I'd love to hear you argue a case for Bush where you don't say 'Yeah, well someone else did it first' as your defense of this Administration.

The 4th Amendment was written with the people in mind. Not who believes what. You're saying that all the framers thought the same way just because there were no parties? Despite their differences, they had everyone in mind, not just their political interests. I think the current Administration needs to think on that.

I don't know if this current program that Bush is defending goes further into personal records or not. I don't know if my bank records are going to be analyzed. But I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was being monitored.

Your arguments that my opinions are nothing more than blind political rage is laughable. Go ahead, discount them. I could care less. It's true, I have a hard time embracing anything positive that Bush and his cronies can do. 100% true. It's like finding a bright side to Jack Abramoff for me. 'Yeah, he's done some wrong things but you're ignoring the good stuff he has done.' All credibility is gone for me once someone supremely fu cks up. And fu cking up in Iraq is a big one for me right now. 'Yeah, Bush messed up and 2500 US soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis are dead. But he did just create one of the biggest marine sanctuaries in the Pacific near your home state. Why don't you give him credit for that?' Oh yeah, I forgot. All is forgiven. Thanks, Dubya!

And as far as blaming the newspapers for covering this story... I'm tired of hearing from this Administration that any dissenting voice against Bush is:
1. Aiding terrorists.
2. Bad for morale with the troops.
3. Unpatriotic
4. Extreme activism

That's tired Roveian rhetoric.
