Do NOT quote this if you have to twist it to suit your message. Franklin said: "Those who would sacrifice <em>an essential</em> liberty for <em>a little temporary</em> security deserve neither liberty nor security." Franklin was talking about the 'feed the alligator so it'll eat you last' analogy, not striving for the permanent security of the nation he helped to build. Go make up your own quote if you want to, and you can probably get other idiots to quote you and still attribute it to great Americans...but don't invent crap quotes and claim Franklin said it.

Instead there's dead silence, and not just on the phone lines. I'd nearly forgotten about the whole disgraceful situation until Ed posted this. The Democrats may be trying their hardest to lose America's war with al-Qaeda, but the Republicans certainly seem to be making a serious effort to lose the ongoing political war to the Democrats.

I think republican Melissa Hart will probably take back her seat after this.

Anything to bring down Bush is the route they take whether or not they aid and abet our enemies. They have major news media like CNN, MSNBC and many other liberal outlets in their pocket to aid their cause. It's been beyond disgusting to watch them operate to gain back their power to the detriment of the American people. The sad part is that many Americans after hearing 10 minute sound bites from the likes of CNN will vote these goons back in office.
