McCain = Bush

Too little, too late, you idiot!! You will never "get it"!!! The joke is on you, and you're too stupid to realize it!!! The whole world is laughing their heads off at your degree of incompetency, a total lack thereof!

Don't just blame Bush. There is enough balme to around.

There is really little difference between the Bush warrantless wire tapping Program and other Bush Programs.

Every Program, Issue, Decision, and Action Bush has taken to date has been warrantless, unresearched, unproven, and a failure.

But I agree that any program or policy that undermines a citizen's basic right to personal privacy to gain security leaves many questions unanswered.

And yes I know Bush states his warrantless wire tapping is restricted to visitors but I find that statement very difficult to believe. But then I find any statement made by Bush very difficult to believe.

My question to my fellow Americans is. Come October will there be an engineered flare up in Iraq, Afghanistan, or another contrived attack like 9/11 so that the Bush/Cheney partnership can declare an emergency and use the emergency Powers act to stay in the office of President/Vice President.

this guy kills me with his FISA lies. his scare tactics are pure idiocy. there is law in place that is sufficient since 1978 but this globalist wannabe dictator want his corporate masters to be safe. never mind the people.

I just wonder why nobody has attempted to impeach President Bush yet. Why don't they? Can they?

Every posting here bashed him. I am quite sure my posting won't be posted by CNN as I haven't seen a neutral or positive posting about Bush here.

My 2 cents is that if you want to impeach Bush, do it as soon as possible or the man is getting out of the office. If you know you have no reason to impeach him, because he is doing the right thing to keep us safe, thank him for it with courage.

No immunity for telecoms!!!!! The mere fact that there were telecoms who did not give in to spying on American Citizens is case in point!!!!! THOSE WHO WOULD GIVE UP LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER!!!!!

The Bush/Cheney/Rove administration has brought shame down upon our country and has destroyed our reputation around the world.

The Bush/Cheney/Rove administration has raped our constitution in the name of fear not of courage. Instead of "staying the course" of the proud values of constitution and protecting the rights of individuals, this administration has used FEAR to sway the cowardly.

The Bush/Cheney/Rove administration has violated our Military by exposing it's limits and giving other powers around the world a major strategic advantage because they now know what we can and cannot do. Our troops now fight for another country's constitution and babysits another countries dysfunctional government.

McCain will do the same.

The Warrantless Wiretapping is the last step before full dictatorship by the Republican Party.

The Republican Party already took over the CIA. With Warrantless Wiretapping, they will have the power similar to Putin, who has the warrantless wiretapping power and uses KGB to do the dirty work. Any opposition to Putin will be found and demolished. Same thing with the Republican Party. Once they have the warrantless wiretapping permanently in place, any opposition to the Republican Party will be identified and demolished.

We already have a warrant-system wiretapping in place. All the CIA has to do is to have some reasonable findings and easily obtain a warrant from the Justice Department to wiretap an organization or individual. At least the Justice Department has a say before a wiretap is taken place.

Warrantless wiretapping will lead to only one-party government, governed by the Republican Party permanently. We will experience what Russia is experiencing: a one-party government system.

Ameican can not afford to fund a War with no end date. Hell, since Bush feel so strong about IRAQ let him go and fight the war.

Let one of his daughters go over and fight in the war.

This man is full of S__t, as Hillary says he's a lot of hat and no cattle.

He not concern about the average American.If he was a CEO he was have been FIRED!!!!!!!!

IMPEACH THIS MAN NOW.

ECONOMY HAS NO EFFECT ON THE BUSH AND THE CHANEY FAMILY SINCE THERE SO STRONG ABOUT THIS WAR I INVITE THEIR FAMILY MEMBER TO JOIN IN THE WAR..

