Remember Me As A Time Of Day
So everyone is still freaking the fuck out over this even though most of it's support in congress has dried up and the president has said he will veto it?
Cool.
Cool.
I'd rather people be freaked out than complacent.Doctor Strangelove wrote:

Apparently, people didn't freak out enough before the NDAA got passed.
Obama veto a bill that expands government power? Are you out of your mind? If it ended up on his desk he would rubber stamp it.Doctor Strangelove wrote:

A president that changes his mind after a majority of the people in the country make it clear they disapprove?

If I was a lefty whose internet was hamstrung by something Obama signed that he said he wouldn't, I'd vote for Romney out of spite.Jay wrote:

He never promised a veto. He simply doesn't support it in his current form. Plus, considering before the protests there were something like 70+ senators on board, they could've even overridden his veto.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Pretty hilarious how there was a pretty decent split of Republicans and Democrats initially co-sponsoring the bill, and yet all over Facebook I see "liberal big government ideas" yadda yadda yadda. Each side wants their own version of big government.
It's easier for them to blame the other side than to acknowledge some of their own as being responsible too.Poseidon wrote:

And of MegaUpload?
Just the fact that so many from each side supported it initially tells me all I need to know about the parties once more. They don't mind big government as long as it suits their needs.FEOS wrote:
