CNN writers, computer operators, etc. etc. Seems like people are more than willing to nitpick rather than see larger issues, the veritable picking the mote from someone else's eye while having a beam in your own, or the whole straining at a gnat while trying to swallow a camel. However, if you're one of those people who do not make mistakes and have commented about all of the mistakes that others make, forgive me. As it is, imperfect people have no right to nitpick trivialities unless they are willing to accept being viewed under a lens themselves, no matter their race, creed, gender, and oh yes, political affiliation.

In a country where the Supreme Court decides who is our president rather than the voters,,, anything is possible.

CNN. Please get your facts straight or don't report at all. We already have slanted journalism and we look to you for only the facts. This is consistent with your most recently omission that Ted Stevens is "Senator from Alaska" rather than a "Republican Sentaor from Alaska" Ugh! CNN.

Peter, stay on topic. This was about a computer glitch during voting on the surveillance law, not immigration or Tancredo. How convenient for the Democrats that electronics failed when it did. First they stole a vote and now this. Brilliant I'm pretty sure Hoyer is a Democrat regardless of who has the majority, Andrew. Peter, stay on topic.

It proves that extremists are dangerous whne they come from the middle east and the neo con right of the USA. It's so childlike. " I'll break your toys to show you I'm stronger and mom likes me best" Can you imagine if a Timothy Mc Viegh type american extremist bombed say, Mexico, and the Mexican gov'mt retaliated saying all americans were extremists and then bombed the Vatican? Tancredo and his generation of polititians represent a danger to our society as much as Al-Qaeda, they feed on one another.
