Ping to Carter Use of electronic surveillance

[woofie]

I think a little rabbit told him to do it

[Carolinamom]

Sorry Sam...I meant to ping someone else to your excellent post.

This is why I don't put much stock in those on FR that bring up the fact that Bush cannot do certain things because that would set the precedent for democrats to do it too. The democrats have ALWAYS spied on Americans. The democrats will do what they want if and when they regain power. Bush cannot tie his own hands for fear of what democrats will do in the future anyway.

We were able to intercept communications between flying saucers and the mother ship back then?

Farrakan did.

[Carolinamom]

Ping....Carter used electronic surveillance w/out a warrent.

[satchmodog9]

Sorry, not a lib on this photo. That was another from my collection.

[Fresh Wind]

Farrakan did.

That doesn't count 'cause he's one of them.

Maybe it's time Bush called in Clinton's poker chips and give him a chance to "pay the piper" by writing an op-ed for the NYT stating how he also used executive orders and he wasn't a war president. Although Bush WAS only trying to rehab that reprobate by putting him and his own dad in charge of the tsunami and Katrina disaster funding groups, this might not be a bad time to ask for that favor to be returned! The least he could do is call off the attack dogs in his own party...

I've been out and about most of the day, so I missed a lot I'm sure. It doesn't surprise me that this is being brought up; they've been wanting revenge for Clinton's impeachment for a long time. Evil bunch, all of them.

So the great Jimmy Carter used the same powers as Bush and that was okay.

The great Bill Clinton used the same powers as Bush and that was okay.

Bush uses those same powers, post 9/11, with the approval and knowledge of Congress, and the left is talking impeachment.

Okey doke. If Republican Congressmen don't read this site, they had darned better start doing so immediately. Because I am going to be one ticked off freeper if I hear a bunch of lousy Republicans not knowing the facts. Again.

[woofie]

It was different back then ... A Democrat was in office

[silentknight]

Thank god...so that makes it okay?

I think not. Trampling on our rights...is always wrong. There is no excuse for this.

[bnelson44]

What right? They are only going after those who are calling al-Qaeda linked people. You calling people we all should know about?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

But Jimmah wasn't no fascist chimp Republican, so it was just dandy.

This whole "spying" dust up must be a Rove plot. I was angry, but I guess it is just another plot to get the Dems on the record as opposing the safety of the American people.