If the Bush administration needs to wiretap, it's VERY simple. Do it the legal way, get a warrant! The courts and the telecoms understand that process.
Bush plays the FEAR card every chance he gets. Don't fall for it!
One of Bush and Cheney's major goals is ultimate power to the prsidency. (Don't you folks understand? We should be immune from ANY laws! WE are the president!)
Bush has lied so many times to ALL of us, that ANYTHING he says seems suspect!

Why has Iraq suddenly fallen off the media's darling list? Has Bush's democracy accomplishments muzzled their anti-freedom Americanism??

No coverage at all on the fast growing economy in the world or about the extremely busy hospitals. No not more casulties, in fact, a BABY BOOM and a sure sign of peace to come if your a history buff...

Yeah, lets impeach the man that is responsible for freeing 57 million people from tryany. More than anyone else in the last 75 years!! Yeah, lets impeach Bush so our grandchildren will know the mindless political games we played with their futures.

It is time to give shrub a proper example of torture, a dose of water boarding!

Everyone is balking at Bush, but ahmm are we forgetting that the majority of Americans put him in office for two terms?

So many people were cheering for him in his run for the first term, like they are now doing with Obama, and all of a sudden, when he is in the White House he can't even deliver.

Like I want to hear economice advice from Bush. We have the worst economy in 26 years thanks to his and the republicans stewardship of our country. No Thanks! It's time for new blood!

Who in their right mind would even bother to listen to this demented turd!i

im not a bush supporter, but i must say that our congress which is mostly democratic rarely stands against him. our economic problems are not only due to the president , but our great congress is a lot to blame. investigating this that and the other. congress needs to stay focused on our domestic problems. figure out ways to cut spending instead they sit up in washington figuring out ways to spend money that we dont even have. i dont know about you but i do have to stay on some sort of budget. maybe we should hold washington to the same. its apparent that our elected officials dont seem to have our best interest at heart. they get elected and leave , move to washington and forget why they were elected. promises, hope, and change seem to change and change is what we are left with in our pockets. just a thought

The son that only a mother can be proud of!

Good heavens, this is our WORST PRESIDENT EVER! A plaque reading this should be placed on his "official picture". He, and his crony Cheny should be impeached!!!

Gosh, I'll sure be glad to see him gone, hope the door hits him on the way out.

good explaination DAN TX some don't understand they just run there mouth and don't realize they are speaking against a law that protects them. Sometimes I wonder if congress know what's going on.

Bush tells the American people: if you aren't doing anything wrong, why are you worried about being spied on?

Here's a question to Bush: if the telecom companies did nothing wrong, why give them (retoractive) immunity?

I hope Congress grows a pair and stands up for the people they are supposed to represent.

Mr Bush, you have a solid track record of distorting the truth for your own personal gain and that of your buddies. Please just quietly go away and let us never speak of you again.

It is hilarious how much this president OWNS the Left-wing part of the Democratic party.....You people are so full of hate you can not even see the world around you. Pathetic is what it is...Bush will never stand trial cause he didnt do anything wrong but try to end a brutal dictorship and save millions of Iraqis......The left is so hypocritical and inconsistent and down right IGNORANT. Bush beat you twice and it looks like he beats you everyday inside your lil tiny brain of yours. Desperate People.

Just another example of how my beloved Republican party has lost its way. Republicans don't support this type of action, we believe in less government and civil freedoms.

This is why I and so many other Republicans are voting for a more liberal candidate this fall. Maybe this will teach these so called Republicans, who betray are basic values, a lesson and we can get back to the party we once were.

Bush is the Herbert Hoover of our time..... what a LOSER

Does anybody still listen to this person?

What has this pitiful liberal 110th Congress accomplished? Are they going to wait for Christmas again this year before rolling over in front of W...., again??

And we are about to elect one of it's members to the presidency, sad...

Stop the loss of freedom!! Being "safe" should never be a reason to lose our civil liberties.

This is not an election this is a MAIN Stream Media show

i think this guy is the real terrorist threat – let's listen in on his phone calls.

IMPEACH !!

