Ok Al, "There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law."
-- Al Gore, seven times (in one form or another), White House news conference, March 3

"Forty years have passed since the majority of Americans adopted television as their principal source of information. Its dominance has become so extensive that virtually all significant political communication now takes place within the confines of flickering 30-second television advertisements."

-What about those three lengthy Bush/Kerry debates???

And the political economy supported by these short but expensive television ads is as different from the vibrant politics of America's first century

-You mean when they were shooting each other by the hundreds of thousands in the Civil War?

as those politics were different from the feudalism which thrived on the ignorance of the masses of people in the Dark Ages.

-Huh? Dark Ages? WTF?

The constricted role of ideas in the American political system today has encouraged efforts by the Executive Branch to control the flow of information as a means of controlling the outcome of important decisions that still lie in the hands of the people.

-Bush is controlling the flow of information? Then how is the Free Press stabbing our Troops in the back nearly every day???

The Administration vigorously asserts its power to maintain the secrecy of its operations. After all, the other branches can't check an abuse of power if they don't know it is happening.

-Let's forget secret operations and just broadcast all our safety measures to Osama so he can kill us in the largest numbers possible. Gore knows we never had any secrets against the Nazi's or Japs, that would be dangerous to us.

Let's do it. Have a special counsel investigate eavesdropping all the way back to Roosevelt and write it up in several volumes. That way people will understand that our government eavesdrops all the time and has been for a long time and we're still a free nation. YOU IDIOT DEMS!

In the past couple of days I have seen a post that stated even Lincoln spied on the Confederate Army, which certainly were American citizens!!

From me, Gore's statements today just get a giant BFD.

(If you're not sure what that means I will reply with an explanation.)

[Waco]

No controlling legal authority pisant, now moveon, craphead.

[indcons]

Please explain..thanks

[Brilliant]

I think it's time to impeach Al Gore.

[Just mythoughts]

Guess old Rockefeller is truly gagged, had to get old algore to push his memo.

[nopardons]

Does that mean that that "special council" can then throw Clinton and algore into jail, because of their eavesdropping/ spying on AMERICAN CITIZENS, when they were president and V.P.? LOL

Poor algore, he has no working brain cells, whatsoever.

"A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government," he said.

Ya can't make this stuff up!

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.

...With a 3/4 empty bottle of Southern Comfort on the coffee table (hate for you to miss the whole picture.)

"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."

Anyone ever wonder what Vince Foster wanted to talk about?

[indcons]

LOL.....:)

[SAMS]

OK, he is not in ANY form of public office anymore. IMHO the only thing he can call for is Chinese take-out.
