1. Which is reason Congress is not rallying on impeachment.
They are all afraid of what this administration has on them.

Same with the profit driven media.

3. Nothing. Nothing ever happens to this guy. He broke the law and

4. They'll just say "Clinton did it, toooooo!"
And the issue will magically disappear.

8. I can't speak for the rest of the political spectrum
but I know we liberals will be highly PISSED. We'll probably be so mad we'll sing "Kum-by-yah" louder than we ever have before! :grr:

Jesus! If only we could prove Dear Leader signed one of those "Surveillance" orders while he was getting a blowjob from Condi or Harriet! :wow:

10. Unapproachable.
Bush can't be seduced by women. He loves screwing America too much.

11. We run hard against this in the next year. Right to privacy hits everyone
all over the political spectrum. And he not only broke the law , but he lied when he said he did it for national security.

This isn't going away. This definitely threatens to force more cracks of light into the shady dealings out of this Bush White House.

14. Don't you remember?
The Republican Party says there *is* no Constitutional "right to privacy."

Might be a nice wedge for the Sammy BadBreath (m)Alito hearings, though!

19. yeah, for one side it's mostly the right to dissent, the other it's fear
of government intrusion in their lives that is their boogeyman.

13. The media will crow about how he's doing a great job
protecting us from terror, liberating Iraq, and stimulating the economy. As always they will completely ignore the fact that he is a criminal and an ignorant one as well.

Democrats will all give speeches about how they "trusted the president" and that his actions were consistent with the information available at the time.

The punditry will prattle about his vision, courage, and forward thinking.

In other words nothing will change.

17. We will not find out.
Edited on Sun Dec-18-05 11:44 AM by Evergreen Emerald
The media will not ask the questions. The Congress is complicit. The voices of the people will be minimized and dehumanized.

On Edit: I am sorry, I sound defeated today. It is frustrating to see the hypocrisy and lies week after week with no result other than the status quo. We are allowing those guys in power to usurp our rights and take our power.

18. People like Bush not only want to know what
their enemies are doing (Dems) but also want to know what their friends are doing (Repubs) just in case they are planning something against him. He knows his enemies are against him. The Republican part of congress should think about this. They are in the crosshairs too.

20. I've always believed
the anthrax attacks on media and Congress was an inside job. If the criminals in power did THAT, you can damn be sure they've spied on them as well.

21. why haven't they used their surveillance...
to catch whomever sent anthrax to DC? Because they aren't even trying! It had to be an inside job. But they are so worried about Anthrax they will do anything to force the anthrax vaccine on our military.

I am sure they are spying on congress. They probably already know that. I just wish a group of congressmen would step foward and tell US, now that it will be believed by all.
