WILL YOU PLEASE STOP with this "pity the poor" crap! I come from a family of 9 who lived on $80. a week when I was growing up. I went to school and studied hard instead of whining about how bad my life was. many a day I went without food as there was none to be had and most of my food was in the form of free lunches at school. I went to College on my own dime and when the money ran out i went into the Military to pay for my college.
When I got out I worked two minimum wage jobs for over 3 years till I landed a job at Chrysler and worked there for over 20 years. I now owm my home and am buying more property. I have a nice six figure retirement 401K account that I had them invest 10% of my paychek in each week. I paid cash for a brand new car and will be doing the same in purchasing a new truck in 2 years because it will have something i want and it wont be available till then. I have GIVEN away three cars to family and friends as well as loaned out over 15,000. to family and friends with no hope of ever seeing it again. I have given over $50,000. to charity and soup kitchens and this is not counting all the free work I have done for them as well. My estate will be worth well over 1.5 MILLION when I die according to the Tax Attorneys and my accountants and I own well over 100,000 shares of stock.
Am I bragging? NO! I am showing you what a little hard work and common sense can and will do if you apply yourself. Most of the people you call "poor" would be considered extremely wealthy in most places of the world where people walk because they have no car. People go to bed at dusk because they have no electric. People live in grass and mud houses because they have no homes. People starve because they have no food stamps or money to buy food with. people die from the heat because they have no AC to cool themselves with. People have no TV's or radios to entertain themselves. people die because they have no medical care. I could go on but you get the picture I hope as even the "poor" in the US have ALL this available to them and more.
I worked my way out of poverty and now sit at home retired from work WELL before my 65th birthday (about 19 years before same) and make over $52,000.00 a year from the intrest off my investments and my retirement from Chrysler.
Again I am not bragging but trying to show you that if I can do it, ANYONE can do it. So please cease with this "pity the poor" crap as I am not buying it and neither should you.
You sir, are an IDIOT. Nothing Bush has done has risen to the level that the US Constitution calls for, for an impeachment.
Not to mention that you are totally clueless about this wiretapping.

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?c ourt=US&vol=407&invol=297 thus finding that the domestic spying against agent or foreign powers operating in the US was INDEED CONSTITUTIONAL!!!
So do yourself a major favor and shut up as you are showing your ignorance more by yourself then anything anyone could ever post to prove same.
Now go eat your cookies and drink your milk as it is time for you to have your nappy changed and to take a nap.
I am amazed at the complete and total ignorance of people here who are replying and whining and complaining that this wiretapping is illegal and unconstitutional. You people need to get a life and actually read before openning your keyboards on items that you obviously know nothing about.
The US Supreme Court gave the Preisdent the right to do this back in the early 1970's under the "Instant" case and not only said that this was legal...but it was in the US Constitutional Presidential Powers to do so and as such NO ONE, not the courts nor the Congress; has the ability to deny the President the power to do this without a Constitutional Amendment, and the chances of you even getting one is less then 0.0000000002% as over 15,000 amendments have come up in over 220 years and less then 30 have been actually voted into law...and one of these was recinded!
So read it and weep lefties, as if you have nothing to hide; then what is the fuss about? And if you are not talking to a known terrorist member or group, then you have nothing to worry about. And if you are, then you should be tried under the fullest extent of the law.

So please take you whining and complaining somewhere else as you have just had your rear handed to you on a silver platter.
Then you are foolish as well as ignorant
Im sorry for laughing, but poeple who conctantly toss out names of court cases with no links to back them up are usually the ones that are making stuff up to help prove their points.
If you would have done a nexus search, you would have found this little tidbit from a 1972 9-0 decision by none other then the US Supreme Court that not only said the president does have inherent constitutional authority to spy on Americans working for or foreign agents or Americans in contact with foreign powers that we are in conflict with, but that the President would be derelict in his powers of office and Constitutional authority and requirement to keep this country safe, if he did NOT do so.
The US Supreme Court in the "Instant" decision in 1972, clearly gave the President the authority for the wiretaps! I quote "The Instant case requires no judgement on the scope of the Presidents surveillance power with respect to the activities of foreign agent(s) or foreign power(s) that are operating within or without of this country."

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?c ourt=US&vol=407&invol=297
thus SCOTUS gave a finding that the domestic spying against an agent or foreign powers or someone speaking to same while operating in the US while in a time of national Emergency or war was INDEED CONSTITUTIONAL.
As it stands, You would have to get over 2/3rds of the full US Congress to overturn this decision, and that you are not going to get. So for you or anyone else to say that this is illegal and Unconstitutional is irrational and not based on anything valid or the letter of the law. Now since I found this with a simple nexus search, care to explain why this constantly slips the notice of people complaining about this when they can find this fact in less time then they took to write their complaint letters or post here??
