Totally awesome bumper sticker.

At least 69% of the Senate is PURE EVIL

This is just unbelievable. If warrantless wiretapping were not unconstitutional, then why the blazes is it necessary to pass a bill guaranteeing immunity for the past, present, and future? The answer: it's necessary when you're demagogues and you know it. You gotta protect the power you have...

Oh, and by the way, Obama voted FOR the bill and McCain didn't vote at all. In fact, he didn't show up because he knew it was going to pass. Why else would he be away for an act so important to him that he said Congress was a disgrace for not passing it. What a chump, and he's even calling Obama a flip-flopper for it. What a stupid set of candidates we have.

John McCain's campaign seized on the reversal as a flip-flop of the first order.
