Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Bush says Congress putting US in danger
Bush says Congress putting US in danger
2/15/08
Quote:
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday that "our country is in more danger of an attack" because of Congress' failure to extend a law granting the government authority to spy on foreign phone calls and e-mails that pass through the United States.

The president and Vice President Dick Cheney met with Republican congressional leaders in the Oval Office to discuss the impasse with the Democratic-led House. The president said lawmakers had left for a 12-day recess without acting on the law, which expires at midnight Saturday. He said Congress should act quickly on the measure as soon as lawmakers return.
Bush's argues that without the extension, the intelligence community will not have the tools they need. Democrats, equally adamant, accuse the president of fear-mongering and say he has the authority he needs to intercept terrorist communications, even if the law expires.

"American citizens must understand, clearly understand that there's still a threat on the homeland. There's still an enemy which would like to do us harm," Bush said. "We've got to give our professionals the tools they need, to be able to figure out what the enemy is up to so we can stop it."
"By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack," the president said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi maintains the congressional majority is simply trying to balance concerns about civil liberties against the government's spy powers, and needs time to do it.
Republicans insist there's no time to waste. "The Democratic leaders ought to be held accountable for their inaction," House Republican leader John Boehner told reporters after the White House meeting.

I don't worry about the government "spying" on me. What do I have to hide? when I was in the Army all of us knew that some CID agent was listening in to our conversations, especially in Germany, mainly for all of the drug deals going on back in the 80's. They can do whatever they want and it isn't just the Republican party that authorized this "spying" on us. Come on the Dems are just as guilty too.

Just Like Kerry: I voted before the war before I voted against it.


Come on, we're not that complacent.

What they all seem to forget is that the original FISA Bill was signed into Law by the Darling of the Southern Peanut Farming Ex-President Association; Jimma Ca-tuh.

Just what the Stasi, Gestapo, and KGB used to say.

Why would the Stasi, Gestapo or KGB have said that? They were the ones doing the spying.

Your comment makes no sense. As usual.
