December 28, 2005--Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely.

Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure.

Tom Daschle is deeply saddened. Watch how fast this subject drops from the news.

Game.Set.Match.

If you listen very carefully, you can almost hear Reid, Pelosi, et al let out a little sob.

"Watch how fast this subject drops from the news."

LOL..and the dem playbook!

[satchmodog9]

I doubt it. I think they will hammer the issue harder than ever. The MSM is in the business of forcing an agenda and manufacturing news they feel is politically expedient to their cause.

The RATS will now change the subject matter to "minority rights" even though a majority don't favor this "minority right".

[conservativecorner]

So the liberal MSM has miserably failed once again! Good news for the security of our nation, and a slap in the face to the NYT for their non story.

The sheeple aren't so sheepish after all.

Sorry demonrats!!!!

Apparently America doesn't hate America as much as the Old York Times hates America!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[Brilliant]

Does that mean with or without a warrant?

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

You've gotta wonder what possessed them to dredge up this old news in a non-election year. This could have been a potential October surprise last year or next year, but they saved it till they saw the uptick in Dubya's approval rating. I'm not complaining, but it makes no sense.

[slowhand520]

This is a media driven subject. It is common sense for the president to take such actions. Even 51% of dumbacrats begrudgingly agree.

[conservativecorner]

From your lips to God's ears! It will only help the Republicans in 2006. The public doesn't trust demoncrats with security for our nation, and this sure as Hell won't help their cause.

[JimRed]

I hope that includes Saddam and his commie lawyers...

[JimRed]

...listening in on Saddam and his commie lawyers, that is.

[Wasanother]

The more the Rats try to play the warrant-less card the more the President will gain because most people agree that the FISA court is probably not able to properly address issues of Constitutional Authorities.

Chrissie Maphews is 'gonna be pissed when he comes back from his week at the spa!

[antonico]

You're right. They will continue to hammer it. Which is why the numbers are as they are now. The more ferocious they are in pushing this story, the more it'll backfire on them, as these numbers show.

[tomahawk]

Only 64%? Pathetic.

That means 36% are fools.
