Tom Hagen....The Republicans played this one beautifully !

[busterbrown]

So the Republicans are all concerned over the Electronic Surveillance Program which started on their watch. They certainly won’t deny that fact.. But isn’t it true that right now the message being trumpeted
out by everyone is that Govt. can not be trusted on such matters? That we must reign in govt which is illegally spying on the public by ignoring the Constitution? Well, who is currently in charge of the govt? By the way things are going won’t that mean to many who don’t pay attention, that a change is needed in the party which currently controls the presidency?

I believe this is going to a be a major campaign issue for Republicans..And we better get on top of this issue quickly..

5. Funny you should notice.

Must be one of those elitists we hear so much about..

10. Hey, you don't need to be an elitist to dislike improper grammar and spelling.

Why is it important to use correct grammar and spell correctly? Spelling is easy to check, but grammar is a bit more difficult.

Using correct grammar is important because it permits you to state your opinions clearly and concisely. When you have to reread a sentence two or three times, you lose the thread of the point the poster is trying to make. Often some commas will help. But it isn't just punctuation. It is not that hard to learn; all you have to do, is pick up a high school grammar book and study a while. Honestly people, didn't you have to study a little bit to learn how to use your computer properly to get the best outcomes. It is the same with writing. Just study a book, or perhaps you can Google it.

Don't begrudge the lovers of correct spelling and grammar. It actually is like chalk on a blackboard. We can't help it. You, however, can. Education is good for the soul.

3. Beautifully? Seems like quite a conundrum

NSA surveillance good - Background checks for guns bad

Can't wait for that explanation.

4. Senator Leahy is all concerned about it and has been for years.

So is Senator Sanders. Gonna claim they're just trying to damage the President?

7. Time for republicans to call for an outright repeal of the Patriot Act!

Get John Cornyn on this. He'll know what to do.

11. Political Theater will in NO WAY get me to compromise my liberties, sir. OUR President

said he would only allow this to happen some of the time, and only with a Court order. The idea that court orders were rubber stamped to include data mining on everyone *IS* in and of itself cause for concern.

Really. Politics be damned if the Constitution is violated.
