I don't like being PC, and I do enjoy your blog.<BR/><BR/>I happen to agree with most of what you argued, and am glad you were in fact able to back the post up. Most people say things like that and can't.... I respect you for actually having a brain.

It's by no means reserved for Bush. <BR/><BR/>Bush et al breaking the law (particularly ethically speaking) is well documented. Many towns/cities have voted to impeach (both Bush and Cheney) citing numerous illegalities. Kucinch has spoken on the floor of the US Senate, citing a laundry list of illegalities. <BR/><BR/>Patrick Henry said: give me liberty or give me death. I don't go to that extreme, but as far as wiretapping, I don't think domestic surveillance on hundreds of millions of innocents has made us safer. It's made us complacent, and most are clearly unaware, or afraid to question the erosion of the constitution.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I don't write this blog to start or engage in arguments (there are plenty of other places for that). I write to make people smile; nothing here is meant to be taken too seriously. Perhaps you missed the disclaimer off to the right?<BR/><BR/>In any event, the case is closed. Thanks for reading, despite our disagreement. And yes, I will be voting in the election. And you should too.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552947066567586855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484297593860671285.post-91894098157844651422008-05-01T16:20:00.000-04:002008-05-01T16:20:00.000-04:00I didn't come here for news, I came here to see wh...I didn't come here for news, I came here to see what your blog was about. And now I see a very bitter individual. <BR/><BR/>Bush did have the wiretapping scandal, and that was wrong, but I'd rather be wiretapped than attacked by terrorists again. He did what he thought was best for the country, and you can't fault him for that. (I don't think it was the best thing to do, but I do think it was justified given the situation - I don't think they were "unreasonable searches or seizures")<BR/><BR/>Just because Bush has driven drunk doesn't make him a total lawless person. LOTS of people do that all the time (again, not something good, but something totally unrelated to his politics) In fact, I bet you drink/drank underage against the law, am I right?<BR/><BR/>Are you going to vote in this presidential election? Because Obama has already violated laws (drugs in college for one), so has Clinton (not releasing her records for so long along with countless other scandals), and McCain is "just another Bush republican" who also tried to violate laws with McCain Feingold. <BR/><BR/>I read, I just read things worth reading.

He's not the authority on laws. That's all I'm saying.<BR/><BR/>Plus, if you came to this blog for news... you're in the wrong place buddy.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552947066567586855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484297593860671285.post-51354584582752629282008-05-01T15:34:00.000-04:002008-05-01T15:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552947066567586855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484297593860671285.post-69531765368297890532008-05-01T15:33:00.000-04:002008-05-01T15:33:00.000-04:00Well, for one: The Fourth Amendment."The right of ...Well, for one: The Fourth Amendment.<BR/><BR/>"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."<BR/><BR/>Heard of FISA?
