Yea for the "pesky bloggers"

Remember when Nancy Pelosi told bloggers that she supported Wynn?
Though crediting activists for their "passion," Pelosi called it "a waste of time" for them to target Democrats. "They are advocates," she said. "We are leaders."
Well she is no longer a leader I respect. And ditto Harry Reid until a few hours ago when he tabled the FISA bill debate until after the Senate winter recess. While it is good he listened to and read the many phone calls and emails he got - why did he not lead on this issue before - why did he wait until he figuratively got hit on the head with it? He knew that the shrub had lied - he knew that this illegal wire tapping started BEFORE Sept 11, 2001 - in fact it started soon after the shrub was elected. And now mr 24% wants to retroactively immunize those telecoms that listened to you and me - and are still listening.

If I know that and the New York Times knows that - why did Harry Reid seem to not know it?

So keep up the pressure on all members of Congress - until they start listening to the people [and not illegally :-) ] - and stop listening to the money!

I'll second that and throw in a High 5 to boot!

I also know a couple (or 3) presidential candidates that might want to keep in mind that citizens are engaged, and care, no matter what the MSM would have us believe.
