Caught in the Act
of what Bush had to say about wiretapping in 2004 and what he has to say about it now.
Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires-a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution. -- George Bush - April 2004

Could these people lie any more? And they get caught at it over and over and yet nothing seems to happen to them. You'd think all Americans would be onto their game by now but I guess it's more important for them to have their taxes lowered than to have their constitution and bill of rights followed. Oh wait, they feel so much SAFER with this bozo in office.

Really it is one lie after another.
All for security.
I keep on thinking one takes the cake and then there is another.
The dems should be all over this one. Have a sit down on the floor of the congress, until they appoint a true committee to look into this latest impeachable offense!
