Republicrat or Demublican?

I found this piece written by Steve Palmer by way of Dvorak. Here's an excerpt:




 Let’s review what our democrat leaders *used* to say about the Patriot Act….
Senator Obama, 2007:
“This is legislation that puts our own Justice Department above the law. When National Security Letters are issued, they allow federal agents to conduct any search on any American, no matter how extensive or wide-ranging, without ever going before a judge to prove that the search is necessary.”
Speaker Pelosi, 2005:
“This is a massive invasion of the privacy of the American people, not just some idle threat. The Washington Post reported last month that the FBI hands out more than 30,000 national security letters per year, a reported hundred-fold increase over historic norms. How did this happen?”
Leader Reid, 2005:
“Now, what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas, but not in this instance. It’s in some federal data bank. That’s what the Patriot Act is doing to the American people. And we have to make sure that big brother doesn’t take over this country.”
It all just goes to show us that even though both parties talk different games, they end up fueling the same fire. When either one gets into power, neither one sets out to fix "mistakes" of the other party. It's D.C. against the rest of the nation.
