The constitution is what matters here. Retroactive immunity is unconstitutional, plain and simple. The Bush administration needs to pull their heads out of their asses, and represent the American people, and not corporate interests, for once. Thank god for senators like Dodd and Pelosi!

Has anyone noticed how the elected officials of today DON'T CARE what they say or how they vote anymore???!! It's because they don't have to care anymore about the voting public. We've lost the vote. Just look at what is happening in the primaries. Election officials are in on the fraud. Republican GOP currently is doing NOTHING to correct this situation. Just look at what happened in 2000 and 2004! They don't have to care. All "people" should be rising up against this travesty! Ron Paul cares.

Um MR BRUCE the Tough on terror thing was about taking the constitution.. it was made to scare the American people... Its all a power grab.. If we did not have this "war on terror" we could not go out to other countries and take them over and take the oil and property. And they are about to do it to us also.

you probably don't even know an an "impeachment" is...can you think of any president that been impeached besides Nixon and Clinton?

FISA you have a 1:138,440.1239 chance of a FISA request being granted for YOU. Thats 2000 FISA requests a year for the entire populace of the USA and territories. Since 79' there have only been 5 requests denied for any and all presidents.

Does anybody with any brains really think the goverment wants to listen to their boring phone calls? IDIOTS.

yeah right.thier would be property rights.Right now companys can dump all they want and pay a fine.Under Ron Paul the property rights would be maintained and companys could be sued for THE WHOLE COMPANY>none of this cap limit ..where you cant sue a company into forcloser.Ron Paul verus Obama in the general election would be the best outcome of these primaries.

Day One: "Impeachment is off the table."

Again - I'm in full support of pulling American Soldiers, AND American Money, Wheat, Rice and Support out of EVERY country that doesn't want it. But don't take my bread and then bitch about the farmer who grew it, the citizen who paid for it or the soldier that delivered it. You think your government wants to stop drinking from the well?

Before you open your mouth and bitch - remember who feeds it. Fucking retard.

[n7cav]

Why do you post the exact same irrational shit over and over? The evil white race funds most of the programs, benefits and entitlements that the rest of the world gladly accepts. Then you bitch about it. Go fuck your self.
