Here's What Happens When Someone Wants To Use YOUR "PUBLIC" INFO To INTIMIDATE YOU.

73. Whoa, a voice of reason on this thread.

If I remember correctly the democrats were for a strong government to keep the wealthy from oppressing the poor.

Apparently that's accusing them 'their hair is on fire'.

It seems to me that emails between the scumbags at Enron revealed when that scandal broke just what kind of despicable shenanigans went on.

I want the government to have legal authority to subpoena electronic documents when big business is trying to screw the people over. I guess that makes me pro-surveillance.

It's a question of where do you draw the line. Are the 'hair on fire crowd' unknowingly fighting for the bankers. Are they fighting to prevent the 'behind closed doors deals' that the bankers used to coordinate the crash from coming to light if the democrats do gain control of the house after the next election and vote to fund Dodd-Frank? Or is this 'debate' engineered to prevent the democrats from taking over the house? I guess we will see.

It's like the sweet little old ladies who wanted to make this a better country by prohibiting the manufacture and consumption of alcohol. They couldn't have known that the mob would be the ones that benefitted. Of course now we have the knowledge of how prohibition didn't really benefit the people who fought for it, and it happened to the 'tort reform' folks too. You'd think people would try to let this play out in their minds with some kind of similar historical incident.

That isn't enough to get people to stop and think about who is really going to benefit if the 'hair on fire folks' get their way, whatever that is. Can somebody tell me where they think this is all going to lead? It looks like an anti-government campaign to me too.
