Gov Dean: Obvious That Hayden's Involvement In Spying DISQUALIFIES Him

[kpete]

Govenor Dean on General Hayden's Nomination
Governor Dean sent the following message to Democrats across the country today.

As the director of the National Security Agency, Michael Hayden oversaw the creation of the massive domestic spying program revealed last week. Now George Bush wants him to run the CIA.

After yesterday's hearings, it's obvious that Hayden's involvement in the NSA's domestic spying program disqualifies him from heading the CIA. His answers to questions from Congress and from the press have been evasive at best and downright false at worst. The Bush administration's chronic pattern of misleading the American people about the full extent of its domestic spying activities was on full display yesterday, and the American people deserve better.

We can't be fooled by the rhetoric from the Republicans: domestic spying is not a partisan issue. Democrats will do what it takes to keep America safe, and support tracking down al-Qaeda and preventing future attacks, but we want the President to follow the law. Domestic spying is one more Bush-imposed chink in the constitutional armor that shields Americans' fundamental rights from over-reaching by the government.

When the Senators meet to decide on Hayden's confirmation, they must hear the voices of their constituents. We want to deliver the voices of 100,000 Americans who oppose this nomination. Will you add your name?

1. Everyone remember to click that link and sign the petition! nm

[Jack Rabbit]

3. Done.

Additional comment:

No one who oversaw the NSA program should have any position of responsibility in government.

The program should disqualify Hayden and form the basis for an article of impeachment against Bush and Cheney.

Remember that epeisode on South Park when Cartman is abducted and that huge dish comes out of his ass. I'd like to see that happen to Hayden. I know he has one shoved up there, the grimace on his grotesque face proves it.

Hayden is as qualified for his job as Condi was for hers. That did not keep Democratic traitors from voting for or supporting Condi. Careful watch needs to be kept this time to see which Democrats vote for this POS.

15. Is this a promise to withhold DNC $$$ from DEMs who confirm him?

Or at the least, to set up an option where we can donate to a separate fund within the DNC where our money wont go to pro-Bush DEMS?

Some of us suggested this after the Pro-Bush DEMs nixed the Alito Filibuster too.

Exactly what is the result of this tough talk, Mr. Dean? Once it is said and done, will you set up a separate fund so we can donate to the DNC w/o supporting pro-Bush, anti 4th Amendment Democrats?

Proudly signed.

Also I added that the spying on inocent citizens must end. The founders knew that an outside power wasn't our greatest threat, but that distruction would come from within.

29. Question: Why does the Democratic Party website have a

headline "Corruption and Abuse of Power" at the top of the page -- while that's what we're fighting, I don't think I'd design it right under the party title. Just a design observation!
