All of you liberals don''t get it!!! Stop worrying about government spying on you... We MUST JOIN TOGETHER TO FIGHT THE GAY people. Oh, and we must not allow anyone to burn the flag.

Sincerely,
GOP leadership.

I think this finally reaches the point of an impeachable offense. Bush / Cheney not only openly flaunt their objection to the Constitution, but now believe they can releive Congress of their oversight activities. This reaches to the very core of our democracy and should be met with the utmost resistance. This should result in the ascension of President Pelosi to govern until 2008.

At every level and on every issue, the White House is resisting oversight of any kind. They''ve been using the eavesdropping program to spy on political enemies and they never thought they''d see the day when Congress would step up and do it''s job.

Orwell was only off by 16 years... This administration and this congress are the embodiment of what was supposed to be a work of fiction..

How intuitive this novel has become... big brother is here and if this electorate doesn''''t wake up and kick these neocons out of office all across the country, Soylent Green will be the next work of fiction to worry about.

What a f*ckin criminal government we have.

This about says it all about you loon Yellow DOg Progressives. Cleanup your foul mouth too, you''re language isdigusting.

October 15, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials got mired for nearly 10 hours seeking approval to use wiretaps against al Qaeda terrorists suspected of kidnapping Queens soldier Alex Jimenez in Iraq earlier this year.
This was on phones in Iraq not the USA.

I predict that the GOP will face a blood bath they had better take this man down soon or they will be gone with him in 2008. I have said it before if I was a GOP moderate Senator I would be trying to get the Democrats to impeach these two with the promise of removal by the GOP in the Senate before it is too late for these clowns. Of course by their actions they have proven they are not that bright and they will be removed by the American voters.

"retroactive legal immunity"? It would be criminal to allow such a thing. But what a strong admission of guilt to even request it.

Oh this is just GREAT!

Once again those bustwards are invoking their secret ********* to cover up laws they''ve broken.

Makes me wonder who they were REALLY listening in on in their quest for ''terrorists''. They pro''bly picked up some hot cybermail to blackmail their coharts into supporting his *** veto. If the lists were ever revealed...there might be anarchy among the DC ranks! Wouldn''t that be a hoot!

Or most likely they''re looking for information to block anything that comes up regarding their oil manifest destiny.

Encourage everyone you know to register and vote...and to urge every they know to do the same.

This is vital! Even though we know they can cheat the voting system. We have to be heard through our votes!

Any sort of "immunity clause" is in direct violation of the constitution.
