{OT:} What Democrats should do with FISA

Here is a very good plan.  When the Democrats get back in power and
restore the constitution, they can follow the letter of the law and
tap all the Bush family phone.  After all the entire family seems to
have a large number of Islamic terrorist friends.  In fact, Shrub
holds hands with a few every time he is in their company.  Daddy Bush
is friends with the bin Laden family.  Neil Bush lives part time in
South America.

In fact, the entire Bush administration past and present needs to have
all phone calls and internet traffic recorded, and all emails and usps
mail opened and copied.

We owe it to ourselves to ferret out the collaborators in our midst.

So, you would rather Congress go after sports figures on steroids than
ragheads on bombs? Great.

Are you aware that Hillary has said she will force you to buy health
insurance, and if she finds out you do not have it she will garnish your
wages AND give you a fine for not participating voluntarily?

Whom is the bigger danger to you, one that will never listen to you unless
you place a phone call to Pakistan or the one that will empty your bank
account?

George H.W. Bush, the former president, socializes in Kennebunkport with
people from a country which is a state sponsor of terrorism. According to
the new rules, George H.W. Bush's phonecalls with those people may (and
probably should) be monitored.

Okay. Do you care that Bush Daddy is monitored, or do you care that YOU are
monitored?

I don't care that you or he are monitored, I only care that _I_ am
monitored. I avoid being monitored by not calling Pakistan.

There are 300,000,000 Americans. This is far too many to monitor, unless
they focus on a very few -- probably numbering in the tens. I much prefer
these be monitored, than having Her Thankleness tap my checking account
because I do not have health insurance. And, I prefer a few be monitored
instead of counting the HGH shots that Clements got.

All I care about is that the constitution is not stepped on. As you know
(but are hoping nobody will mention), the law has already been broken in the
name of "patriotism and safety". We can't let that continue.

You cannot amend the Constitution with persistent evasion.

FISA is not unconstitutional. Yes, FISA has been broken and that's a bad
thing. But banks have been robbed and that's a bad thing. Are you suggesting
we scrap the bank-robbery laws because they have been broken already? That's
absurd.

You are suggesting we scrap FISA because it was broken. Indeed, you are
applauding the end of FISA, will you cheer just as enthusiastically when
bank-robber laws are scrapped?

It is notable that you do not protest Hillary's plan to go into your
checkbook and grab your money.

Where do you draw the line on what the government can do to you?

First of all, you will immediately eject your health plan comments and
questions from this discussion, since they are not related to electronical
surveillance. I will not address the issue here, so you're only adding
clutter.

Capisce?

Well, you're not addressing electronic surveillance either ...

As always, you dial in on the sh.t that does not matter, and completely miss
the big picture.

The big picture is that you do not want the government to spy in on your
phone calls, but seem perfectly okay with the government spying on your bank
account. The odds favor they not listen in to your measly discussions -- and
certainly not mine -- but they will check to see if you have health care,
then garnish your wages and issue a fine if you do not have health care. The
issue is not the health care or FISA, it's that government is watching you.

Capisce.

Your ability to miss the big picture is amazing.

I'll type slow, and use the big letters for you ... Ready?
THE BIG PICTURE IS THAT HILLARY SAID SHE WILL LOOK TO SEE IF YOU CAN AFFORD
HEALTH INSURANCE, THEN LOOK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE IT, THEN FINE YOU IF YOU
DON'T AND TAKE THE MONEY FROM YOU WITHOUT ASKING.

Which government program is more intrusive, the one where Hillary will take
your money and force you into health coverage, or the one where they might
listen in on your phone calls to your raghead a.shole buddies that are
plotting to land another jet into the side of a tall building? Of these two
intrusions, which one is best for the rest of American society?

Hillary has already said that she will do this. Congress might block her,
but if Congress continues to be dominated by Dimocrats, odds favor them
signing off on the plan.

It won't fly.

And, about the FISA bill:   You need to get a better source of information.
You've been played, as always, by whatever your current sources are. Find
one which requires sitting quietly and listening or reading for more than
1/2 hour.

And, wipe the spit off your screen.

No, Hillary said she's gonna do Universal Health Care. Like most other
industrialized Nations. Universal Health Care will restore the ability
of American manufacturers to compete in world markets. Or don't you
care about that. Oh, you probably don't care about that, your're a
self serving Republican.

The Govt already takes my money and spends it on sh.t I don't want.
Frankly, I'd rather they spent it on Health Care.

Get yourself a copy of the Constitution and tell me where it empowers
your Govt to spy on you without a court order. Or, like Bush, do you
see the Constitution as a bunch of suggestions regarding how our Govt
should work?