We don't have enough money to take care of things at home... we certainly can't afford an AIDS-relief program for Africa.

Say what you want about Bush from the Liberals , but you should be praising this man on his work with Africa. Your hate has blinded you from the amazing work America led by president Bush is doing for the people of Africa. The left is inconsistent and hypocritcal.

The only thing I want to hear from George W. Bush is that he and Dick Cheney are resigning – effective immediately.....

The president has already proven that his word is worthless. Why does congress, or anyone for that matter, listen to him?

FISA needs no help. It's provisions are independent of the the package itself. Bush just wants to help cover for all the crooked things he and the pushovers at the phone companies did.

He also does not want to have to eat crow on the battle with Qwest.

I still hang my head in shame that this country will Impeach over oral sex but not the impressive resume of treason the Bush Regime has racked up.

"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither."
Benjamin Franklin

Similar to what some keep saying about not saying we're in a recession (self-fulfilling prophecy), I'll tell myself that it's his resignation speech. And as his last act as president he will unilaterally change the line of succession to skip the V.P.

He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say, we'll miss him...
-Tool

(for those that don't know this band, the "we'll miss him" part is sarcasm)

There is now immunity for treason,nor should there be pardons for those that broke the law,not even him.

Bushwacker is gonna wake up now......after 7 years.

Give me a break.

I-M-P-E-A-C-H. Bill Clinton heard those words for lying about having an extramarital affair. Nothing has happened to "g.w. bush", he lied to congress, the American people and the entire world. Sent us into a war and has caused more death in Iraq than Saddam Hussein ever did. When are we going to say ENOUGH!! spending & lying. He needs to be brought to justice & there is more than enough evidence against him to put him away than evidence stacked against Hussein, a man he had his hands in on murdering. Anything he says and supports I completel and wholeheartedly OPPOSE!!!

What was wrong with my comment, or is it that comments from me will not be accepted; if that's the case, please advise me of it so I won't wate any more of my or your time.

Thanks,

William Cormier

Bush's AIDS relief for Africa is pathetic because he still refuses to give them condems, and only allows abstinence only preaching organization to get federal funding there....like that's ever going to work in Africa!

To Ben:

It's pretty much a given that the federal government has the capability to record all international communications in and out of the US. The real problem is that there are not enough human analysts nor smart enough computer programs to FILTER through all of the collected data. In today's electronic world, there is NO PRIVACY in any spoken or written communication that is transmitted over the air (e.g. microwave relay, satellite, etc.). Get used to it....

Unless you start using flag words frequently like "bomb", "explosive", "weapons" to your wife and in-laws in Mexico, you're probably OK.

IMPEACH THEM NOW!!!!
IMPEACH THEM NOW!!!!
IMPEACH THEM NOW!!!!
IMPEACH THEM NOW!!!!

Thank George Bush,

America been duke, this man has lied, made so many deal that profited himself and Dick Chaney and we open our eye a little too late.
Now, his sucessor John McCain will attept to do the same.

America don't be fooled again.

Who Profits:

Hiigh Oil Prices – the Bush and Chaney family
Security - Dick Chaney
Military Spending DIck Chaney
Clinton
We all ne to study and follow the money and see who profited while our family member died in a war that could have been avoided.

Too late for the lame duck President who should be impeached along with Cheaney, congress should ignore anything that comes out of his mouth. Can't wait for Barack to be sworn in, less then 1 year now already seems like theres light on the horizon. Obama 08

If they think someone is a bad guy and need a warrant to listen in... THEY CAN EASILY GET ONE. Letting this bill expire will not prevent that. A more focused approach to catching terrorists seems to make more sense than spying on millions of innocent people, right?

If Bush wants something, then you can be sure that it won't benefit anyone but himself or his cronies. The man is the WORST PRESIDENT EVER and needs to be impeached!

I am proud of Bush. Although he is un-popular, he has kept America safe since 9/11. Kudos and hats off.

