McCain Supports Warrantless Domestic Surveillance
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "While there have been shifting reports about McCain's view on warrantless wiretapping, nothing could be clearer than the latest comment by McCain adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin, who said, 'We do not know what lies ahead in our nation's fight against radical Islamic extremists, but John McCain will do everything he can to protect Americans from such threats, including asking the telecoms for appropriate assistance to collect intelligence against foreign threats to the United States as authorized by Article II of the Constitution.' Article II, of course, is what Bush has argued gives the President virtually unlimited power during war, and McCain has already voted in favor of Telecom Immunity, though he sometimes mentions, to those asking for accountability, wanting to hold hearings about what the telecoms did."

Blow my dick, theotard. The truth is evident, whether your limited mind can handle it or not.

Then going down a dark alley on saturday night in a bad part of town.
It has been statistically shown that helmets increase the risk of head injury.
Should read "McCain adviser supports asking telecoms for assistance"
But, then that wouldn't be the sensationalist, muck-raking, lie of a headline the submitter wanted.
What is it like being a lying propagandist, "I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property"?
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
You may have it backwards...
How about we not let everyone else piss us off? How about we just shrug and move on when someone doesn't run their country/religion the way we like it? See, it isn't as much about us pissing people off, as it is about us getting all worked up and then over-extending. When we over-extend, we deny rights to others, we barge into affairs that are not really any of our business, and we make asses of ourselves.
So yes, let's quit pissing everyone off, but first, let's quit getting pissed when someone does things a little different.
I finally updated my sig, but now it's lame.
First, the solution doesn't enrich anyone in power.
Please try to think things through.
Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!
No, it's perfectly fine.
This is just one of those areas where Nixon's image of the
"elitist liberal" is very much on target.
The problem with "gun control" is one of trust. Either a citizen
is trustworthy enough to handle the both the ballot box and ammo
box or they can't be trusted with either.
Many liberals just don't have the guts to admit that they would
rather depive some hick farmer of the ability to get Bush
re-elected than take his guns away. Since they can neither admit
to, or actually achieve, the former they will settle for the
latter.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
Hey fuckface, I notice you don't bring your specious argument to where I actually slammed you with the fact that the Constitution requires the president to faithfully execute Congress' laws. Now you're backpedaling by saying the president can betray that obligation, and face impeachment or judicial penalty.
What an asshole you are. You might as well say the president is free to violate the law of gravity, then, when someone reminds you that you're a stupid cunt, you'll barf up "but then gravity can pull them down" or some other bullshit.
Just shut the fuck up already. You're making the adults regret we let you in here with us. This is serious stuff, and you're a jackass.
