#1 So does this mean he's moved up or down on the left's scale of evil? I have a bad feeling they consider Nixon worse than Hitler.

#8 Vietnam isn't working anymore, so now they'll try for Watergate. When that doesn't work, maybe they'll try for Abscam.

What?

Oh.

#12 And Congress can pass all the laws it wishes, blustering all the way - as the assclowns tend to do, even over vetos, and they will mean diddley-squat.

#13 First, there was "Bush = Hitler."
Then came "Bush = Nixon."
What's next? "Bush = Barney the Dinosaur?"

#14 ed.

The criticism of Bush on the NSA program is
bi-partisan. members of both parties have called for these Congressional hearings.

I havent personally passed judgement one way or the other. I think it's a interesting Constitutional issue that will probably end up being decided upon in the judiciary.

#19 Face it, CS - your party (which was MY party for 30 years) is stuck with Billy Boy Clinton's legacy. Unless/until you come to grips with it, you will indeed find that your snipes at Bush for security issues hit places you didn't want to hit.

We haven't even gotten into his attempts to put bugging back doors into most computer chips and all RSA encryption keys.
