repugs let bush get away with breaking the law - again

GOP Senators Near Deal on Eavesdropping
WASHINGTON - After weeks of negotiations and closed door meetings, moderate Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee will propose legislation giving President Bush's controversial surveillance program the force of law.

Support was building Tuesday among Republicans and the White House for the proposal to craft eavesdropping legislation and conduct additional oversight more than four years after Bush secretly initiated the program. The move also blunted Democratic calls for an investigation of the U.S.-based monitoring operations in the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the Intelligence Committee expressed outrage after a meeting Tuesday that senators voted — along party lines — to reject an investigation of the surveillance proposed by West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the committee's top Democrat.

"The committee — to put it bluntly — basically is in the control of the White House," a visibly angry Rockefeller said.

The repugs literally let bush get away with any and everything! They won't even let there be an investigation! And this is for a president with a 35% approval rating, regarding an illegal domestic spying program that a majority of Americans feel is wrong (and we know is illegal).

Will we ever get America back?
