7. DAMN....I think they lied to me today.
I think both aides I talked to today actually lied to me. What the heck is going on here?

Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, agrees with the White House position.

Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, who recently ended a bid for his party's presidential nomination, is vowing to block any bill that includes immunity for telephone companies. "I am vehemently opposed to that. I would utilize whatever vehicles are available to a senator here to stop that from becoming law with retroactive immunity in it," he said.

But Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, agrees with the White House position. "At the end of the day we have to have the cooperation of the telecommunications companies, and they should not have the threat of a spurious lawsuits hanging over their heads," he said.


I am goihg to call again tomorrow for some real answers!!

You do not mislead your constituents, Bill Nelson. How very very sneaky.
