I vote for censure.
Lifted from the Drudge report. The Dimms have a real problem on their
hands, they want to be viewed as the defenders of America by taking
credit for the failed port deals. While at the same time wanting to trash
Bush for trying to protect America by interecepting INTERNATIONAL phone
calls to/from the U.S. So do we have people to worry about from outside
the U.S. or not? The Dimms sure don't know!
FRIST DARES DEMS: MORE CENSURE TALK

**Exclusive**
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist plans to push Democrats for a vote of censure against President Bush!
After facing down Senator Russ Feingold's censure bill on Monday and seeing Democrats of all ranks fold, Frist thinks it's time to call Democrats on their antics, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"He pushed them to the mat today, and they blinked," said one Frist associate. "He dared them to vote, and Democrat Leader Harry Reid looked like he was going to be sick as he said 'No.'''
Frist is going to continue to dare Democrats to vote on censuring the President.
"When it comes to intercepting phone calls from Tora Bora to Topeka, Frist thinks Senate Democrats have made a huge blunder, and he will lead the charge to make Democrats put up or shut up on censure," the top insider claimed.
I vote for censure.
They are so dumb they don't even know who the enemy is
BOMB UAE! They are al queda!!!
But don't tap that phone..
hahahhahhaa they also want to give out all classified projects to TV media.
Dumbasses.
That's only because you're fact-challenged. Those idiots in Washington know the truth -- which is why Feingold can't get any traction.
Yep. You can't profile a Mohammed Atta look-alike at Boston's Logan Airport but, you can profile an entire nation.
They cry about Valerie Plume or whatever her name was BUT the CIA can't even tap a phone. Why have a CIA. They want all programs public.. Why have a CIA?
When it comes to Covert OPS they think you just stand on the corner and eat taco's like a patrolman and things will just fall in your lap.. uh huh.
No, they are spine challenged. President broke the law, president should be censured.
You have cowards in both parties that are afraid of their own shadows if it doesn't poll well.
Indeed. Why bother with a Cons ution and pretending that people are guaranteed freedoms that cannot be infringed by the government? We really should just presume that the government has any power that the Cons ution doesn't expressly spell out.
As to the matter at hand, I don't think censure is appropriate and I think Feingold really screwed up by even suggesting it.
Exactly which law did he break?
Well, the President isn't a coward.
Sure they can tap phones.
Just fill out the paperwork after they're done.

Democrats Beat Quick Retreat on Call to Censure President
By CARL HULSE
WASHINGTON, March 13Very good, lawful, cons utional program.— Senate Democrats on Monday blocked an immediate vote on a call by one of their own to censure President Bush for his eavesdropping program.
They acted after Republicans said they were eager to pass judgment on a proposal that they portrayed as baseless and disruptive to the an error effort.
Minutes before Senator Russell D. Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin, formally introduced his resolution reprimanding Mr. Bush, Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the majority leader, said Republicans were ready to vote by day's end or Tuesday.
"When we're talking about censure of the president of the United States at a time of war, when this president is out defending the American people with a very good, lawful, cons utional program, it is serious business," Mr. Frist said. "If they want to make an issue out of it, we're willing to do just that."
That's why Senator Frist, who recently won a GOP gathering of likely 08 Presidential candidates, has been doing everything short of just putting a gun to other Senator's heads to try and squash any committee investigation into the WH's defense of it's eaves-dropping program.
What a joke!
Rush L. and Hannity have made this same exact argument word-for-word.
They must have read it on Yoni's blog.
en coward Democrats
BREAKING: Feingold Accuses Senate Democrats of “Cowering” To Bush
Sen. Feingold said the following to Fox News’ Trish Turner:
Think ProgressI’m amazed at Democrats, cowering with this president’s numbers so low. The administration just has to raise the specter of the war and the Democrats run and hide. … Too many Democrats are going to do the same thing they did in 2000 and 2004. In the face of this, they’ll say we’d better just focus on domestic issues. … cower to the argument, that whatever you do, if you question administration, you’re helping the terrorists.
JS OnlineTalking to journalists in the Senate Press Gallery, Feingold said Bush's decision to eavesdrop on Americans without judicial warrants is in the "strike zone" of what the framers of the Cons ution saw as "high crimes and misdemeanors" and is "clearly more serious than anything President Clinton was accused of doing."
Feingold added: "It is reminiscent of what President Nixon was not only accused of doing but was basically removed from office for doing."
Feingold said that although impeachment might not be "good for the country," a censure resolution was a "reasonable" way to say, "Look, the guy broke the law, we have to say something about that . . . and let's get back to work."
The president didn't break the law and most of the reasonable citizens know this - that's why the dems are backing down. They know it's vastly unpopular with the citizens of America.
The more the dems show their true colors, the more people are turning away from them.
The Dems need to find their balls, if they are still there, and go after dubya/ head for breaking the FISA laws just like Starr went on a fishing expedition on Clinton.
The law that is being broken is wire tapping American citizens without a warrant. Practically nobody objects to wiretapping terror suspects or people associating with known terrorists. What people who believe in what this country once stood for object to is a president who deems himself above the law and is answerable to no one.
We are asked to trust him when he and his administration have shown a propensity for stretching the truth or outright lying.
As far as whether Bush is a coward or not, is it not cowardly to have "town meetings" where the attendees are screened so that only people who agree with him and who will praise him are allowed in.
No, the dumb-ass baby boomers gave us William Jefferson Clinton, aka the draft dodger!
Politics is a lot like the weather........everyone talks about it but nobody does anything about it!!!!
Democrats rock!!!
Whooooohooooooooo!!!!
Bingo.
I would respect the Democrats in congress a lot more if they had the stones to call the president on his ILLEGAL behavior.
It's as if there were no difference between democrats and republicans.
