Vote? Are you kidding? OK, here is your task. Since all but one member of congress voted FOR the USA PATRIOT ACT, exactly what party or what candidates do you suggest be elected in support of civil liberties in the US? You don't seem to get this. Or on Iraq, the democrat and republican leadership, and the republican and democrat majority in both houses of congress voted for the carte blanche Iraq war resolution. Exactly who is a voter to vote for if he prefers peace, or going after real threats like North Korea instead of just tyrants that pissed off W's daddy? We can always pretend we actually have a choice by voting for the democrat who wants to wiretap you, instead of the republican that wants to wiretap you. Our choice is not whether or not to get wiretapped, rather it is to select the administration that wiretaps us. Ahhhhh, DEMOCRACY!
