This poll is referred to on the C-Span organization.
Do you agree with President Bush's decision allowing domestic surveillance without court order?
POLL: Do you agree with President Bush's decision allowing surveillance of communications with suspected foreign terrorists...?
40 - 60 now
Fallaciously worded poll. Still, I voted Yes, and it's up to 38% Yes.
59% Yes
41% No
KEEP IT UP!!!!
Seeing how there is a man that I trust in the Whitehouse to do the right thing, YES, I fully support his decision.
Had it been Carter, Clinton, Gore or Kerry in the Whitehouse making this decision I know I would feel different.
"I've heard this too. Is there somewhere you can cite that I can push to my liberal friends?"
Echelon.
You don't have to be worried about this. Are you communicating overseas with al queda suspects that the cia is monitoring in countries like pakistan.
FISA court would be unconstitutional according to you to then if you don't want your rights taken away from you.
Clinton did domestic to domestic spying different than from sources originating overseas to the u.s
Their is no domestic to domestic spying here. No one's rights are taken away from them.
CIA has to act in real time they can't have to determine if their is an emergency with this suspect to make the determination with fisa. Who would decide that emergency. Is Bush supposed to order them to contact fisa everytime he thinks their is an emergency.
The whole war on terror should be stopped because the media will just leak it out into the media anyway. So tired of hearing about this war in our liberal newspapers. Just withdraw all the troops stop all the anti terrorist measures.
But when we get attacked don't have the nerve to scream at Bush.
Patriot act is over, no more aggressive interrogations.
Just withdraw from the middle east already because we will never hear the end of it in the press. Stop all the wiretaps.
If a terrorist is on the hunt in the u.s you will have no way of tracking him in a city without the patriot act.
If people don't care about terrorist attacks then stop all the anti terrorist measures and let the terrorists have all their rights and freedoms to hit us.
I'm not Congress, I like to know the specifics prior to casting a vote.
57% Yes
43% No
WE'RE GETTING THERE!!!!!
Though you wouldn't know it from FR, believing that the Federal government is constrained by the provisions of the Constitution - and should be - is not a 'liberal' idea.
FReepitty-BUMP!
I hope that you are proud to share your political philosophy with Britney Spears.
44% no, 56% yes. Getting Freeped.
Doesn't the constitution give the president the power to protect the u.s.
How is tracking foreign muslum al queda terrorists calls overseas hurting your rights.
Only people that are really worried about this are jihadist muslums in our own country.
This has stopped numerous attacks. How in the world are you supposed to stop attacks if you can't track their calls in real time.
The liberals screaming about this are also screaming about bush for 9/11. These wiretaps would have stopped 9/11 but the muslum community would have screamed about terrorists losing their rights.
Clinton had FBI files to go after his enemies. Clinton spied domestic to domestic phone calls.
If you aren't going to allow the president to take action to defend the country in the constitution then you shouldn't have a president.
If people are so paranoid about this then stop all anti terrorist measures and then the terrorists can have all their rights back.
I am for either taking a hard line with these terrorists or stopping this war on terror completely. Their is no gray line here. Either you go after them with full force or you draw down and let attacks happen in the name of rights.
I added other links, such as Carnivore and Cointelpro to the list in post #30 on that link. As I said there:
Decades worth of citizen surveillance...but now all of a sudden, the left is "outraged" and the far right fringe is screaming about about "jack booted thugs". {Sigh...}
FReeped...down to 54-46
Who is Britany Spears?
