There is no left-wing party with any Congresspeople at all, or any significant number of elected officials anywhere in the USA.
I have no idea why you think that. The two Democratic Senators from California are so far left they make the typical Communist look like a right-winger.

Nothing will change if Obama becomes Prez.

The the power of the Congress is currently held by the left-wing party.

There is no left-wing party with any Congresspeople at all, or any significant number of elected officials anywhere in the USA. The Democrats are right-wing and the Republicans are fascist, by the standards of most of the rest of the developed countries.

I was referring to the philosophy of the Bushies, as they are behind the surveillance thing.

Congress is doing the best it can to fix this situation.

...of course that method is to remove wiretap and privacy restrictions.

Does it occur to anyone else that maybe these things are connected?

The philosophy of the right-wing party calls for privatizing whenever possible; and the executive branch now is pushing for comprehensive surveillance of citizens' communications. And about this time, private companies come along that propose to intercept and data-mine internet users' traffic. It would be easy enough for the companies to run filters for the feds as well as their own. Then they could make bigger profits and save the government some trouble.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20758552 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:48:22 EDT Re: Congress doing it's job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20758171 Mike : Congress is doing the best it can to fix this situation.
