Hear that sound? That's the sound of your Constitutional liberties being sucked into oblivion, one by one. Nearly all of the first 10 Amendments have been eviscerated - all that's left is the 2nd Amendment, and that's coming up before the Supreme Court in April '08.

Wake up, America.

With Commissar Hillary in charge you can pretty much guarantee the prison population will grow 10-fold.

That is the price you have to pay to be successful in "War Against Teorror".

After all how do you locate "Terrorists" until you evesdrop on them?

That was the main reason why 9/11 could be done. If they were tapping all calls before 9/11, the plot could have been known much in advance (they would not have done anything, that is another matter).

In the beginning they will monitor only the Muslims or those lokking like Muslims. Then slowly the circle will get bigger.

Why should you worry now, It is only to save you from Islamic Terrorists. In fact you should be happy. At least now you could sleep in peace. Somebody is recording all those abnoxious calls!!

Here we go again, liberals.

You libs keep bitchin' about losing your rights (which I don't believe), but your leadership keeps voting for the laws.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

My party is in the minority, yet we still keep kicking your butt.

Ha, ha, ha, ha,- Nancy and Harry are a joke.

despite the public rhetoric and political sound bites, the dem. leaders in Congress realize that there is still a terrorist threat facing this nation. they know what needs to be done regardless of their public statements to the contrary. they do not want to be ina position to be blamed when another terrorist attack kills innocent American civilians and it will happen again.
thy are just facing reality, which many so called liberals refuse to face. they are covering their own you know what. they are not stupid people although they act that way sometimes.

This country is spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq -- thousands of our young men and women are being maimed and killed -- in order to bring democracy to the Middle East, all the while democracy is being taken away from us, the citizens of the United States.???

We are living to see the fall of the US...

Sounds like tactics of the Soviet KGB to me; But why be surprised? This is George Bush's and the Republicans, 21st century vision for America.

Clinton didn't vote on this issue. Not that I think that she will make a good president, I don't ! I'm not sure but I think Obama, vote no and McMain voted, Yes. If you know different please let me know.

the bill passed by these democrats who told us the congress was not listening to us , well guess again, they want to hear every word ,and just like the republican minority that still runs the senate they will go along with any fool idea that makes them look tough on terror, when the real terror is an oppressed people forced to fight in a land we have no interest in , its exxon mobile and the bush mob that has the interest, and our end the war dumbocrats will lick anyones bottom , as our ancestors used to say speak with a forked tounge!!!!
