Vacuum Method Phone Tapping - GOP Election Strategy
This is a big reason the President and his minions want warrentless phone tapping to continue...

Access to critical phone calls from opposition political leaders. We know already the depths that the Republicans have gone to secure information on opposition candidates. (Watergate) The FISA phone taps are just a smokescreen hide the true intent of surveillance...and that is to monitor and manipulate elections by any means possible.

When those secure NSA secret rooms fire up where is the data going? Who is looking at it? Who is requesting what numbers are looked at? Who can validate that this activity was not used for political purposes?

1. I agree, and don't forget the possiblity
of stock market advantages inherent in hearing all phone calls.

2. Absolutely! I still think they did that to Kerry...
Look at how successful we all could be if we could do the same. We could know the rest of the story before we got part way through the book.

He is in too big a panic, so there has to be more to this than terrorists. He is after someone to blackmail, beat to the punch or covering up what they did up to this point. Otherwise, he'd be leaning back in his chair with that confident smirk on his face...remember 2004 election night?

who has knowledge of their crimes and what is being dobe about it, they are monitoring their own for loyalty, they are constantly acquiring blackmail evidence, they are looking for more ways to steal our money, they are watching all labor and political movements. They are using us and our money to cheat us in every way imaginable. They believe they own us, can own us, can make us bow down, can make it easier for them to run all over us. Each individual is no more important than one security note or one barrel of oil or one ounce of gold.

The only value we have is when we are dumb about what we're doing, show up at work and perform well, are subservient and QUIET OBEDIENT laboring slobs with minds obsessed with sports, shopping, serial tv, celebrities, and a love for their lies and preaching.
