Well HE is not doing it. I have nothing to hide and I think they have been checking phone records for years not to mention other stuff. I think its all political crap.

Dont nothing surprize me anymore the day's after 911 The only plane's that flew was getting all his kin folk's out of the U.S.A since Bush love's them all. Iam sure he's moving them back bye now. I dont think she will be selling very many CD's if Larry King find's out about it, It's very unpatriotic and that's what i think I REMEMBER WHERE I WAS WHEN THE WORLD STOP TURNING. #37 MILLION PEOPLE live in the U.S.A IN POVERTY give them a chance

I support the warrantless spying because it is legal. According to US Code, Title 50, Section 1802:\n\n"Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year..."\n\nI do not support Bush as President, but I do support the FACTS. If you have FACTS that what he is doing is illegal, by all means, post them here for everyone to see.

I want George Bush's head on a stake....lol no seriously...I think it's president@whitehouse.gov\n\nAt least that's what it used to be. This president chose to make it very hard for the public to get emails to him at the White House. Maybe that's because he doesn't want to hear from nearly 70% of Americans who disapprove of his job performance.

The phone calls being momitored are international calls made to people and places suspected of having terrorist ties.  I don't have a problem with it.  If it could keep the US or any other country, for that matter, from experiencing something like another 9/11, I say go for it.

Bush admitted that he lied about spying on Americans. Bush said that the NSA has been keeping track of all cell phone calls since he put Porter in charge. Now he has fired Porter Goss, and put the military in charge. Right of Hitler's Gestapo play books. SS monitoring of the populations phone conversations. That means everybody, and this is worse than Watergate. They have absolutely every record, that's what they said on the news. Fascist Dictator is what I say. Bush needs impeached for being insane.

I do not complain about President Bush.  I know tons of people that do, but, I feel the guy is doing the best he can.  We re-elected him to finish a job and that we must do!  We look bad when be bad mouth our own.  Yeah, I mean freedom of speech is OK and all, but we as Americans just go for the throat most of the time.  \n\nGreetings from Beautiful New York City, USA!!!

Do you have proof Bush has a copy?  \nThat data was used in the same way our phone and internet information was gathered and used.  And, the collection of that data resulted in going over and above the corrupt Mexican law enforcement agencies to capture known really bad guys.\n\nOh and by the way, have you ever checked what information Choicepoint has on you?  I've checked mine and was shocked to find out how much wrong information they've been reporting.

Yes I think it's a matter of record now... nobody in the Bush administration wants to talk about it though... thank God for the freedom of information act.

Bush isn't spying in on your calls, the CIA has reviewed phone records and call patterns- not listening in on actual calls.\nIf we can prevent another 9-11 incident by watching call patterns wouldn't you expect it?\n\nPLEASE EVERYONE- READ THIS: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/12/19/114807.shtml

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

I have watched this video and although it is very well put together, I do not believe any of it. Honestly people! Think about how much planning and people would have to be involved in what happened. Do you really think that in the year that Bush had been president his administration could have coordinated something like that? Considering the amount of people that would have had to have been involved, why wouldn't anyone be speaking up? Find some of these people and then maybe I'll start to consider some of these crazy ideas!

We have an escalating war in Iraq, impending doom from Iran, a huge deficit, outrageous gas prices, rising health care, lack of good jobs...so...Mr. Bush, to take our minds OFF those things, takes a good hard look at illegal immigration, which has long been ignored. Add to his troubles, he is tapping into our phone conversations and invading our privacy on a daily basis. (I nearly forgot about those!!) What a mess!!!

We can respond to all of their emails stating that they have found US$250 MILLION dollars that they want to send to YOUR bank acct, they will split it with you, please send your bank acct information so that I may make a deposit! \n\nI dont know about you, but Im wondering how I can protect my own a*s from the crooked government that is running my country (America.) My presidents is stepping all over my civil rights, he is performing illegal wiretapping, illegally collecting phone records from millions of Americans, and is fighting an unjust war using our sons and daughters. The price of fuel is skyrocketing, interest rates are soaring, real estate is reversing, and jobs are being lost. The military is about to go "protect" our southern borders from terrorist Mexicans.....oh, wait a sec, got blinded by the BS for a sec there... I meant to say that the Govt is lying to us about why we need to keep Mexicans out - because its to protect us from Terrorism (although 90% of the terrorist on 9/11 were Saudi Arabians....but we are too busy allowing them to buy out our weapons factories to keep them out of the country....\n\nNo offense, but Ive got enough crap to deal with at home than to be worried about Nigerians!

