OK. Who here believes the idiot-in-chief bypassed FISA so he could spy on

[in_cog_ni_to]

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS for blackmail purposes? It's like a lightbulb went off. Tom Daschle received an anthrax letter. Pat Leahy received an anthrax letter. The HAZMAT crews went into their offices to clean up the anthrax and I'm sure NSA and CIA made their way through the Senate offices. I think they planted bugs and tapped phones. I also believe the anthrax letters came with another warning....."we have info on YOU, your wife and we know which school little Johnny and Sally attend. Straighten up and fly right OR ELSE."

ALSO, don't you think that the NYT holding the wiretap story for a year, AT THE REQUEST OF THE ADMINISTRATION, they just gave the SOBs all the time in the world to pull their taps and bugs from offices, homes and cars? We will probably never know the truth unless papers are released or someone who did the dirty deeds comes forward.

Don't you find it enlightening? NOW I see why the Democrats in Congress have kissed this administration's ass for the last 5 years. THEY WERE BEING BLACKMAILED. I know it.

[elehhhhna]

1. I believe you're right. Imagine what they must have on Zell Miller &

Joementum...

I want to know who is behind overthrowing this Democracy. NOW.

[EST]

2. Comes the dawn - especially since the antrrax was tracked back

to our own military stocks and they "failed" to find the cat that turned the wheels. Damn cussed fascists!

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Never finding the person who sent the anthrax letters

is VERY TELLING to me. They know who did it....that's why WE don't know. THEY DID IT.

[unblock]

3. don't be ridiculous. they were NOT being blackmailed

they were being EXTORTED.

:evilgrin:

[BonnieJW]

4. I have thought of that too

If Congress doesn't think they've been wiretapped, they're truly stupid. He couldn't use FISA because when you're listening to EVERYone, you don't have the time to ask for permission, nor would that permission be granted. I think they wiretapped various dem campaign headquarters, protesters, everyone who ever signed a condemning petition, members of Congress. All of us on DU.

[peacetalksforall]

5. Didn't we hear that the NYT held the info for more than a year - which

brought it back to a pre-election date?

[salinen]

6. Me too

After all, this gang blows hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis away for their oil without a second thought. Wiretapping their political opponents should seam to them almost routine.

[Bob3]

7. Don't doubt it for a second

Along with journalists and any prominent political figure or celebrity that voiced opposition to the Iraqi war and anybody who pissed * for any reason.

[Walt Starr]

8. I'm thoroughly convinced he has the goods on Lieberman

I don't see how that man is not being blackmailed by the administration.

[salinen]

10. Lieberman

Yeah, they have a conversation he had with his Rabbi that he ate pork.

[benburch]

9. I'm almost certain of it.

Blackmail is a KKKarl Rove signature.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. Have you watched "Bush's Brain?" There was a scene in that documentary

where KKKRove BUGGED HIS OWN OFFICE and blamed it on the opponent his guy (not the idiot, I don't think) was running against. This is CLASSIC KKKRove.

[benburch]

17. I sure have.

I want to see KKKarl swinging from a Federal rope for this. He needs to be arrested, tried, and convicted for TREASON.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

12. Not only do I believe that

I also believe They were in cahoots with the Anthrax deal AND, I now believe they are in league with Bin Laden which is why they will never "catch" him. I also believe that there is a high probility of another staged terrorist attack sometime before the midterms. These people are just as capable of evil as Hitler and Stalin.

[stepnw1f]

13. You Said It...

I am believing the same.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. I agree! They really are praying the Patriot Act

isn't renewed. That's their next move. Let the PA expire, plan another terrorist attack right before the midterms election and blame the DEMOCRATS for letting it expire. Rally the sheeple again.

[BonnieJW]

19. Yep, that's the plan

But I notice that people don't seem to be affected when anything happens anymore. They assume that if something bad happens, it's the government behind it. If an al Jazeera tape surfaces with any kind of threat, people don't even react. I think everyone knows those tapes are neocon productions. The concern is that because everyone is used to this, they might try something a little more persuasive. A bomb, a fire, a shooting. When that happens,if the government blames terrorists, we must raise the suspicion that it's the government terrorizing its citizens.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. I suspect it's going to be a dirty bomb. The missing Uranium story

was in the news the other day...again, for some reason. OLD NEWS, yet it was a news report. I found that curious. I suspect they're throwing that out there to set up a dirty bomb attack after the PA expires. Just a guess.

[Parche]

30. report

I also noticed the plastic bomb theft in I think it was New Mexico..........

they are planning something

[yknot]

15. Um... Everyone?

Don't know if that was their sole intent, but it sure would be a keen fringe benefit.

[fooj]

18. I believe it 100%!!!

I always considered BLACKMAIL a viable possibility...but now it seems that we know for certain, doesn't it?

Peace.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. It most certainly does.

I always thought the administration was involved in the anthrax letters, but now I'm POSITIVE. Daschle and Leahy could have DIED! :scared: These people have to be removed from power. It's a must.

[helderheid]

20. ME OH MY THAT makes sense!! WOW!! Of course...

:) :yourock:

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. It explains the Dems behavior, IMCPO.

This administration must have DIRT on everyone in Congress.

[TheFarseer]

24. oh yeah

The only good reason to bypass the FISA court is to spy on people that you shouldn’t be spying on – Democrats in Congress, the UN security council, Hans Blix, Joe Wilson. Otherwise, what’s the big damn deal about getting a warrant? They never can explain what the big damn deal about the warrant is except to spout non-sense that has been disproved over and over again.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. It was too much paper work.

:sarcasm: That's the piss poor excuse I heard.:eyes:

[Kansas Wyatt]

26. That pesky paperwork also...

Keeps all the facts in order, so countries are not wrongfully invaded, also.

But hey, it's Shrubby & the NumbNutz Deluxe Crew spewing excuses that high schoolers don't get by with, so all is well in the Culture of Republican Corruption.

[TheFarseer]

29. working at the job I have, I have NO sympathy for that

However, they probably are pressed for time over there. Bush probably has them doing GOP fund-raising on their lunch breaks and faxing out talking points with any other free time.

[Rex]

27. They tried to kill the Dem leaders in Congress with anthrax.

What is blackmail compared to anthrax attacks? I'm sure it is far worse than just blackmail.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. I'm sure. The anthrax didn't kill them though.

That's when the blackmail started. They were probably told WHO sent the anthrax and then told they had better toe the line or else. Little did they know they were being wiretapped and bugged too.

[TankLV]

31. The is the FIRST and ONLY thought that came to mind!

Of that I have no DOUBT.

Question is, how come the media whores aren't asking that question?

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. GOOD QUESTION! I think that would take Daschle and Leahy coming forward

with the TRUTH. They may do that ONLY if KKKRove is indicted and they KNOW, for a fact, this regime is going DOWN in flames. Otherwise, they could be killed. :scared:
