Rinos our very own version of the Quislings and this proves it.
This is a leftest article that Arlen set up a week or so ago, by his comments. They are using him like a pig at a barbecue roast to get at Bush.
Is that 'Leftist shadow government' i.e. CIA elements - putting something in the water to push these Rinos 'over the top' or what?
LOL!
The British press is growing more and more clueless.
I'm pretty Arlen (Dershotiwz) isn't speaking for the people he uh, "represents", and I hope to hell the final vote tally proves it too!
It's past time to get letters, emails, and telephone calls going. Washington air must be so polluted that they've all lost their minds--or whatever minds they had to begin with.
If the Rats arguments held any water then because FISA has no exception clause for Presidential Authorities then FISA becomes unconstitutional because it can't trump the constitution without a constitutional amendment. Jimmy Carter couldn't handle his obligations so he tried to pass it to the Judiciary.
This session of Congress is being brought to you by the letterS "S" "T" "F" "U"
Most GOP Congressman know that if they oppose the President they can kiss their re-election goodbye.
Okay, I am putting this out here so I might be able to say I told you so. I call it the Karl Rove longball theory.
In normative political theory President's in off year elections such as 2006 cannot gain seats in Congress. Unusual circumstances must prevail in order for this to happen.
Republicans stand to lose seats in the Senate in a worst case scenario this fall. According to my long ball theory, the Whitehouse is approving this "revolt" to set up a public backlash against Congressional aggression on an issue they clearly cannot win.
Making the Senate the locus of the action centers public anger in the right place for Bush to possibly pick up a seat or two in the Senate which would be a huge success. NSA wiretap keeps terrorism as a key congressional issue and improves Republican chances overall. Presently, opinion polls show 60-70 percent of the public solidly behind the White House's position on wiretaps.
I think the Whitehouse is leaking info to cause Congressional investigations-- perhaps even pretentious impeachment hearings-- which we may recall actually boosted Bill Clinton's approval.
I could be wrong.
Did Arelen read the story today about the guy who lived for years in Utah. Married an American girl and was caught in Baghdad with explosives and charged with helping the insurgency? These are the sorts of people the President is hoping he can stop. There are for more than this guy who still live here. Are Jihadist and sitting in sleeper cells waiting to be activated by a phone call.
And Arelen, are you going to explain to America why nobody can live in Cleaveland or some other city for 100's of years because of a dirty bomb, or 100,000's dead due to a biological or chemical weapon?Arlen are you there? Hello?
Well Bush wanted everyone to vote for Arlen Specter last year, now he is reeping what he sowed. Senator Specter will lead the impeachment if necessary knowing him.
Then we can all call Karl Rove, see dumb ass this is what we said would happen.
Besides Spector, who else is on this "collision course"?
wonder if Bush has learned his lesson on supporting people like specter?
Where's DeLay when we really need him? -- that Rino woman is an embarassment.
Screw Congress....the so-called peoples' representatives. Ask Americans what they want.
It is things like this that continue to lead me to tell RNC telemarketers that I will not send the RNC a dime.
The Supremes will rule against FISA [versus presidential powers], IF...they follow the constitution.
I don't believe 'civil liberties' have a damn thing to do with anything. Perhaps they want in on the action to claim 'credit' for the war on terror. The demoRATS have been shown to be wishy/ washy on National Security so if they can change the public belief that they cannot be really trusted with National Security ... its a win win.
If it leaks out (which it will) whats the big deal, nothing ventured , nothing gained. They have nothing to loose because Bush is getting the credit for the effective war on terror (no attacks on US soil) so if he's damaged ..... so what. If the RAT's can take some of the credit ...(yes they truly have dreams) then it will be worth it. The citizens of the Nation will come out on the loosing end when 'Congress and the Senate' is briefed because it WILL BE LEAKED, therefore lose it's effectiveness, expose the Nation to further terrorism.
