I mean the poor widdle guys are watching their popularity tank.

The evoting scandals are becoming widely known AND even believed, and the machines are being banned and decertified.

DeLay, Abramoff, soon Frist have been busted along with all the corrupt power that went with that.

The global environment belies their lies that there is no global warming.

How are they going to continue to seize outrageous amounts of power given the above?

I mean they have to have SOME unfair, illegal, skullduggery to prop up their abusive usurpation of powers they could never acquire fairly and honestly.

Poor little guys.

3. Or how about using wasps?
WASPs, to be precise. Angry, stinging WASPs...

Ahhh, the irony.

12. I knew that was what you meant! Guess I was spelling it out for
anyone who might not have understood the reference.

Very clever use of the word on your part!!

2. "How are they going to continue to seize ... power..."
There will either BE a "terror attack", or one will be "thwarted" by intelligence gathered through wire taps.

4. See? They need the wiretaps to "thwart" an attack, and/or to
implement the mihop or lihop on the attack.

OT:

Ed Schultz is letting * have it right now.

It has to be different for Schultz and Franken to be on Armed Forces Radio instead of a steady diet of Rush.

6. If a terror attack is "thwarted", how will anyone even know if there
actually was one?
"Hey look over there... Shinny."

"That's a terrorist attack because we say so. And because we say so we have to declare Martial Law."

Yeah, that'll go over real well.

7. They'll trot out people to speak spontaneously on their first hand
information that there was an attack that was thwarted.

You know, like the troops in the conversations with *, THAT kind of spontaneous exchange and testimony.

:rofl:

8. That was intended to be tongue-in-cheek...
But the last laundry list of "near misses" was believed by Repugs. It keeps idiots scared enough to keep voting for them. :shrug:

10. So they need the wiretaps to intercept anything that might cause
the "base" from beginning to look for the truth.

After all, we all know that "It's a tough job."
