Comments on: President defends secret wiretapping

As controversy grows over electronic spying on Americans, Bush asserts that taps will continue.

King George II

Our country would be much safer if the President could ignore laws as they become inconvenient to him.

Oh, wait.

No Liberal Bias

At least now no one can blame the liberal media for taking a swing at Bush seeing as how important conservative senators are calling for hearings as well.

King William

Just like Bill Clinton!

Right, don't forget. . .

Don't forget. . . the Raw FBI Files on Clinton's coffee table, or the
top secret files swiped by Sandy Burglar, or the missile technology
sent to China for campaign contributions.

IF Bush is breaking the law, he is doing it to try and save our
collective fannies, not trying to cover-up his after hours
calisthenics with the White House interns.

Selective memory - Echelon and Carnivore

These hypocrite DemocRat senators didn't have much to say about Echelon and Carnivore during the Clinton era.

And they act "shocked" even though they've been briefed on it before.

And what makes Sen. Levin think that the NSA is listening in on "American citizens"? It's more likely non-citizens (and probably illegally here) plotting against us from within our borders.

Shall we go back to putting our heads in the sand and pretending there are no terrorist among us?

DemocRats and the NY Times - they're with the terrorists.

Democrats, republicans, all the same

They each have their own nasty agenda. Yeah, Guess what, Carnivore and Echelon are pretty much defunct. They run on age-old technology that can't keep up. While trying to rebuild carnivore, the governement ceased doing so.

But I'd say that that damned Patriot Act hurts us more than either of the above mentioned programs ever have.

[Bill Dautrive]

Yeah right

If you don't support Bush in his quest to dismantle to constitution and bill of rights, then you are with the terrorists. I guess you could belive that if you are a moron like Bush.

Oh well,

Oh well,I believe the following oath applies to thef the office of the President of the United States "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Alas, note the final seven words, which means he is neither above, nor exempt from any laws or treaties, enacted by the houses of congress and signed into law!, by existing and/or past Presidents, until such time they are rescinded by law!

What else can one say?
