Yahoo: Gore Assails Domestic Wiretapping Program

[Sticky]

By LARRY MARGASAK, Associated Press Writer 4 minutes ago

WASHINGTON _Former Vice President
Al Gore asserted Monday that
President Bush "repeatedly and persistently" broke the law by eavesdropping on Americans without a court warrant and called for a federal investigation of the practice.

Speaking on Martin Luther King Jr.'s national holiday, the man who lost the 2000 presidential election to Bush only after a ruling by the Supreme Court on a recount in Florida, called Bush's warrantless surveillance program "a threat to the very structure of our government." Gore charged that the program has ignored the checks and balances of the courts and Congress.

10. they are focusing on only one small portion ...

in reality it was a speech about a constitutional crisis. The expansion of the powers of the executive branch and the weakening of both the legislative and judicial branches....

It was far more than just wiretapping.

20. 100 more votes than the top story listed on their home page

and they are still supressing it. Makes me sick.

21. Al Gore Did Not Lose the 2000 Presidential Election

He won by 500,000 some votes, and some.

It was stolen. To think any differently would mean you've been living on Mars, or a Bush supporter. Hmmm. 'Bout the same thing.
