29% and falling

More importantly midterm elections are Nov 2006.

I believe that the US crippled Iraq with sanctions and that peior to 9-11, Colin Powell and Condi Rice were saying that Saddam was "boxed" in and that Iraq posed no danger.

Do you actually believe that there's an Al-Qaeda? Did you know that Al-Qaeda is a CIA created term? Terrorists don't belong to some large James Bond style underworld organization, Champie - Bush's war in Iraq has solidified it and caused it to grow --but they are not the well organized uber gruppe that Bush and his parade of loonie bin neocons make them out as.

No. I believe they started in earnest against the Bush administration because of his ties to the Saudi Royal Family.

and that poll was taken before we found out about data mining every US citizens phone records. One can only imagine what his poll numbers really are --I'm guessing more like 19%.

No and no. What bugs me about the president right now is that he's so completely TRANSPARENT!! Does he think the american people are truly stupid enough to not tell what's going on? Its an insult to everyone's intelligence!

What, you mean fewer than one in four eligible Americans might vote? Unimaginable!



Never underestimate the power of apathy, or laziness. Lots of, maybe most people, like to be told what to think... they find a religion, party, ideology, or cartoon that seems to fit their particular set of headsnakes, and then let someone else do the driving. This is why the human race is ultimately doomed. Glad I'm not one.

Gonna go cry to a res mod now? Aww poor baby. You'd just like to stifle every bit of free speech because it doesn't fit your own view. You're just a purely whiney Rep like the rest of them.

When WW3 breaks out because of this President's mind bogling stupidity we'll have people like you to blame for blindly following an idiot.

Go call for a res mod now boy.

A-men.

Can YOU describe in a few sentences how the NSA program is legal?

Because its the NSA!. They are above the law, beyond it. They are the men in black!

Live in luxury and impunity for the rest of his life in the company of his peers.

"So what?"

A leader in a democratic system may only lead with the approval of the population. If the population does not approve of a leader, they should not remain leader.

Musuko.

Why would I cry to a resmod? I've never solicited the help of a resmod or a linden in the forum onr in the game-world.

last I checked, I have no authority to STIFLE anyone or anything. How could I possibly keep you from saying whatever you want?

The only dsensible reason for someone to write DICTATOR
in an otherwise reasonable thread, is to be antagonistic (and I refer to that as jackassery).

If WWIII happens you can blame people like me if you want. I'm not sure that will get you the food and shelter you'll need in that event.

Best of luck with your victim mentality.

from the USAToday:

"The U.S. Supreme Court has drawn a legal line between collecting phone numbers and routing information, and obtaining the content of phone calls. In a ruling in 1979, the court said in Smith v. Maryland that a phone company's installation, at police request, of a device to record numbers dialed at a home did not violate the Fourth Amendment."

As for the rest of the article, there is still debate about what the FISA Act allows and under what circumstances. I've heard some say that FISA is being violated and I've others say that the NSA is in compliance with the FISA Act.

That's why I ask the question..

Please explain how YOU know the NSA program is ILLEGAL, because many experts are still debating the issue. Please offer me the best information you have.

*comes up for air*
remember to keep things civil & with in forum guidelines.


*disapeers back beneath the waves*

Fortunately, Congress doesn't normally base major decisions (like on whether or not to start impeachment procedures) on just polls, especially ones where the bias of the questions isn't readily known.

If you think I have violated your sacred right to forum niceties then please report me to the RESMODS.

what does that have to do with illegal wiretaps made without FISA warrants?

Not sure what you mean by bias, the approval ratings are based on a single question: "Do you approve of G.W. Bush's handling of affairs?" Seems pretty neutral to me. Same approval rating stuff that we've been doing for years.

On that note, i think Mr. Bush also has the lowest approval rating that we've ever seen a president sink to. Don't quote me on that one though.

name these experts or provide links. The consensus is that your President is a criminal acting with no constitutional authority.

Nixon and Bush Sr. had lower --but not for nearly as long a duration. Bush Jr. is within one point of having the lowest.

Clinton's approval rating while he was being impeached was 65%.

It has nothing to do with FISA, it has to do with your claim that the Fourth Amendment protects you from the NSA program of retrieving phone records

Refer to the article in the USAToday that I linked.

Your claim of FACT is actually the debate that is being waged. Your claim of ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that there is no constitutional authority iis interesting. Please tell us how you know this yet Lawyers, Intelligence experts, politicians, journalists, and people all over the world continue to debate the legalities of the issue.

IF YOU KNOW, TELLS US IN AS MUCH DETAIL PLEASE.

Heres what would be neat, is if, as a citizen, you could start a class action lawsuit against the prsident. There would be a trial, etc. If he fails to defend his presidency, and a majority of people obviously hate him, then he is impeached solely for that reason.

I've probably just opened up a huge can of worms here, but worms can be fun sometimes.

Champie, will you please tell us why you think it is ok for the President to disobey laws that he signs?
