Gravitymaster 0 #376 May 18, 2006 QuoteQuoteSorry you are worn down. All my posts were on topic, which you and others couldn't refute so you attempted to morph it into something we weren't discussing. On topic, CNN and USA Today appear to have some credibility problems with their story and it would serve you well to keep this in mind next time you read something in those publications. The story stinks. - What was off topic? You posted a law that the Bushies are supposed to abide by and you stated that it was pretty obvious that they were adhering to that law. I countered with that time honored tool of the liberal devil, the question. And by asking the simple questions like "did they actually fully brief the committees that were listed in the law" the answer turned out to be a resounding NO, as evidenced by Bush's promise yesterday to finally comply. Sorry if you feel that sinking your legal compliance assertion is off topic. If CNN and USA today is the topic then maybe we should change the name of this thread. The topic had to do with recent disclosures that the govt. had requested phone records from Verizon, AT&T and Bellsouth. In case you forgot, here is the first post http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2222119#2222119 You and Billvon tried to hijack the thread and make it about a wiretapping story from last December and somehow you became confused about the topic. But, never mind, I'm bored and I find it difficult to carry on an off-topic discussion. If you want to discuss that story, start another thread. Don't be surprised if it comes out this was a "sting" set up by the NSA/CIA/FBI to find out the source of a leak. It has all the ingredients of one. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is much better when politcians ruin civil servants careers by "leaking" recently, secretly declassified information.... Doesn't it suck when people use the same tactics against you?

idrankwhat 0 #381 May 18, 2006 Quote now remember they are encouraging the use of a persons phone rcords to somehow destroy their lives and or careers. An invasion of privacy not by a government trying to protect us, but by individuals for political reason. "Joe Wilson's wife" comes to mind. Quote Anyone here ever hear of a crossdresser by the name of J. Edgar Hoover? this is the kind of shit he was known forusing the power of office for personal vendettas Sounds like Dick Cheney without the wardrobe.

If you want to discuss that story, start another thread. - So illegal NSA spying/record collecting, which you vigorously and very specifically defended in THIS thread is off topic (and boring) and the discussion is limited to the newspaper articles themselves? Wow. That's pretty narrow. It fooled a lot of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,114 #383 May 18, 2006 >Nope, not nuff said. 40% and rising. Update on Rasmussen: May 11 40% May 14 39% May 17 38% May 18 36% Can he make it into the 20's? It will take a lot of determination and hard work, but so far he has shown he is up to the task. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill and I have a little wager on the next Harris poll. I checked their site and it appears it is only done every 30 days so we'll have to wait until June 15 iirc. I should have picked a pollster who does one every week or so and I'd been drinking my beer by now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