How did 12 Million Mexicans get inside of America with Bush's fool-proof Patriot Act anyway? The news says 2 Million of them got in America in the last 3 months. What the hell! How many Arabs came in with them? What the hell! So do you really think there is a National security threat defcon-5 in America? What the hell! Do you think somebody has been feeding America alot crap all along, like say "ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS" and the whole Bush Administration? Myself I am really sick of there abuse and crap they spew out of there mouths. Bill Frist, Republican from Tennessee said he was going to do something about it without G.Dubya's help. So the Republicans are back-peddling on the own Administration on this issue right now. You can't blame anything on the Democrats; because they don't have any vote the Congress is total majority Republican. It's their problem and their fault with their fool-proof Patriot Act. America was never in any threat at all, and the Republicans played the Fear Card on Americans. That's real Bull, and they need punished for it. I call it Treason, Bush should be Impeached for being the biggest lier in the history of America.

Here are a few of many:\n\nBUSH:In 1945, there were about two dozen lonely democracies in the world. Today, there are 122. And we're writing a new chapter in the story of self-government -- with women lining up to vote in Afghanistan, and millions of Iraqis marking their liberty with purple ink, and men and women from Lebanon to Egypt debating the rights of individuals and the necessity of freedom. At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations.\nMY RESPONSE:The Bush administration has way too much faith in elections as a measure of democracy.  Any country can hold elections - if there are still deep underlying problems in the country, radicals will end up winning and taking the country on a decidedly un-democratic path. Just look at the one recently held election Bush DIDN'T mention - Iran, where Hamas just took power.\n\nBUSH:It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to al Qaeda operatives overseas. But we did not know about their plans until it was too late. So to prevent another attack –- based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute -- I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected al Qaeda operatives and affiliates to and from America. Previous Presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have, and federal courts have approved the use of that authority. Appropriate members of Congress have been kept informed. The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country who are talking with al Qaeda, we want to know about it, because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again.\nMY RESPONSE:I'm not sure which previous president he's talking about, but I do know this: I have no problem with the government monitoring domestic conversations with Al Qaeda.  However, I would prefer them to take the LEGAL option, which only requires them to file a warrant within 48 hours AFTER the tap has taken place.  The agency in charge of approving warrants approves almost ALL of them - so if the requests are legit, why not work within the system. Also, according to the "appropriate members of Congress", they never WERE properly informed, which is illegal.\n\nBUSH:Protectionists want to escape competition, pretending that we can keep our high standard of living while walling off our economy. Others say that the government needs to take a larger role in directing the economy, centralizing more power in Washington and increasing taxes. We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them. (Applause.) All these are forms of economic retreat, and they lead in the same direction -- toward a stagnant and second-rate economy.\nMY RESPONSE:I'm no economist, but protectionism has had a history of working very well in the past when used correctly.\n\nBUSH:Keeping America competitive begins with keeping our economy growing. And our economy grows when Americans have more of their own money to spend, save, and invest.\nMY RESPONSE:Which is why, when Bush took office, we have a huge surplus, and now we have a deficit?\n\nBUSH:This year my budget will cut it again, and reduce or eliminate more than 140 programs that are performing poorly or not fulfilling essential priorities.\nMY RESPONSE:A lot of these programs are important - if they're failing to take care of essential things, they shouldn't be cut - they should be revamped.  I'm willing to pay a little extra for it.\n\nBUSH:And we can tackle this problem together, if you pass the line-item veto. (Applause.) \nMY RESPONSE:The line-item veto borders on un-constitutional.\n\nBUSH:Congress d

Yes, I can see no legal issue with gathering 1003 information from outside the US. I completely disagree with the extended use of foreign phone rooms to solicit US consumers but unfortunately it is not illegal.\n\nHere is some additional info. Hope this helps.
