Any problems I have with Ashcroft are more than overshadowed by his position on the 2nd Amendment.

Does this mean you won't be reporting suspected terrorists in a community near you? Of course not, it means that we don't need a massive government program encouraging people to spy on their neighbors.

Mr. Ashcroft should take a leaf out of Rummy's book and retaliate the way Rummy does - talk straight and make the liberal media look like the idiots they are.

You're right...Every headline sounds like the Dems at work..aimed at the usual "herd" mentality.
Remember when the Dems insisted that the airport workers be federalized against Bush's wishes. Now they won't give the department the money to put the the new FED employees and detectors in place by the deadline.
What a lot of crap.
Last week the market drop could only be caused by the present administration.
Now Ashcroft..Get the job done but when you do, we're gonna criticize you for everything we can think of.
I'm getting the message that there is something called Political Greed...where being a Politician and collecting those benefits is better than the stock market. A big fat Federal Pension and all the other benefits are the big payoffs (Ask Gary Condit, ask the Clintons...They'll tell you how it works.
How do we get rid of some of these sleezy politicians??
Term limits might be a start!

Of course not, it means that we don't need a massive government program encouraging people to spy on their neighbors. How is a telephone tip line a massive government program?
To: jwalsh07
Well, what I was referring to was the new TIPS program, wherein the government hires people to spy on those in their community. If someone is buying 5 tons of fertilizer and a Ryder truck, I'm sure as hell gonna talk to the FBI about it.

At least he allows you the right to have gun in your home to defend yourself.
To: caltrop
Amen to Ashcroft re the right to keep and bear arms. For his work in clarifying and defending that right alone, he deserves our thanks and support. When he goes wrong, it's because he's let the Clinton holdover DOJ pr staff talk him into acting more "moderate" i.e., appeasing the insatiable media appetite for pc leftist claptrap. Stick to your guns, John.

I have a severe problem with Ashcroft okaying using private citizens to spy on Americans and spying on places of worshipHey! Thane! Then don't go to those places. Stay away from my neighborhood watch. Your idea of an American and most others is most likely at opposite ends of the universe.
To: Thane_Banquo
I have a severe problem with Ashcroft okaying using private citizens to spy on Americans and spying on places of worship. I live within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant. On my way to work I drive past a gasoline pipeline/tank farm, an asphalt/propane rail head and the water supply for most of the Raleigh-Durham area.
What's wrong with having one number to call if I see something suspicsious?
I've read too many of these stories where someone spots something bad and goes through hell trying to find an appropriate authority to report it to.
BTW, did you know we're at war? Did you know there are thousands of terrorists in America? Do you know where they'll strike next?

Ah, John Ashcroft....
He who disbanded the campaign finance task force...which means Chinagate, which means national security. The fellow who sent away that task force's head, Robert Conrad, the same Conrad who told JReno to appoint an IC to investigate Gore. The same fellow who acts in a manner that says its okay to fine the shareholders of Loral $several million while the criminals go free. John Ashcroft, who ignores government corruption inthe lynx fur and BIA backdate corruption.
John Ashcroft, the sanctimonious fraud and dangerous man....and none of these actions were forced upon him by the NYTimes.
To: Ted
So do the people that know him say that he's really a good guy, and really a Christian, and really an honest and trustworthy individual? This is where the conspiracy theories seem to falter: they require the Ashcrofts and Bushes of the world to be profoundly evil, but the people who know them don't find this to be the case.
To: Pokey78
If the NYT attacks Ashcroft, it means he's doing a good job. His standing with me just went up.

So when I'm making a delivery at the Port of Tampa, ans I see some middle eastern looking individuals hanging arounf the Ammonium Nitrate pipe lines, I should just keep my mouth shut...right?????
To: caltrop
after OKC everyone saw thru the set-up and denounced the phoney anti terror law made as a result of it....just because the SAME govt changes the letter from "D" to "R" on its hat and spouts " iam a christian, i am a christian!!" you-all roll over and play dead. and to think i trusted you, my PHONEY fellow americans!!! its all slogans to most of you....take them away and,,,well, you, you're giving away all of your freedoms AND THE GUNS THAT GO WITH THEM, for the power trip of agreeing with the guys with the biggest guns....BUT THEY'RE NOT YOURS!!! so sorry
To: LarryM
Norquist is a muslim lackey. He's mad at Ashcroft for going after his terrorist buddies. But that wont stop people who claim to be conservative from piling on. This should be fun to watch.
To: Pokey78
Beats being turned on by Liberals.....
To: Thane_Banquo
the new TIPS program, I'm with you....a very bad idea.
To: Argus
When he goes wrong, it's because he's let the Clinton holdover DOJ pr staff talk him into acting more "moderate" Well, that is just a ridiculous excuse for his actions, IMO.