Europe, UK, Canada, US.  The drugs are manufactured all over the
world.  One or two pharma companies are US companies, most are owned
by UK or European companies.  THe few pharma companies (Merck) will be
driven out of business when they cannot compete with the cheap R&D
teams in CHina.  If you are thinking China can't do this, they can.
We trainied generations of Indians and Chinese in drug R&D and IT.

There is an erroneous belief that all drugs are discovered in the
U.S.  Not so now and especially in the near future.

What you don't know is just about all Pharma companies are now moving
the R&D groups to China.  The IT departments are mostly gone.

I work in the industry.  All that will be left soon in the U.S. will
be the back offices, sales and advertising.  These are things Rush
Lintball, Sean Vanity. Billow Rielly, and all the other rightwingnut

The employee costs are much cheaper off-shore.  Even when Indians and
Chinese move back to their countries to work for the company doing the
outsourced work in their home country and take a pay cut they still
have a large salary.  Plus, my soapbox rant, they have national
healthcare so companies don't have that expense.

My Indian co-workers tell me that if I moved to India and made just
1/3 of my salary I could buy a house and hire a cook and house maid.

It's been a rollercoaster ride the past 4 years at work.  Right now my
group is under scrutiny.  My objectives for 2008 are to package and
outsource all operations & service aspects of my job.  I could ignore
the objectives thinking I'll keep my job but I get raises and a bonus
based my performance carrying out those objectives.  If I'm left with
too few "analyst/management" jobs/tasks then I'm gone.

Managers have said in meetings that if the Democrats win there will be
more layoffs and outsourcing.

When you work for an American company, multiple your salary by 2.5 and
that's the real cost to your employer to keep you onboard.

All of what you describe can be almost directly attributed to high
corporate taxes, unions, and mandatory healthcare.  I'm not saying
these things should be abolished but I am saying if socialized medicine
is forced upon us you can bet your job more of what you describe will
be done to keep the profit margin acceptable to the shareholder.

Healthcare isn't mandatory.  Corporations offer it for many reasons
but it is not mandatory.  Even if you consider unions, healthcare is
part of the bargaining process.  BTW, I don't have figures but unions
jobs are a very low percentage of American jobs.

As far as corporate taxes, if American corporations would reinvest
profits into the infrastucture instead of looking for mergers to
generate profits, and especially paying top managers bonuses and
golden parachutes, things might be better here.

I can tell you I don't have a soundbite to knock your argument over.
But I will surmise the problems are not easily solved by cutting taxes
to corporations or disbanding unions.  If it were that simple it would
already have been done.  My experience is if corporations want to do
something, they will do it.

You know that statement, if America is so bad why does everyone want
to come here?  I ask, if American business taxes and workers are so
bad why do foreign investors and companies want to own Ameircan

Relative to foreign government business taxes ours are much less.
Maybe that's why foreign investors want to own American businesses.  It
is precisely that road we don't want to go down which socialized
healthcare will require.

Oh, the irony!  Where in the Constitution does it say socialized health
care can be forced upon the people?  Where does it say social services
are to be provided unless you think "provide for the general welfare"
means that?

I have already answered that in the past but here I go again...

The fastest way to lower medical costs is to deny anything but the
basic care to anyone who is not a citizen or a legal green card
carrier.  The only exception would be those who are prepared to pay for
the costs of the services.

Too bad this is, ironically, illegal to do in Kalifornia.  You've got
to be amazed at the stupidity of our legislators:

They make this illegal, then bitch about hospital closures due to
financial strain.

OK. That's done.

How much would that lower the cost of health insurance? Provide sources for
your guesses.

Let's see it done first.  It will also lower the crime rate
tremendously.  The cost savings to the country would be incredible.

I still see no source for the cost savings you're claiming. Obviously, there
would be some, an amount greater than zero. But, you said "incredible". Show
me sources.

I heard repugnantcans on C-SPAN on the way home pushing lie after lie
that without retroactive immunity the telecomms will get sued.  So not
true.

All telecomm companies have automatic immunity IF they collect data
with a court order.  If the data collection was 5 years ago ot takes
place tomorrow AND there is a FISA court order, the telecomm or any
other company can collect data without any fear of law suits.

Bushie wants retroactive immunity to cover his butt when the justice
department flips the telecomm CEOs and they turn state's evidence
against Bush/Cheney.

That would be a glorious day for me.

That's about the size of it. If everyone involved with getting surveillance
underway obeys the law, immunity becomes a non-issue. So, anyone who insists
on any other version of immunity must be planning on breaking the law.

You dumb sh.t....

The Telecons did it without a court order after 9/11.

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT!

Now thanks to you idiotic Dims....the Telecoms won't do it any more.
They don't  trust the Dims (which are OWNED by trial lawyers).

