Bush's phone immunity bill wins Senate vote.
Nearly 40 lawsuits have been filed accusing AT&T, Verizon and Sprint Nextel Corp. of violating U.S. privacy rights.
Backers of immunity, who include some Democrats as well many of Bush's fellow Republicans, contend companies should be thanked, not punished, for helping defend the United States.
Thank you. Thank you for helping to defend the United States. I had no idea you were such crusaders for freedom. Since you telecoms are so interested in the preservation of the American way, once elected I am opening up special positions in Afghanistan for the top 10% of every phone company that turned over private information to the federal government without making them get the necessary warrants. Consider it my way of saying, "Thank you!" and giving you yet another opportunity to 'defend the United States'.
And a very real thank you to the one super huge telephone company that declined participating in the warrant-less spying program,
Qwest. You may still be a big evil corporation, but at least you're a big evil corporation with a conscious. Thank you Qwest.

and they wonder why I joined the ACLU! Bush has succesfully restored all of the crap that we dealt with under Nixon. Anytime the government declares a war on anything, drugs, terror, fill in the blanks, it all means they want to take away our rights. It doesn't surprise me business backed Bush and visa versa. They both help each other out financially.
