US. We know.
Consistency doesn't mean that you have to support who you supported yesterday despite their actions today. That's the mistake of the GOP. They are assuming Bush stands for the same party as Lincoln. Consistency, by my belief, is being consistent in your support of ideals and progress, not support of people of a certain label. I can't vote for someone who puts their party above the populace they should represent. If Kucinich were my rep, I'd vote for him. Not because of his party. Not even because he has a curiously hot wife (I'm guessing hypnosis). I'd vote for him because I feel he'd represent me and my community. That's the name of the game.
