The Blue Dogs Do It Again

You know what to do. Link:
House Republicans engineered a series of procedural votes Wednesday in a bid to derail the Democrats’ proposed extension, which President Bush said Wednesday he would veto. They argued that the House should simply take up and send to the White House a surveillance overhaul bill (HR 3773) that the Senate passed by 68-29 Tuesday.
Because 21 conservative Blue Dog Democrats have endorsed the Senate-passed bill, Republicans might be able to win approval of the Senate bill through a motion to recommit the extension with instructions to amend it with the text of the Senate bill.

Cut them some slack.
You think Bush and Co. have not been tapping their phones FIRST. Grow up there is No morality left in the US of A.
They are politicians first, democrats second and Americans third. All they want to do is try to not be convicted.
