Democrats Scold White House Over Spying

Is there someone in the DNC that I can send money to to encourage them in this idiotic pursuit? OBL is issuing new threats against this country, and the Democrats are trying to raise an outcry over the rights of one of his pals in Detroit? Knock yourself out Howard Dean. I'm sure the American public is just as outraged as you are.

All of the naysayers about what President Bush supposedly did re: the NSA "scandal"...use the excuse.. WHAT IF a Hillary was elected..would you want her to have that power...and I have to say YES...of course... and, if she doesn't use that power...then she would be derelict in her duty as CIC...

Ok...gonna go against the grain here for debate and say NO. I don't want Hillary to have this power. No sitting President should have the power to ignore the founding documents of the US of A.

That said....do I think that the President had the good faith intent to protect the nation from harm? Absolutely and should be viewed under this light. ie..."Dem's can blow me". However...

My argument would be that regardless of this fact the duty of the Office of the President is to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States of America first and foremost and by doing so they protect all of us.

As a strict constitutionalist, I want no excuses for future presidents that we don't agree with to have powers over me that are subjective to selective interpretation. Too much room for abuse. This is too important a topic to give up these rights considering more people die every year of falling down stairs and car accidents then in all the history of terrorism. Once we give gov't too much power over us we'll never get it back.

My 2 cents for a Friday night.

WHAT IF a Hillary was elected..would you want her to have that power...and I have to say YES...of course...

Just as a reminder, Billary will do any damn thing they want if they are in the WH and no law or lack of a law are going to stop them. I get tired of hearing this "What if Hidelbeast was in the WH . . . . .

I know what you mean...and those that say NO they don't want HER to have that power...

So, Bush shouldn't NOW...are being scary silly...because, I don't know what is going to happen between now and when President Bush leaves office...BUT, if an attack happens, that could have been stopped...

Because of political fallout...then our country will be doomed anyway!

Let's set up a pool. Determine how many more terrorist attacks, large or small, have to occur before the Left will actually wise up. How many nuclear detonations, dirty bombs, chemical or biological weapons attacks have to occur? How many moms, dads, brothers, and sisters have to be blown apart in shopping malls by suicide bombers? How many American kids need to be blown apart in schools? How many disembodied little arms and legs do we need to see first-hand or on the evening news before these self-loathing pukes on the Left will finally end the disconnect and get in the game?

My bet is it will take a number of dreadful attacks on American soil that go well into double-digits before they get a clue.
