What evidence do we have that the current admistration has not used wiretapping to win in the last  elections?

Gawddd. . keep drinking the liberal Kool-Aid.\n\nLogically (but who would expect you to understand logic) it's virtually impossible to prove a negative so you wouldn't ever have 'evidence' that something was not used;  however, just from the fact that you have no evidence it was used would seem to be proof enough. . .if it was, there would have been a leak by now.\n\np.s.  Exactly how would wiretapping enable someone to win an election?

I believe that the gubment monitors every aspect of telecommunications. Bush is the crookedest mofo to have squatted in the whitehouse in years. He has allowed spying in the USA under the guise that he is trying to foil terrorism. His dad used to be the deputy director of the CIA. So he has and will to continue to do whatever he and his vp deputy dog want to do.

Bush isn't spying in on your calls, the CIA has reviewed phone records and call patterns- not listening in on actual calls.\nIf we can prevent another 9-11 incident by watching call patterns wouldn't you expect it?\n\nPLEASE EVERYONE- READ THIS: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/12/19/114807.shtml

No. Sounds comicly but if it is good - no trace. Just recall president Nixon's Watergate affair. It leaked out to publick after a very, very small possibility appeared.\n\nIf this leak failed, we'd never know of it. \n\nYour question in another way:\n\nHow much of the (high) politics remains "behind the curtain"?\n\nHow often our lives and wellbeing depends on hose "behind the curtain" facts?\n\nFor example it is very strange that such a higly civilized country like US, at first puts request to Iraq just to let inspector in. After Iraq let hem in to stay and inspect as much as they wished, the same civilizeed country changed it to "We have to attack Iraq because our inspectors failed"\n\nThat's a nonsense of the immense dimesnions. Some reporters did attack it. But with us, common people, majority simply missed to notice\n\ndon, toronto

Firstly, it is not yet safe to declare a victory in both Houses of Congress for the Democratic Party.\n\nSecondly, I do think that will be the reality tomorrow morning.\n\nThirdly, I feel that the best thing about this is that there is tangible proof of a mandate from a majority of Americans that the past few years have been mistake after mistake by the current political leadership.  While my own personally feelings about the matter would lead to making much stronger statements and all executive administrations make some mistakes, we have spent two many years with a leader that is increasingly disconnected from the population.\n\nFourthly, the change of power in political parties will likely give impetus to stronger accountability from the President.  We have just endured 6 years of having obstinate personal agendas being placed ahead of the needs of the population of this country.

Government has been spying since at least 1995 (Clinton's Echelon spied on all electronic -phone/e-mail- traffic).\n\nThe best thing is to keep a record for yourself.

Not lately.  Illegal war in Iraq, illegal spying without warrants, illegally detainment in Guantanemo without due process, lack of separation of church and state, denying rights to gay people.

oh my.  Why is it that we can usually show evidence of democrats cheating in elections (like the dead people voting) but the democrats are the ones who cry foul?

None that has been proven.

I agree completely. Diebold still controls the vote, and they have for at least 6 years, maybe longer. The big dogs wanted the Dem's to win this time. Why?, ...... I don't know.  I'm beginning to think the 2 party system is a big scam to keep us all divided. But I guess it works. These people in here are at each others throats, all the time. So, I guess they win. You don't here about voter fraud lately.

Many clues could aid in the findings of the government. We do not know If they found tapes, plans, intercepted documents, or other media that could have been left or forgotten by *cough*losers*cough* careless terrorist groups.

Yes, and there is proof.\n\nThe Ohio election was rigged:  Voting machines were removed from traditionally democratic area, resulting in lines that were hours long, keeping people from voting.\n\nIf the election in Ohio had been fair, Kerry would have won, and would be President today.

LOL.  Well obviously the answer is 'yes', the 'people have spoken' or so to speak.  We had our chance for our voices to be heard (it's called Election Day, it pre-marked on most calendars), and we failed to do so.  It's sad how politics, especially Bush, have become such a polarizing factor in America, when fewer people voted in the last election preportionately than ever.  You would think with all these strong opinions, people would have been clogging the polls. So, in a nutshell 'let your voice be heard'?  Obviously most people don't care about that any more.

Well HE is not doing it. I have nothing to hide and I think they have been checking phone records for years not to mention other stuff. I think its all political crap.

Drive people to the polls as long as Republicans are not jamming the phone lines!\n\nWhite House pressed on N.H. tactic\nDemocrats seek records, testimony on phone jamming\nBy Rick Klein, Globe Staff  |  April 13, 2006\n\nWASHINGTON -- New Hampshire Democrats are seeking to depose senior White House officials to learn what they knew about a 2002 episode in which a national Republican operative helped organize the jamming of Democrats' phone lines on Election Day, a scheme for which two GOP officials have already been convicted.\n\nSign up for: Globe Headlines e-mail | Breaking News Alerts This week, as a Manchester judge considers a request to compel testimony and records from the White House and the Republican National Committee in a civil suit brought by the Democrats, the nearly four-year-old local political scandal spilled onto the national scene, with the chairmen of the parties trading barbs and accusations.\n\nHoward Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sent a letter on Tuesday to his RNC counterpart, Ken Mehlman, citing the fact that the man convicted of organizing the phone-jamming called the White House political office repeatedly in the days before the election. Dean demanded that Mehlman say whether anyone at the White House or the RNC knew about the plot.\n\nMehlman, who in 2002 headed the White House political office, responded by saying he and his staff knew nothing of the plans. But Democrats fired back yesterday, accusing Mehlman of refusing to reveal the extent of the contact between the White House or RNC and the New Hampshire operatives.\n\n''They're stonewalling because they can't face the truth," said Damien LaVera, a DNC spokesman. ''The law was broken here. We need to know where this goes -- who was involved in this, who authorized it."\n\nAnd watch those paperless voting machines!\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hImlHO4csA\n\n\nNever, Never Vote for a Cheating, liar Republican!\n\nWhere is Osama bin Laden????????????????

Yes, as others said, it takes a court order from a Judge and the legal requirements are very tough.  Patriot Act!  I wish idiots would learn to read something before criticizing.  The Patriot Act has many, many parts.  Wiretapping has been allowed for years - way before the Patriot Act.   Wire taps pertaining to spying and domestic terrorism have been authorized, again for years, when signed a Judge in a Secret Court.  None of this has anything to do with what Bush has been recently accused of or the Patriot Act.  Yes, wiretapping is Constitutional and legal under law.
