We should all spy on Congress.
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 04:43 PM by arcadian
Don't let these fuckers have a moments rest. Hire private detectives to follow them. Surveillance of their homes. We should make it so these fuckers feel like they are under a microscope 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How much dirt would be brought to the surface? How much fodder for the tabloids? Pictures, tape recordings, background checks all the way to the 1st grade. Interview friends, family of every member of Congress. Dossiers of their dirty little secrets. Let them really know how it feels.

1. I recall Pelosi all in a tizzy because protesters were camped outside her house...
...guess they should've just been listening to her conversations!

2. Maybe some good hackers could do this and then put what they find
out on the internet.

3. everything they say and do should be videotaped
If they are in some supposedly classified intel briefing, an independent judge should decide if the tape can be released, not the individual members of congress themselves.

7. K&R No fucking shit
All I know is that we gotta change the laws going forward. We need a Dem congress to undo just about EVERY FUCKING THING THAT SHRUB has done.

And put these people in office under the same microscope they have put us under.

9. Exactly. LBJ got it going, Atwater and Rove honed it to a fine edge.
Considering that there are few at the National level that wouldn't do just about anything to hide dirty secrets concerning family or business.

At the time, I thought that was about the funniest thing I had ever heard.

Still do.

13. They would use their Bushie HS and SS Thugs to squash us in a second.
Arrest. Imprisonment. Finings. You name it.

Besides, the Bushies already do that with Total Information Awareness.

In either case, we have one chance. Don't waste it on dead ends.

17. Hate to say it, but I think Bush is one step ahead of you.
Remember Tom DeLay and the closeted Repubs who all voted lock-step?

19. Time for
counter intelligence, high tech style. But we can't discuss that here. Not underground enough.

*This is a note to the spooks listening, please do what you can to uphold the Constitution for us. Be a whistle blower and take names of people who are working to undermine our democracy instead of spying on average Americans. Who knows perhaps you can get published. Everyone needs to work within their own arena, do it for your kids. Thanks for listening, really.

24. How about declaring a general "Spy Strike"....
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 11:09 PM by calipendence
Let's ALL take a day off of work for one day, and all do our damndest to spy on EVERY government official during that time!

Not only would we look for stuff they are doing, they'll have a hard time "gettin service" anywhere too!

And maybe shoot them with water guns too... If they don't like it, say that water guns are just microscopic in terms of an effect compared to water boarding, and they say that waterboarding is OK, SO THERE!
