Re resp:3: What is there to say about a party that spent more time 
listening to sworn testimony about Clinton's Christmas card list than 
about Abu Ghraib?  The simple fact is they will look the other way at 
anything Bush does.  If Clinton had been accused of domestic spying, 
the walls of the Capitol would have been shaken by the sheer force of 
Republican outrage.  In fact, that's exactly what will happen if a 
Democratic President ever tries to use the expanded executive 
privileges Bush and Cheney have been trying to carve out for 
themselves. 
 
 
Re resp:33: I disagree.  I think they're fine with democracy as long as 
God-fearing Christians hold all the levers of power.  If you'll allow 
me a little constructive criticism, richard -- I think you often damage 
your own arguments by overstating them. 
 
 
I noticed today that some right-wing commentators are trying to weasel 
out of this one with semantics.  Now, apparently, what Bush did wasn't 
"wiretapping," it was "data mining."
