Re: liberal distortion as usual
Sorry but I am a conservative Republican and I say warrantless searches are an abomination. The current Republican Party is not Conservative but Reactionary approaching fascist.
And I'm a wild-eyed pistol wavin' anarcho-libertarian tie-dyed Leary-lovin' veteran, and I say, "They're there, dude."
This administration has had the authority to start warrantless wiretaps from the day it took office. That power already existed in law; that law also required them to then apply for a warrant from a secret court that invariably authorized continued tapping.
They ignored that law because Bush & Co. seek to reestablish an imperial presidency. Cheney, especially, is obsessed with reversing the safeguards put in place after Watergate.
Bottom line: Bush wants power without accountability. He and his team have rubbed mud, shit, and blood all over the honor of our Republic, and it will take decades to remove it. Their hands stink of torture. They are despicable caricatures of their fathers.
Don't forget to vote.

Re: Calling all Republicans to explain what's going on.

It isn’t consistent with traditional republican (i.e. conservative) principles. You see, Bush and the Republican party do have some liberal principles.
You sure you aren't Karl Rove?
Won't be so funny when your number comes up, though.

Re: wrapping it up
They used to say a liberal is a conservative who has yet to be mugged. I guesss a conservative is a liberal who has yet to be denied his rights.
Fill in the blanks:
When they came for the _______, I didn't say anything. When they came for the _________, I didn't say anything. When they came for me, there was no one left to say anything.
As a practical matter, your freedoms are intertwined with every other person's freedoms. Ask not for whom the chains clank...

OK, so I'll need all of your numbers, now.
E-mail accounts and passwords would be helpful, too.
