It was either Nixon or Clinton that said it before.\n\nOne thing for sure Clinton definetly believed it.\n\nBy the way if anyone is asking whether the spying thing is Legal, it sure is cause it's been used to bust Drug dealers, why can't the same be done to Terrorists?

Bush didn't keep his word is the correct answer to the question.

No, this is what he told a prosecutor, and it was about Bush getting even with somebody that dared to question his authority.

Yes and No.\nAccording to the Bill of Rights specifically Amendment IV yes he is but he can claim executive priveledge which entitles him to do such things for national security. I personally don't like the idea of people, especially the government, listening to my  conversations without my consent but sometimes it has to be done for our protection. So whether or not he is breaking the law is opinion really but he will not be charged with any criminal act.

It means that Saddam Hussein didn't do anything illegal and should not be punished for it because everything he did was legal at the time he commited the acts.

I am the President of the United States.  That statement was stupid on many levels.  It's also like this one.\n\nThe following statement is true\nThe previous statement is false.\n\nI lifted that from George Carlin.

What are you talking about?  Even if he wanted to do something like that (and I don't believe he does) he can't.  No president can do that.\n\nI am not now, nor have I ever been a supporter of President George Bush, but I am continually amazed with the comments about and the allegations about, President Bush.  Maybe it is the influence from such propagandists as Michael Moore, but whatever it is, building on a factual foundation isn't part of it.

Thomas Jefferson said:\n\nTimid men prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty\n\nI would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it\n\nThose who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one

According To President Bush In His Speech\n\n "We are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws."\n\nTHE FACT IS that there is already a federal statutory framework in place which specifically prohibits the hiring of illegal aliens, which provides record keeping rules to verify an employee’s work authorization and identity, and which provides for monetary sanctions (Fines)to be levied against employers who violate the provisions of the law.\n\nTHE FACT IS that big business, which has provided massive financial support to the Bush Administration, and which benefits from hiring illegal aliens and paying them cheap wages while skirting employer tax and record keeping obligations, does not want “employer sanctions” enforced.\n\nTHE FACT IS that the Bush Administration has had the responsibility for “cracking down on employers who hire illegal aliens” and has failed miserably to enforce existing “employer sanction” laws. \nCAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION \nHAS ALLOWED THE NUMBER OF FINES AGAINST EMPLOYERS WHO UNLAWFULLY HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS TO FALL FROM 400 IN 1999 TO ONLY THREE (3) IN 2004?\n\nTHE FACT IS that there are ALREADY laws on the books providing for the deportation of illegal aliens, whether they are simply here illegally, which, of course, is a crime in and of itself, or whether they have committed additional crimes as well.\n\nTHE FACT IS that the Bush Administration has made little or no effort to enforce these laws. Instead, they implemented a “catch and release” policy. \nThis policy allows an apprehended illegal alien to remain free in the United States if that person simply agrees to appear at a court hearing! \nThe results of this policy have been disastrous. \n “Knowing they’re unlikely to be jailed, thousands of immigrants have surrendered to Border Patrol agents, and then have been allowed to continue their journey into America, court summonses in hand,” says T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council.\n There are actually reports of illegal aliens taking taxis from the border to Border Patrol offices to turn themselves in, to be “caught and released” as a way to cross into this country. \nUnder pressure, the Bush Administration has claimed that this policy would be replaced “gradually.” \n\nTHE FACT IS that the Bush Administration’s immigration policies, cannot be taken seriously as an advocate of strict enforcement of immigration laws. \nHe cannot be trusted to support or advance legislative measures to stop the flood of illegal aliens or secure our broken borders.

Could you please provide me with the name of 1 American citizen that "the president" spied on?  The president did NOT snub the law as many of you like to say in this section.

This reminds me of a Bobby Brown quote:\n\n"GEORGE BUSH IS A TERRORIST! (inaudible mumbling and noises follow)"\n\n\nTake it from the a great man like Bobby Brown and people with his mindset to know well.....anything.
