Ha Ha - must be a consevative. Well versed in name calling and emotional statements. You call a pre-emptive war, turning Iraq into a breeding ground for terrorists (not to mention billions of buckaroos wasted, thousands dead), tax breaks for the rich, running up the biggest national debt ever, pissing off and offending Arabs by the thousands the way to safety?? Oh no, this bunch has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they are on the WRONG PATH!! Dems will rule and millions will be happier for it - and, yes, safer! No doubt.

Liberal idiot judges at it again, trying to make America vulnerable to terrorists. Keep it up you idiot liberals and the conservatives will keep occupying the white house.

So as expected I am now given the Searing Truth website...which shockingly has no facts and is filled with more of these witty zingers he throws around. Who could have guessed a group with nothing to say has a website devoted to the idea?

I wonder how long it will be before Gonzo, and the Bushies start referring to the deciding judge as an 'Activist Judge'. Can't you just hear Tom Delay decrying a decision he disagrees with? I guess Lieberman will take his place now, huh?

These guys LOVE to brand others "activists" anytime there is a disagreement. It's almost like watching children interact.

Good - it's about time. The sooner they lock up this bush admin in jail the better. Liberal is not a dirty word but I do think conservative is rapidly becoming one. Liberals certainly can have plans, do, and would run things much better then this mafia centric lying bunch we now have. I see where rumsfield "outed" Pvt Darby. He's the man who pointed out WE were torturing people, whereas this is one of the reasons bush gave as to why we need to take out saddam!!! Thx to rumsfield, Darby and family must now live under military protection. Gawd the stupidity of it!!!! I can't take it! I'm sure the earlier writer is correct "bush and the boys" would just phone tap into see what the Dems are doing - or their industrial competition.

Look back at the sound bites about the re-directing of Social Security funds by Bush say that it's "your money". No, George, it is a social program that had it's roots in post depression America, when poor families lost every thing due to unscrupulous "investors" and had no choice but to put off sending Junior to college because they had to house Grandma because all the family money was lost in the depression. These guys are the Kings of Revisionist History and Changing Focus in the name of the Almighty Dollar.

With these guys, you just have to follow the money. The reason they start a warrantless wiretapping program in the name of national security masquerades the fact they can use this information for other purposes such as industrial espionage. Rather than following leads to arrest specific people, just wiretap all international calls and let the digital traps return results. With no controls in place, who's to say they can't create filters for these conversations to aid a familiar family friend who happens to have oil interests? Bush has active family interests in international businesses such as the Carlyle Group who are always looking for an edge in the international business scene.

We should also travel back in history, when the Cheney Administration took over in January 2001, and remember that they were set on chipping away at the Constitution well before 9/11.

Just like President Bush did not know there are Shiites & Sunnis in Iraq until 6 weeks before he illegally invaded Iraq. He is now learning that the USA is a Republic and NOT a Monarchy

The person who posted as "The Searing Truth" is great, I love when the side I oppose offers obvious propaganda. Every argument claims Bush lies, republicans are the devil and America is the real terror in the world. When the left can say nothing but hate and offer no plan of change it must mean they have nothing to really debate. Putin, Blair and Bush all thought WMDs would be found so it's time to move on.

Get informed about what's really going on in your government. 9/11 was a "false flag" government operation intended to establish a police state in America. Its is easy to write me off as a wacko and bury your head in the sand, but how about educating yourself instead. Since when does an airplane crash cause a building to implode on itself and dissolve into dust? Dan Rather himself said it looked like a controlled demolition, which is exactly what it was.

Have you all lost your minds? No! I guess that is because a terrorist has not cut your head off, yet!

I am willing, and you should be too, to begin to scarfice some of you rights, for your own protection! We are living in a different time, and place than when the laws were written that protected our freedoms. If we do not change our way of thinking and fighting, and re-write our own laws, the terrorist will do that for us.

You ...YOU...have the right to die!!

Don't bother replying to this comment... until you wake up America. We are at war... We have been since the 1980's. It is a different war. Much like the Early Americans changed the way the fought to beat the British, so has the terrorist changed the way that they are going to beat us! Don't help them...Please!! Please!! wake up!

Bush doesn't make sense. If a person is speeding because they don't agree with the speed limit, then I suppose it is okay to speed no matter how many people you hurt.

And if caught, for your defense you use the taxpayers money to fight laws that you don't think are right?

Is this what he wants to teach our children?

Finally, some justice. Has his program actually helped anything? NO. Now he knows how it feels to want something so badly, so "essential", only to be told NO by the judicial system. I can't say that word enough... finally finally finally. Maybe once him and his administration step down (and if you ask me he SHOULD be impeached) - maybe this country will become a better place, maybe the WORLD will become a little more peaceful. He started this war, and once hes not "in charge" anymore, lets end it. His string of stupid decisions and law breaking behavior have gone on long enough, I'll be glad to see him go. Lets try a democrat next time... anyone remember the Clinton administration? The biggest thing to hit the nation was the whole *** scandal! Not some war on terror that has the whole world up in arms being lied to.
