What do you think about the presidents plan to listen in on phone conversations.   Please read the following.?

The phone calls being momitored are international calls made to people and places suspected of having terrorist ties.  I don't have a problem with it.  If it could keep the US or any other country, for that matter, from experiencing something like another 9/11, I say go for it.

I've heard the argument that he didn't have enough information to move forward with since even the accusation would ruin Folley's career. He had only been told that Folley was acting in a way that was very concerning, definitely not enough info to accuse ... right ?(*cough looks to left then right*).  My thoughts on the matter is why not simply enact a warrant less domestic wiretapping on him that way no one had to know .... oh wait at the time congress had been bypassed about the whole program in a flagrant abuse of the presidents power. Well I'm sure some type of low profile investigation could have been possible.

I agree with the above,  The plan they keep talking about having.  It sure sounds great that you "have a plan" but someday I sure would like to hear what that plan is.  Unlike Jack Murtha today saying"we just need to figure out what to do about all this"  "all this" must not be what the plan was about.  I wouldnt know though I havent heard "that plan yet"

The president said: "Hi people".\nThe president is the primary information source.\nThe next day you can read in the newspaper what the president said.\nThe newspaper is the secundary information source.\nYou read the newspapare and you tell it to your friends.\nYou are the terciary information source.

My dad's is pretty amusing... He doesn't really know how to use it... so you hear his wife in the background telling him what to do and say... runs out of tape in the middle of it.\n\nYou should hear his phone conversations... they are usually the same way... he calls you on his cell phone w/out knowing so... so you listen to him have a conversation with whoever he is with.

We are very much on the defensive militarily and they are trying to find a weak spot, possibly working with one of our residents but even communication is being highly monitered.  It's funny.  I could probably get on the phone with one of my friends and talk about how people want to "kill George Bush" and all of us that are talking about it and saying anything with "kill" and "president" in it on the phone or in emails have to be examined too.  I wonder how effective it is and how much time all our phone calls and emails take up and how much money it costs to pay this scret service department to do all this moniterring.  There could be a guy talking about the "assassination of President" Kennedy and his phone call or email would be monitered too.\n\nWhen you think about it, the one set of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 are still continuing to hurt us in many ways and one of them is financially  because of all the security operations that have been set up to find insergents and much of it being wasted on suspected people's phone calls, emails  and detaining suspected people at air ports who are in some way supicious but actually are innocent.  Many people I know are now out of a job and many of them are now trying to maintain their poorly running cars that they cannot afford to take to the shop or are trying desperately to figure out how they can get a cheap or free car in order to get around.  And the insugents know all of this and are probably sitting back and laughing.\n\nIt seems they don't need to do any more damage.  We are still suffering from 2001 and the problems we are creating ourselves.

Wire tapping the telephones of American citizens without a court order is illegal.\nThey impeached Clinton for a minor dalliance in which he didn't even get to third base. But taking the Constitution and pushing it through the shredder, why that is just fine and dandy.\nHe really does believe that it is only a piece of paper, and he is the Prince of the Realm who may do as he pleases, isn't he? \nThe answer to Ben Franklin's comment about what sort of government the constitution enshrined--"A republic, if you can keep it"-- has been answered. We've lost it, folks. We've got George III in the White House. And, it is now often forgotten, that George was looney as the day is long, too.

Sure...\n\n..what plan?

yes,\n i aound it very neurve racking when it as announced.\n it wasn't a surprize though.\n  our house had suspected this for quite a while, which is why we have invested in a cell phone company to the tune of a $ 170.00 billing contracted for one year,\n\nthis will show you how serious some people are.\n   the fact is, \n      it had come down our ranks ( those who had try to help senater kerry to gain ofice) that this was in the planning as early as the year 2003, that full operations would be expected.\n   scince then ,descrete off the record suggestions have not only supported the media's desclosures, but have added new ideas, which, if taken to heart. only curtails the use of personal liberties further.( this is by choice.)\n    not to get in trouble and what to avoid is become one of the mainstays of our life.\n    it not only phone , but also internet comunications which are now being monitored.\n     as to what extent for the latter, i really don't know.\n      after an extent of time on a cellphone that too can be "tapped", or 'spied" if responding to a number with landline connections.\n      after having ips services disrupted for no reason, the to reappear after. \n ( mostly happened during times of news worthy items breaking.)\n       at one point having cell phones blocked.( yep, bill was paid up in full)\n    DO I CARE?\n      i've no intrests in being a political activest. \ni understand that questions posted by my self might have sounded so, but it isn't.\n    DO I HAVE A REASON TO BE WORRIED OR CARE ABOUT THIS LATEST DISCLOSURE?\n       ask the millions of new cell phone users enrolled this year alone.\n     YES! HECK I CARE !!!!\n     IT'S A REAL PIAN, TO SEE NORMAL PEOPLE GO TO EXTREMES, NOT TO BE ABLE TO COMMIT A CRIME, BUT TO HOLD A CONVERSTION\nIN PRIVATE ABOUT THE KIDS.\n     \n\nyes i care,\n \nsorry for shouting.\n\n\n\n(spell check domown again)

Folks today use the term "like", -even for the office of the President, like it's even relevant. \n\nYou could ask the question...\nDo you concur with the president's foreign policy?\nDo you agree with the top 3 agenda issue of the president?\n\nAt least then you getting close to being able to talk inteligently about the office and whomever the current president is. President is a job and that job is tempo, agendas, and basically a cheerleader and visionary for the USA.\n\nAnd besides, the less these politicians 'do' the better, -esp. the Legislature. As Ronald Reagan said, - "The scariest phrase to hear is a knock at the door and the person saying, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'".

Posted by The Watchdog - April 6th, 2006 \nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com \n\nDear President Bush: \n\nI’m about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like\n to ask you to assist me. I’m going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico,\n and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.\n I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. \n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I’m on my way over?\n Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,\n       whether I use them or not.\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their\n       school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government\n      services.\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won’t make any effort to learn local\n      traffic laws.\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to\n      leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a\n     gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments\n     from the locals.\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any\n      labor laws or tax laws.\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical\n      word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. \n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people\n who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won’t mind returning the\n favor if you ask him nicely. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, \n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\n\nPosted in Border crossing, Pro-Illegal Groups, Mexico

This executive branch is focused on governing the world. I don't think they are in touch with the people in this country at all. It is the shame of america that we give them a second term.

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.
