You're not doing very well trying to make Bush an eavesdropper on Joe Blow. it aint working. We are listening for terrorist activity and the American people know it. You and your buddies keep pounding that point all the way to election day and I sincerely hope you do because it's not resonating with the American people. Have a read:

"Polls show voters might be more inclined to vote for Democrats than Republicans, but there's little in the polling data that suggests wiretaps are the reason.

The economy? Gas prices? Iraq? High health care costs? All have voters worried and concerned. But warrantless wiretaps? It rates hardly a blip on the election radar screen.

In fact, polls show that voters on the whole are quite ho-hum about the issue.

Last January, after the news media trumpeted the revelation that the government was conducting these wiretaps — often using inflammatory terms such as "domestic spying," illegal spying" or "citizen spying" — a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll found that a majority of respondents — 59% — said the government had not gone too far in restricting citizen liberties to fight terrorism.

And a Pew Poll in February found that 54% of Americans thought it was OK for the government to eavesdrop on suspected terrorists without a court order.

That despite some shrill reporting that gave the impression government agents were listening in on phone calls to your mother. It wasn't so, and most Americans knew that".

Looks like you're beating a dead horse, but you keep right on beating it man. I love it.
