I will say again.....I do not like that this is happening. My point is that everyone is acting so shocked that it is happening. It is nothing new.
The interesting thing is that I am not vilifying Clinton or Carter in their actions. I have no doubt that they intended it to be for the gathering of foreign intelligence, but that it most likely also crossed into the domestic.
You don't see me being hard on Clinton or Carter about it. Again, my point is that everyone who seems so shocked KNOWS it has gone on.
Of course there are Republicans upset about it. As am I. One widely respected Republican - who I am not a fan of, by the way - McCain, said he believes it was justified and legal. Colin Powell has also said the same thing.
So....I am justifying nothing. I said if Bush has committed a felony, let him be impeached. I am pointing that it is nothing new, and those in the know in Washington who act like it is are sickening to me.
I really don't know how to make my point anymore clear. If you disagree with it, great - wouldn't be the first time around here, for sure. But I think you believe I am doing somehting that I am not, giving my approval to it (the domestic part of it) because it is Bush, and at the same time justifying it because Clinton and Carter both did similar things. Just pointing out that it is nothing new.
