The Problem With Max Baucus

Senator Max Baucus is a Democrat in name, but in the United States Senate, he has acted more like a Republican, supporting the worst ideas of the failing Republican Party rather than embracing the reasonable ideas that the Democrats have to offer.

This lens explores the record of Senator Max Baucus as he runs for re-election in 2008. It's not that we support the campaigns of Kirk Bushman or any of the other Republicans running to replace Max Baucus in the U.S. Senate. Goodness, no. They're just as bad as Baucus.

We do wonder, however, whether the Democrats of Montana wouldn't do better to just kick Baucus out in 2008, and start fresh. It's embarrassing to Democrats see Senator Baucus keep on making a jerk out of himself.

Max Baucus And The Eighteen Democrats Who Betrayed Freedom 

On February 11, 2008, Max Baucus and 17 other Senate Democrats betrayed liberty

On Tuesday, February 11, 2008, the United States Senate voted to give the President of the United States permanent powers to use electronic networks to spy against Americans without having to give any explanation to anybody. Nobody, not even the United States Congress short of impeachment, will have the power to stop the President from listening to Americans' telephone calls, reading their emails, and watching where they go and what they do on the Internet.

They passed the FISA Amendments Act. Yes, every single Republican who was present in the Senate today voted in favor of this terrible law. That includes Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The law could not have been passed, however, if those Republicans were not joined by 18 traitorous Democrats.

Max Baucus was among them.

Max Baucus Votes For The FISA Amendments Act 

Baucus favors government spying against Americans

The FISA Amendments Act is a law that has let criminals off the hook. When big corporations violated their legal contracts with customers and broke the law by helping George W. Bush spy on the personal, private communications of millions of Americans, the honorable thing to do would have been to hold them accountable for their crime.

Max Baucus decided to do the dishonorable thing. He decided to rewrite the law to retroactively legalize the crime, and let the corporations off the hook.
