So When Hillary Has the Right to SPY on the Freepers, That Will Be Okay?



Okay, glad to hear it. Now that illegality is just a matter of debate, a difference of opinion, I assume the freepers won't change their mind on this once Hillary is president. No need for Hillary to divulge to any court who she is spying on. The freepers will be willing to just take her word for it. Right?

Bush is CAMPAIGNING for the right to BREAK the LAW without consequences. Unbelievable.




At NSA today, Bush to back spy effort
President targeting independent voters undecided about eavesdropping program
By Julie Hirschfeld Davis
Sun reporter
Originally published January 25, 2006

WASHINGTON // When President Bush addresses employees at the National Security Agency today, he will also be aiming his message at millions of independent voters who have not made up their minds about the agency's warrantless eavesdropping program, pollsters and strategists say.

Opinion surveys have found that the public is split along partisan lines over whether Bush should have secretly authorized the NSA surveillance operation on people inside the United States. Republicans overwhelmingly approve, and Democrats are strongly opposed.

Independents are divided about whether it was proper, surveys indicate.

"They're not as rigid or convinced either direction like partisans," said Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll. "They're certainly more in play."

1. Why not.... Bush already spies on the Freeps
He spies on plenty of republicans and rightwingers.
That's priority one - it's how he keeps his base in line.

Apparently the dumbass freeps are cool with that... I wonder how they'll
feel once they get tax audited or refused for medical insurance
or fired from their job because of some unknown "informed source"

2. Watching Freeps is like watching an ant farm.

Mindless, brainless drones doing the same old useless stuff over and over.

6. Freepers actually have a history of terrorism. See OKC Bombing.
Still, probable cause is a must. No President has been given authority to spy on Americans without a warrant, and I don't think that's going to change.

8. I don't want her either
But if anyone can give freepers conniptions she's it. Imagine if President Clinton II inherits the right to break the law from King Bush. It will be very amusing.

9. I Agree there would be Irony there
I'm just nearly as mad at her as I am about the "Bush Crime Family", Molly Ivans said it best in her last column: http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/news/columnists/molly_ivins/13679208.htm
