No matter how much they try to spin… er, um, dissemble, no that’s not the word, oh yeah LIE, the American People are dissatisfied with the President and Illegal Wire-tapping.

LiberPaul,
Face it, the public sides with Bush on the taps against terrorists. It’s another big loser for dems.
Oh, and they are libs, Matthews and Russert.

Everyone I asked doesn’t care either. It’s only the media that cares so much. They’re like Hillary,What ever way the wind is blowing at that moment.
Oh yeah, the media isn’t Liberal. Puleeez. If they weren’t liberal they’d be supporting the president,not bashing him on every page and every news station,except Fox. I guess Chris Mathews needs to compete with their ratings.

I am also a memeber of the public and I don’t side with undocumented searches especially when they can appearantly be documented retro-actively via the existing laws on the books with no atempt to revise the law even made.

The media may care, but they haven’t been very straightforward with their coverage. Every account that I have heard or read says that this issue doesn’t have resonance with the public–that people aren’t concerned.
When the polls ask whether it’s ok to wiretap without a warrent ON PEOPLE THE GOVERNMENT IS SUSPICIOUS OF, the numbers lean in the President’s favor.
However, when that last clause is dropped, Americans overwhelmingly object to the government listening in without a warrent (read: in violation of the 4th Amendment).
If Bush talks about this tonight, I think the Dems will be able to turn this into a real issue, like they did with Social Security. The more the public knows about this, the more they’ll object.
Oh, and let’s not forget that regardless of public opinion, it’s illegal.

I wonder how all of those american citizen who are work in international bussiness, particularly those that deal with arab business, businsess that somehow have a connection to terrorrist, feel about there phone conversation being listened on too. The government might accused your american business of having link to terrorrism, because the deals you make with arab business have terrorism connections. If I owned a business and my business had international dealings i would like to know if the government thinks i am a terrorrist, becuase my business deals are done with business that have terrorrist connection. Such as tiffany jewelry, the government says terrorrist used diamonds to fund there operations. I guess that makes American citizens who work at tiffany a potential terrorrist, becuase when tiffany diamond purchase they might be purchasing their diamonds from terrorrist.
