OK, well to save credibility, you guys better be critical of Obama when it finally dawns on you that he's not ending it. I'll be checking.

Magnetic Poles, you are correct. The hypocrisy of some of our conservative posters concerning this issue as it relates to governmental intrusion is astounding!
Don't spin off topic. If you want to discuss welfare, start a new thread. Where does the Constitution allow warrantless spying on American citizens?Revmitchell said:National defense is specifically outlined in the constitution. Welfare and income stealing is not.
If he goes off on a tangent, "Youbetcha!"Bro. Curtis said:You gonna tell DF to stay on topic, as well ?

It may yet all come out, however if the telcos had not been given immunity it would be easier to do discovery on this. The government working in secret is not a hallmark of a democratic society. It is also interesting that the biggest defenders of this big brother style of government tend to be those who claim a desire for limited government.
Bub? :laugh: Wasn't that William Frawley's character on "My Three Sons"?Revmitchell said:Bub....I repsonded to your partially off topic post. You know the whole beam in the eye thing.
It is a big deal regardless of who authorizes, or when it is done. We have warrants for such things.targus said:A little knowledge goes a long way...
"During the 1990's under President Clinton, the National Security Agency monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries under a super secret program code-named Echelon."

So Clinton starts it... (no big deal, right?)
Bush continues it... (Bush bad)
Obama continues it... (again, no big deal)

And it is true. It didn't say others didn't now, did it?targus said:But your thread title says BUSH spied.
Not Clinton, Bush and Obama.
So when you started the thread were you just Bush bashing or just uninformed?
Magnetic Poles said:And it is true. It didn't say others didn't now, did it?
Okay, let me clarify...first, we have no idea if Eschelon even exists. Secondly Bush has admitted lying about requiring warrants. So at the very least Bush expanded the program beyond Eschelon, which was only international traffic. Now it seems ALL traffic is monitored. Big surprise there.matt wade said:Ok..on page two of the thread you said Bush started it. Is that also true or will you be retracting that statement?

No hole at all...just your spin. We know Bush has admitted to the wiretaps. If Eschelon exists, this is an obvious expansion. If not, he began it with the USA PATRIOT Act. Pretty simple really.targus said:So you have no idea if the program even exists...
but you do know that Bush expanded it.

How deep are you going to dig that hole?
