etc, etc ........
Nothing any politician has to say has much interest to me anymore. I just wish they wouldn't take up the airwaves to say it. Speeches by politicians are nothing more than partisan cheerleading sessions to state that the 'other side' doesn't know what they're talking about. No matter which party's politician gives the speech
Merry Christmas!
I have two eyes, one for the BEAR game, t'other for our Fine President (ready to record speach also...)
I would like him to skewer the DemonRats re: the NSA leaks. Get the AG on it NOW! FBI will interview every Senator...these leaks must stop!
"Don't call us traitors...we aren't traitors... we love our country....we just see her as the root of all the evil in the world... sigh, if we would just allow the Islamic lunatics to take us over...then we could all live in peace..."
Democrats... I hate them.
Didn't Levin cry in his beer about the Iraqi Constitution and Election COULD POSSIBLY lead to A CIVIL WAR?? Before the election even happened??
So if they pulled it before the election, why not after, as you say. 'Course, they have no guts so they would never come right out and say the election was a bad thing. But they will weasel all around trying to send a message to people that things are not good there and that would include the fact that 11 million Iraqi's turned out to vote.
LOL.
What a message the Dems have to push on the public!! No wonder they have to push so HARD!
KOGO.COM will carry it live on the internet.
Well, go make your snack. The rest of us will be listening to history.
Thanks for the PING Howlin, and while I've got your attention, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Better yet...have them release a transcript and then have President Bush give a DIFFERENT speech...LOL
I'm halfway through......"some" people may not get one.....LOL.
Freeper angkor has posted the exact law and language that guides the feds on spying within the United States. Anyone interested can read it here:

okay. A little broad. I know LOGO wont carry it or Current TV. But will their sister stations ABC, CBS and NBC?
You, too. Mass. Hey, has it been cold enough for you up there? :-)
Doesn't matter what Bush says...the Dems will continue to CRASH. LOL
I think he has the authority under the authorization in 2001 to follow terrorist communications where they lead. Furthermore he got excellent advice when he was told to notify members of the Intelligence Committees. If they wanted to stop it, they could have.
I'm glad there will be a lot of posts; it shows interest -- and I can find out things I've missed lately by being in and out.
Good. then since you have no interest, maybe you can finish your Christmas shopping tonight rather than waste your time here.
Reid is inconsequential in this matter.
Pelosi is different, 10 years on the House Intelligence Committee means she would have heard about the surveillance under 50 USC 1802, which is the statute of concern. Please everyone read the following carefully, no law has been broken:
50 USC 1802
1802. Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; certification by Attorney General; reports to Congressional committees; transmittal under seal; duties and compensation of communication common carrier; applications; jurisdiction of court Release date: 2005-03-17
(a) (1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801 (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801 (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; [e.g., defined as terrorists /angkor]
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person [e.g. citizen or perm. resident /angkor] is a party; and
(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801 (h) of this title; and if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.
Bump for later.
