Hillary for President
I think now would be a good time for the first female president. Bill was 10 times the president than the moron we have now. I assume Hillary had some influence over Bill when he was president. It seems reasonable that she would pattern her presidency after his. Bill's scandals were not even in the same ballpark as Bush's. What is so wrong with Hillary? The thing I hear most is that she is a lesbian. Big deal. I think it's going to take an extreme liberal like her to undo some of the damage George has done. So let's hear it. What are your gripes with Hillary?

You still have a job and probably some sort of savings with the current blockhead in the White House. Not so with Mrs. Clinton and politicians of her ilk.

From time to time I hear about Bush's assault on civil rights, so I'm curious about the details of how that is affecting the day to day lives of Americans. Has the place suddenly turned into a police state? Which rights has Bush the Fascist turned back? Are we talking about the NSA's practice of listening in on calls from suspect overseas phone numbers? Or is there something more sinister going on?

The civil rights I am talking about are mostly privacy issues. Please don't tell me you are one of those "If you're not doing anything wrong, what does it matter?" people. One example is the Patriot Act. The government can look at your library records, internet searches, banking records, travel, credit card transactions. If they "think" you are a terrorist, they may be able to listen in on your conversations with your lawyer. They can also hold you without charging you or letting you speak to a lawyer. Protesting rights have also been reduced. Domestic wiretapping is another issue that causes me great concern. |

2. What protesting rights have been reduced? 3. When you say domestic wire tapping, are you talking about the tapping of calls where one of the parties to the call is a known terrorist or something else?

The protesting rights- I'm most concerned about being told when and where we can protest. Also, permits are required in some areas. The wiretapping I am talking about is where one of the parties in not a known terrorist. The ones done without a judge's order. I don't think you can trust government agencies and law enforcement to decide when a wire tap is necessary. I think the government needs to be on an extremely short leash on all privacy issues. In my opinion, the government rarely works in our best interest. It's sole purpose seems to be to grab more power and control. |