If you truly believe Bush/Cheney have been in cahoots with the Saudis
then why has the Democrat-controlled Congress allowed this supposed act
of betrayal and/or spying to continue?  Are they truly that incompetent
that they can't have them arrested and put to trial?  That shouldn't be
too hard to prove if what you imply is true.  Maybe the real answer is
no such thing is happening and you are caught up in conspiracy theories
or maybe the entire US government is in the back pockets of the Saudis
and the Chinese.

Tell me, did Bush/Cheney set up 9/11?

No.  Don't be silly.  The Bush and the Saudi family have many shared
financial interests.  Consider that even though just about all the
9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, there were no consequences to
Saudi Arabia.  The only planes flying after 9/11 were the planes
carrying the bin Ladan family out of the U.S.

I think the main reason Shrub attacked Iraq was because Sadam offered
a reward to anyone who killed Shrub's daddy, and Shrub wanted to equal
or best his daddy.

Fairly lame reasons to waste the U.S. treasurery and our military.

Then how did he manage to get so many other countries on board with his
plan?  How did he manage to fool so many intelligence organizations
into believing his claims of Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction?  It
certainly isn't his eloquent speech or good looks.  Maybe there really
was something to all that, after all why would all these other
countries have risked their money, reputation and lives?

Bush and the Neocons fabricated believable evidence.  We had the
paperwork that 95% of the weapons were distroyed during the W.H. Bush
administration, and Clinton's.  Remember what the British were told,
"We will fix the intell" or words to that effect.

If what you say is true then Bush/Cheney are indeed THE most shrewd,
manipulative  politicians EVER!  Not only did they fool the American
people, intelligence organizations, Congress, the world, but even God!
All this in the span of one year in power.  Saddam Hussein must be a
martyr.

Are you sure they weren't responsible for 9/11?  What about the
non-existent plane that hit the Pentagon?  How about the missles that
were actually used?  What about the explosives that were hidden all
over the WTC to make sure it fell faster?  How about the WTC building
that went down before the Twin Towers?  Surely Cheney's henchmen lit
the fuses and ran like crazy.

By insisting he was right, but refusing to share details about the
information. That's the same thing he treats http://www.iaea.org/. The
behavior is justified by saying "If we gave you a lot of details, it would

You should read a book called "Sleeping With The Devil", by Robert Baer.
That will answer most of your questions about the Saudis and the Bush
family.

You won't read it, though. Why is that? Why would you rather whine for

said SHOULD BE PUNISHED if such a country ever attacked. He repeatedly used

I do not agree, completely. Pro-sports players should be governed by their
respective sport. If baseball wants to have juiced players, or turn a blind
eye to them, then that is baseball's choice. Football, basketball, and so on
are all the same.

Players on juice are bad, but more for the player than anybody else. And,
bad for the sport, which is why the sport should deal with these guys. In
any case, juiced players is not a congressional issue.

Oh, but it's so much more fun to play Sherlock, questioning sports figures
about their alleged use of steroids, than to attend to the many problems
facing this nation.   Thus Congress plays Sherlock.
It's none of their damn business in the first place, any more than an

The bl.wj.b inquisition was a matter of national security also.  Not
only that it was an executive using his power over an intern to gain
favors.  You cannot compare the two.  One is investigating privately
run organizations and the other is investigating public officials who

I see you are painted into a corner again.

It was also a violation of a federal regulation that Clinton himself
signed into law.

You are a lunatic fixated on a point of view that most republicans
avoid discussing because of embarrassment.  Compare Clinton's
transgression to all the republican closeted queens and the sheer
weight of the rightwing's depravity is stunning.

Clinton got a bl.wj.b from a woman.  How many republican _males_ have
been caught GIVING bl.wj.bs (senators, congressman, religious leaders
preaching republican ideals).

If I were you I'd moxnix the bl.wj.b argument

No, I won't.  Anyone found using their position to gain personal favors
from anyone, much less subordinates, should be fired immediately.  I
don't care what their political affiliation is or who they are.  The
President of the United States has to be held to the highest standards
of anyone barring religious leaders.

We do - just look at American pro soccer and  the WNBA.

That is not entirely correct. History shows that for the government to give
one dollar to one taxpayer it takes two from another taxpayer.  In other
word to give on dollar in "free healthcare" to one person they will take a
one from you and one from another taxpayer   ;)

Did you actually believe you were being clever or insightful when you
typed that?   Was it the beer(s)?

Provide some evidence that each $1 given to one person costs $2 from
other people.  Why is it $2 and not $1.10 or $50?

You make it seem as nutty as the government mailing out tax rebate
checks while running a budget deficit.
