While engaging a rightie on the spy issue...
...he actually wrote this:

---------------------

"...Bush was not spying on "US" as you state above. He was spying on our enemy's...........please try integrating that fact into you ideas. He was not spying on us................I will have to state it several times because I feel you are reading right past it.
He was not spying on us. He was not spying on us.
Some Presidnets have done that in the past but not Bush.....at least not yet as far as we know.
He was in fact spying on our ENEMY's........not on "us"

---------------------

OMG!!!!

:banghead:

3. It's like he's trying to convince himself.
Tell him we don't know WHOM Bush** is spying on - that's why we need investigations. Then watch him spin himself silly.

NGU.

6. I told him this
"So you want to believe.
Without a secure check and balance we just don't know.

You can hope he isn't using intel gathered to broaden his political power via blackmail, bribery, and other forms of corruption, but you just don't know. Why such blind trust from you?
The select and secret FISA court was not consulted...why?

BTW: Every President has used the FISA court since it's inception."

7. What's more, it doesn't matter WHO was spied upon - what Bush**...
...admitted to is A CRIME. We didn't let Nixon get away with it. Why should we let Bush**??

4. IF it were true it was only foreign surveillance, there would have been NO
uproar.

5. The fact is, no one knows WHO he is spying on!
That was the purpose of FISA. Right now, only Bush and the NSA know who's being spied on.

"Trust me." Why? You've already lied too many times!

12. Teach him how to communicate in English first.
"enemy's" ?

Funny how these people distrust the big bad government until their people gain control. Then their motto is "we must trust the government!"