Bush is Lame. The Democratic Congress is more lame. They ALL need to be run out of town.

If we keep our eyes on the ball in this game we will not see the bases being stolen. In the end even with a home run what is the the victory here? It's best to not owe any money to anyone right now. As fast as we all paid in so can we all not spend. Be clean but let your clothes turn to rags if that is what it takes in being truthful.

Why not address China's predatory trade practices? Moron !

Please, I beg you, US Congress, reject ANY article pertaining to FISA – has President Bush not violated enough of our american rights and liberties and ruined any chance of privacy? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

LOOK OF A MAN .......soon to pay for his crimes!!!

Disgusted US ARMY Vet!!!

I hope congress will listen to Bush. I am not afraid for anyone to listen in on my phone conversations. And If you know anything about it they don't listen in on anyone just because they call overseas. It gives them the authority to listen in on suspected terroist not just the general public.

Is he still here? Hasn't he started packing his bags already? January 20 can't come soon enough for us.

Doesn't he realize its too late. He has done far too much damage and I don't think this 10am news conference is gonna make a big deal. I sure pitty the next president, cause they have alot of BS to clean up.

He acts like a spoiled child who isn't getting his way....I'm so sick of that attitude....just don't even listen to him at all....tired of all the lies, tired of all his so called fear speeches, they don't work anymore for me...I'm just plain tired of the whole thing, it is time for some new blood....This is the worst we have ever had....

Tired and Sorry, Sorry, Nothing piece of Nothing.
Sad sad sad Hot Odor Reaping Air.
Move on ole sad case OF nothing.

START THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS FOR THE OLD STINK.

Who cares Bush get the devil home on out of here!!!!!

Let's see what He has to say...

Worst. President. Ever.

Don't understand why Bush is pressing Congress to take action on the warrantless wiretapping bill, when Bush, Cheney and Cheney's lawyer previously went around Congress and did it illegally. If Congress acts on it, looks like the illegality of what was previously done would be washed under the table. I hope Congress waits until the next president is appointed and act on FISA, there are too many unanswered questions.

Your legacy of the "Worst President Ever" is looming. I can't wait for the day that Americans can wake up without a Bush, or a Clinton as president.

Reagan was right–it really will be morning in America.

Tick tock already...just leave GW.

George will give us another "News?" Conference.....Cheney will chew us out as unpatriotic dolts, and I will continue to mark big red X"S on my calendar.

What's the point? He's just going to lie!

Thank God, we won't have to see him after January..

Why am I not excited about this "event"?

SOOO Since we know he only really cares about the immunity issue of the wire tapping bill is he going to further blackmail the house by tieing the Africa issue to it as well?

More of President Bush's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Just remember that November is almost here.

IMPEACH!!!!

Lame duck.

It is a terrible thing when Americans are afraid of their own goverment.
Maybe I am paranoic, but I spend a lot of time in Mexico(my wife is Mexican and her whole family lives in Mexico.
When I make phone calls from Mexico to our sons, in California I always wonder if BIG BROTHER is listening in!
We often make uncomplimentary remarks about him. Nothing serious, that I would be afraid to say in these blogs. Just that we do not like him.
My worry is maybe one of these intruders on our privacy will be as paranoic as I am and think we are terrorists or un American.

It's too late Bush! Just when we are finally getting a glimpse into the future with our presidential hopefulls who are bringing change, that's when you decide to step in and do some work. My advice to you, just sit back and wait till November.

FISA should stay buried. In truth, the law is in effect for 12 more months, and we are not in any more danger than we were two weeks ago (although we're in much more danger than we were in 1999.) Bush is so worried about someone suing his beloved telecoms and then HIM, that he will say anything to get Congress to agree. Sorry, Mr. Lame Duck, we're through being terrified by your dire warnings. With any luck, Congress will stand firm on this, and then move toward the real issues, impeachment and jail!
