How would they respond to wiretapping if Clinton was in office.

I guess we all know that one.

1. I think that there would be a M$M shutdown until he resigned

No papers printed, no tv shows aired, no music on the radio.

14. oh Hell! Fox doesn't even count.

I think that every one is catching on that Fox news is just part of the republican wacko party. But you are right that everthing would stop for them if it was Democratic doing the spying.

6. Brian Lamb sked that question on WJ thiis AM.

It was an interesting hour. About 1/2 the Pubs said they wouldn't want ANYOnE getting their phone info, no matter who was in charge, and of course the other 1/2 said the old "I'm not doing anything wrong, and I trust Shrub, plus he KEEPING ME SAFE!"

ALL the Dems said NO< It doesn't matter who's in charge, the Gov't has NO RIGHT!

9. That's the Republican mantra suddenly

these same people who absolutely despised and loathed the government when Clinton was in charge (and, also, by their own description don't trust or support big government) seem to have no problem with BushCo trampling over their privacy rights and invading their personal lives.

"I have nothing to hide"

Ok, fine.

But what happens when the things you do, which aren't wrong or though to be "unpatriotic" yet, suddenly make you a threat?

12. Brian even tried to goad them into an honest answer.

He would say, well how would you feel if it was a different President...someone like BC or Hillary? The ones who said they trusted Shrub all responded they wouldn't want a Dem doing it because they don't trust THEM! It was actually quite funny and Brian did a good job!
