Yes, poor ole slobbering Al -- like his mentor and partner in crime, he just cannot stay out of the spotlight nor can he keep his stupid mouth shut....time after time.
Pssst. Gore. We're all amused how it was okay for the Clinton administration to spy on Alrich Ames without a warrant. And how you used Echelon to spy on Americans without a warrant. All in your quest to catch, gasp, drug dealers.
He needs a special jacket.
It was just a few months ago the likes of Gore and Cindy Sheehan were complaining that Bush wasn't listening to the American people...
Republican as well as Democratic members of Congress should support the bipartisan call of the Liberty Coalition for the appointment of a special counsel to pursue the criminal issues raised by warrantless wiretapping of Americans by the President.
Second, new whistleblower protections should immediately be established for members of the Executive Branch who report evidence of wrongdoing -- especially where it involves the abuse of Executive Branch authority in the sensitive areas of national security.
Third, both Houses of Congress should hold comprehensive-and not just superficial-hearings into these serious allegations of criminal behavior on the part of the President. And, they should follow the evidence wherever it leads.
Fourth, the extensive new powers requested by the Executive Branch in its proposal to extend and enlarge the Patriot Act should, under no circumstances be granted, unless and until there are adequate and enforceable safeguards to protect the Constitution and the rights of the American people against the kinds of abuses that have so recently been revealed.
Fifth, any telecommunications company that has provided the government with access to private information concerning the communications of Americans without a proper warrant should immediately cease and desist their complicity in this apparently illegal invasion of the privacy of American citizens.
Freedom of communication is an essential prerequisite for the restoration of the health of our democracy.
It is particularly important that the freedom of the Internet be protected against either the encroachment of government or the efforts at control by large media conglomerates. The future of our democracy depends on it.
Headlines later today and tomorrow:
GORE CALLS FOR SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION OF BUSH - Hints at Impeachment of President for Abuse of Power in Domestic Spying Scandal.
When he was in the Toon admin he didn't object to "warrantless surveillance" E-SPY HYPOCRISY
Tell Owl, sorry, there's no controlling legal authority, so there can't be any impeachment.
Carter and Clinton did this too. President Bush did not break the law.
Al Gore, please leave the stage. Your 15 minutes were up a long time ago. Piss off already, your point is partisan and not based in fact or justice. You serve the enemies of the State by levelling such a charge. You are a useful idiot.
I can just see Gore, in the wee hours of morning, spending another sleepless night sitting in an overstuffed chair with Tipper curled up at his feet, and he stares into the glowing embers of a dying fire, wishing, rueing, regretting, resenting ever having had invented that damned internet.
I'd like to see a special counsel look into why "Hell fire and brimstone" Al (See the picture in post #5) tried to steal the 2000 election from President Bush in Florida.
Ain't life grand?
Yup. Its also the reason for their term "culture of corruption".....they are trying to sway public opinions to deciding the republicans are the ones who are corrupt...so as to ease the coming pain from the Barret Report.
We still haven't gotten a special counsel to investigate Chinagate because Al Gore told Janet Reno that "there is no controlling authority."
