Carl Wolfson, here in Portland, inteviewed Brian Baird about his yes vote on the "FISA Bill." It is probably between 6:30 and 7:00 am on the link below. Carl and a caller wanted to know why he voted yes. Congressman Baird was a little rude to the caller. It is interesting to hear his reasoning. (Carl made awesome points, but Congressman Baird didn't hear -- too busy trying to talk over Carl.)

Baird is my rep, and something has happened to him in the last 12-18 months. I don't plan to vote for him in the next election.

He did sound a little Pelosi-esque. When's he up for re-election - the next cycle?
I heard that exchange and I was not pleased at all with Baird's belligerent attitude when challenged on some of his points. He doesn't really believe them. This is just a bunch of BS he's trying to pass off.

Yes, this cycle. He got suddenly hawkish. I'm voting for his opponent, who is basically running on anti-war platform.

Is it Democrat Cheryl Crist of Olympia? Well, it sounds like KPOJ should be interviewing her also...

Exactly.

Yes, she was gladhanding at the democratic county convention, so she will get my vote, just on war stance.

I just emailed Carl Wolfson to request that he interview her also. I feel terrible that I didn't know her name; I had to google Baird's opponents.
The Dems are divided. Blue Dogs(corporate shills) vs Progressives(would rather have campaign finance reform).
That's it in a nutshell.

Baird has not changed, he's always had his head up Bush's ass.
I wrote to him back when Bush said that wiretaps require a warrant, then we found out he wasn't getting warrants. Baird replied basically that we don't know what happened, so it's not a good idea to say Bush violated the constitution. He also said it was pre-mature to call for an investigation.
Baird is a fucking lying POS, and anyone that thinks otherwise isn't paying attention.

Well I wasn't until 18 months ago, when I moved to Vancouver from Portland. But he got a pass from Thom Hartman, who I like, so the default was a pass from me.
