Visualize: A Democratic president with the full powers of the Patriot Act
And the full powers to order wiretapping of anybody he/she wants without a court order!

Heh, heh!!! Muuuuuuuuhhhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!

Look out Christian Coalition! Look out all you columnists at Townhall.com! Not to mention all of the neo-con "think tanks" that will have to be monitored for possible terrorist activity.

2. I'm sure the RW Media will accept the unitary powers of the next
Democratic President. Sure, Alito will champion this ideal. State Rights won't be an issue, either. With all the precedents that Congress has ceded Bush, we'll get them to work for the American people instead of against us.

3. Think of it; hidden microphones at Bob Jones University.
Wired infiltrators at Falwell's Liberty Baptist Church. Michelle Malkin followed by the "new" CIA wherever she goes. Spies watching Dr. Dobson as he showers with his son. The financial records of Republican Congressmens' wives exposed to the public. Wiretapping of Young Republican and Club For Growth meetings. Yup! What's good for the goose is even better for the gander.

4. Heck, there should be archives of that stuff already...
You know this gang is already spying on their 'friends'. What better way to keep everyone in line. If you knew they had something on you, would you vote against their wishes?

5. Ask Presidents Gore & Kerry.
There ain't gonna be a Democratic president until and unless we stop the Republicans from manipulating/stealing elections. Passage of the so-called and horribly mis-named "Patriot" Act was a low point and a dangerous blight on this country and history will ultimately recognize it as such, even if we are forced to suffer with it now under BushCo and his fascistic regime.

6. Oh, stop scaring republicans.
Everybody knows Democrats are the party of morality, and won't sink to Bush's depths! :)

8. Can we shut down Free Republic and arrest all its members?
I sure hope so. And I sure hope those Freepers don't find out what we're planning or they'll wet themselves. Won't you, Freepers?

9. Why they never get this I don't know, but the smarter ones just
believe there never will be another Democratic president.

They hate "disunity." That hate free speech. They were frothing at the mouth during their Gulf War I triumphalism that the Democrats would not even dare run a candidate in the next election, Bush I was so popular. (The Democrats dared and Clinton won).

They really do want to do away with self government, so they can be in charge. They hate that people think for themselves, preferring to think that they can have "unity" by just keeping access to information and arguments away from the People.

11. To be honest
I don't care to give up my liberties to a liberal any more then I do to a republican.

12. all you need to do is out the finances
The president can simply make public the report of every
single penny spent by government and where it went.

Methinks that a more appropriate application of a new
democratic president after the patriot act is ended.
