The Young Turks

I know that a good precentage of us here are fucking infuriated by Telecom Immunity, but, in my head I've come up with why I am going to believe that the Democrats passed Telecom Immunity. 

The first reason is very simple. If you put companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and other phone companies in legal potential legal trouble like not passing the Telecom Immunity bill would have done, one thing is going to happen.  Your bill will go up.  They will tack on extra fees, they will bump the price up of text messages that are not part of a bundle.  They physical phones will be spendier when you go to get a new one.  The plans will cost more money.  For those with bad credit, the deposits for getting a phone will increase.  More money taken away from citizens. That is my bottom line.

The second reason is the justice system.  Without giving Bush immunity, he could go to criminal court.  And, man.  I honestly cannot see any court in this land convicting the man.  Maybe you can, but I just do not seeing that ever happening.  I think that the Democrats know this.  

And the third and final reason is just what Cenk says.  It lets them hang themselves.  Less Republicans in Congress, the easier it will be to pass bills that Republicans oppose.  The better it will be in the long run.  Because, when it comes down to it, telecom immunity not passing doesn' effect me.  It doesn't matter to me if Bush goes to court or not, because we all know if he were to go to jail that he'd get a few months probation and that's it.  Anyway, that's just where I stand.
