My previous line of questioning was in response to your statement that:
What scares you the most is that the Democrats are allowing the President to violate the laws (I think that's what you meant by "rewriting"). My question, then, was addressing this claim.
I'll finish by saying that Bush's domestic spying program is very compelling evidence that he "truly is worried" about another terrorist attack. Are you insinuating that he's just spying on people for the fun of it?

I should have said politically because that is what I meant.
Besides you did NOT quote all of that did you? Again as so much the case you quoted only what you wanted to and disregarded the rest so you could control the argument......
The WHOLE quote and I have stated in many threads if you quote me quote the whole part so you can not put YOUR meaning behind what I said.
(This "YOU" and "YOUR" is meant as a blanket of the many Right posters who do this continuously.... not just you Politico)

I have been shouting about the borders for how long now? And every time the Right on this board says.... "Oh yeah those ...... well we're wiretapping and we have this that and we're doing this.... but fuck the borders."
So are you saying, "well if the terrorists come across the borders we'll worry about that AFTERWARD?"
I have even said screw all the other wiretappings, the pentagon spyings, etc. let's say they are all legal for this debate.
What about the illegals coming across our borders?
Please don't give another answer...... "I worry about the borders BUt the spying and blah blah blah."
That's the problem NOONE in the Federal government is focussed truly on the borders.
How can you even say you are protecting the nation when you allow 10's of 1000's of illegals cross our borders DAILY???????
