[rodeodance]

3. boy--Gonzalas is saying there was search activites during Clinton

administration.

[merbex]

4. A good little repug showing the world that he can parrot talking

points

Pathetic

[w8liftinglady]

5. Thanks for the heads-up

[merbex]

6. Caller talking about taking Christ out of Xmas

and unless you have something to hide what's wrong with wiretapping?

Unbelievable

[Bluzmann57]

10. So what has taking the Christ out of Christmas have to do with

illegal wiretapping. Sounds like the caller is scared and trying to divert attention away from the aforementioned illegalities. And I have nothing to hide, but I sure as hell don't want the president and his minions finding that out. The caller sounds like a pathetic person to me.

[bahrbearian]

18. O'Liely is that you, get off the line, let someone else talk.

[w8liftinglady]

7. good call from independent

praising gore,and saying they didn't have a fair vote

[rox63]

8. C'mon DUers

Call in and defend President Gore! I would if I wasn't at work.

[merbex]

9. Independents and Dems so far WOWED by Gore

there may be a second act in American politics with Gore after all

(I hope)

Caller liked Hillary but loved Gore's speech

[w8liftinglady]

11. and the repubs(so far) sound like kool-aid drinking cretins

[Grateful for Hope]

12. Caller discussing Gore for Pres 2008

Good call. Very positive toward the prospect.

[merbex]

13. Repug showing he lacks listening skills and that he has short term

memory loss

Scraping bottom of barrel here with repugs and that is saying something

[Cooley Hurd]

15. What was he, like 115 years old?

Unfortunately he's from my hometown of Auburn, NY...x(

[merbex]

14. First time caller wowed by Gore - moved to call c-span

[w8liftinglady]

16. these are the people that will cross over to the democratic side in 2006

..the independents that call

[merbex]

17. Repug caller putting 9/11 at feet of Clinton Administartion

[Cassandra]

27. Of course Clinton didn't do anything...

that's why the WTC bombers are in jail for life. :crazy:

[merbex]

19. Caller wished Gore had spoken like this while running for President

[w8liftinglady]

20. what the hell is this guy talking about?

[w8liftinglady]

22. one question-why is it the only thing repubs can do is lash out-

no defence for Bush's actions

[merbex]

21. Repug caller listing past power grabs by former Presidents

If he had listened or read the speech he would know that Gore mentioned many of his points

[mrcheerful]

46. He also laid Hoovers spying on MLK on dems.

Everyone knows Hoover spied on everybody at the bequest of the republican party. Name anyone that was in the media that Hoover saw as a threat to his political beliefs the he didn't order the FBI to ''gather'' information on.

[merbex]

23. Smokers are discrimainated against?

WTF?

[w8liftinglady]

24. lol..this Repub is a mental giant-and a kkk member

[Cassandra]

25. "Only smokers have no civil rights..."

"and smokers are white." Can this freeper get more self-absorbed than that?

[MarianJack]

26. Boy Oh Boy!

What a bunch of morons calling on the rethuglican line!

Smokers are the victims of discrimination, but blacks aren't! HOLY MOSES!

[merbex]

28. I always wonder when c-span abruptly switches gears/topics

that there just aren't any repug callers so we can't keep praising a Dem

[merbex]

29. Pro Gore from ALAbama

thinks he is head of Dem Party

[merbex]

30. Repug loved speech!!!!!

[Jeanette in FL]

32. Another one too

Said he was a republican, married a democrat and now has been on the fence, but would take out a loan to help Al Gore run for president. Yeah.

[merbex]

37. Dem from PA liked speech - doesn't like 1 party rule

brings up Abramoff

[merbex]

31. Independent loved speech!!!!!

[merbex]

35. Repug caller- wiretapping not as big as other issues

[nicknameless]

33. Thanks for doing this! (No cable)

:hi:

[CottonBear]

34. Only taking 5 Repub & Independent callers for each one Dem caller

Oops! A covert/converted Dem just called in on the Repub line...

Have y'all watched the MSM this AM? Media Matters will be all over CNN: they played a Gore clip (president breaking law) out of contect, then quoted Melmahn's RNC statement then showed Gonzalez on Larry King (last night) comparing Clinton era physical searches to Bush's warrantless wiretaps. :grr:

edit: Repub caller just compared Gore to Hitler :eyes:. They must have gotten a call from KKKarl to call in and babble about USA not a democracy but rather a constitutionally limited Republic (fave Boortz line).

Woman Dem calling for impeachment N OW and for Gore to run again!

[qanda]

41. C-SPAN does this all the time

And they need to be called on it.

[cantstandbush]

[merbex]
