Chicken Liberals

I have been utterly mystified as to why so many Democrats would come out in support of the FISA compromise.

First, it doesn’t just renew FISA, a bad idea to begin with, it actually gives wannabe tyrant George Bush more power to spy on American illegally! Second, it gives the telecoms, who went along with this totally unconstitutional practice, immunity from lawsuits by innocent Americans who were spied upon.

So, why would the Democrats hand this lame duck and highly unpopular president such an incredible political victory?

Perhaps because they are Chicken Liberals… Because they are afraid that by standing-up for the constitution and letting the FISA bill lapse because the price for its renewal is too high they will be the targets of smear ads that they were soft on terrorism, that they were unpatriotic, that they didn’t support of troops, blah, blah, blah! Chicken Liberals.

Well, Chicken Liberals, know that that sword can cut both ways. I’ve got a couple alternative ads in mind…

How about a caricature of any congressman or senator who votes for the compromise shown pulling the Constitution from its resting place in the national archives and tearing it up?

How about the faces of the founding fathers on Mt. Rushmore hung in shame?
