After watching and listening to (and later reading) the speeches of Senator Dodd and Senator Feingold regarding FISA, I am left feeling that Republicans should be very ashamed. They are part of a political party that proudly proclaims they are the party for the individual. Although we already knew that to be a sham, it's a little sad each time that it is demonstrated once again. I once was a member of the College Republicans, and voted proudly in step with the GOP in the 90s. I could see the GOP losing its place, though, and selling out to special interests within its party (big business and religion). I left for the Libertarians, which stood for principles that actually meant something.
The GOP should be ashamed that their allegiance with big business has let them be out-performed by members of the Democratic Party on the issue of the FISA bill (H.R. 6304) and on individual liberties in general. They should hang their heads and try to find out just when they lost their way.
