		<description>Unfortunately, the repugs have been running things until the Democrats took over in the last election. However, they have just barely a majority so the repugs are able to run roughshod over everything they try to do to pull us out of this deadly tail-sin we’re in.

Sadly, by the time the Democrats are able to get the oversight mechanisms fixed on specific targets, Bu$h will be gone. But what I’m really concerned is just what mechanisms he has started that no one knows about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/acer/as07b72.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;acer as07b72 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/acer/batbcl11.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;acer batbcl11 battery&lt;/a&gt; but a few selected people that will keep on churning unnoticed because they are so well hidden. It may take decades to uncover the depth of secrecy that occurred under his watch with repug approval.</description>

		<description>Concerning 53, the Clinton Administration did support a Clipper Chip.  I opposed that as a private citizen before entering the Administration in early 1999.  We fixed that with the announcement in September 1999, which authorized strong encryption: http://www.fas.org/irp/news/1999/09/990916-crypto-wh1.htm

When FIDNet became public as a preliminary proposal in 1999, Sandy Berger went out the same day to announce that the privacy office would be involved in a top-to-bottom review.  We fixed that as well, as described in the post.

This Administration, by contrast, hasn&#039;t fixed its own mistakes, and hasn&#039;t voluntarily had any officials in the White House to work on privacy and civil liberties issues.

No big, sprawling Administration will be perfect on every issue.  But putting people in place to work on important issues helps, as does fixing your own mistakes.</description>

		<description>I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

This is the oath which is sworn by these people upon entering office.

I&#039;ve heard too many congressmen and senators say things like: &#039;We do have a moral obligation to impeach, but it&#039;s not politically feasable. It&#039;s off the table.&#039; 

They do in fact seem to have a legal obligation. More importantly, it&#039;s a sacred charge to do &lt;strong&gt;whatever &lt;/strong&gt; is needed to not just slow, but reverse any such attacks and purge those who would commit to them. Anything less seems to my eyes as nothing short of complicity in treasonous acts. No matter which party they hail from.</description>

		<description>I am surprised that so many people blame Bu$h for the problems facing the nation today. Sad fact is, he normally wouldn&#039;t get away with what he has if Congress had done their job and keep a tight rein on him, as the Constitution says they should.

Unfortunately, the repugs have been running things until the Democrats took over in the last election. However, they have just barely a majority so the repugs are able to run roughshod over everything they try to do to pull us out of this deadly tail-sin we&#039;re in.

But what I&#039;m really concerned is just what mechanisms he has started that no one knows about but a few selected people that will keep on churning unnoticed because they are so well hidden. It may take decades to uncover the depth of secrecy that occurred under his watch with repug approval.</description>

		<description>#43 That&#039;s what I find very peculiar about all of this.  Bush is not making any attempt to wind down which gives me pause for reflection on his true intentions here.  I think he knows he&#039;s not going anywhere anytime soon.  That&#039;s what&#039;s most disconcerting about his actions these days.  They might be a tipoff of things to come.  Martial law.  No election.  Bush in power indefinitely.</description>

		<description>About the only freedom left under our constitution is the right to free speech so if they are able to destroy this by using some flimsy excuse for doing so, it will all be accomplished:  The coup on our democracy by Crime Cabal Bush.  

I&#039;m waiting to see one of the candidates come out against this invasion of our privacy and right to free speech.  The one who does gets my vote.</description>

		<description>The Bush Nightmare is just beginning I fear.  We, the Gullible, are falling for the facade of another election and new president.  This is probably not the fascist neocon&#039;s plan for this country (PNAC).  Call me a naysayer but I don&#039;t believe there will be a presidential election.  The people are being lulled into believing that soon we will be free from the shackles of Bush Fascism but is that really the plan??  After all, these con artists have much at stake here.  These thugs have big plans in store for us well in advance of November 08.  Think epitome of evil.  Think diabolical nightmare - and then we may be getting warmer.  This country cannot endure another 12 months of this maniac running things.  If congress doesn&#039;t bring impeachment soon, there may be nothing left worth saving. Bush has ruined the economy of this country and set us on a course of self-destruction.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not going to happen.  Bush is just trying to intimidate the blogosphere. I guess these bloggers were more influential than the right-wing thought. It was their blind spot and still is. Anything the neo-cons  want to know is right there in blogosphere print anyway, so where&#039;s the secrecy? Again,  Free speech win out  and  Bush is leaving office so so it&#039;s just sour grapes.  This will end up in court at the very least.</description>

You seemed to have forgotten he&#039;s had his eyes on the Social Security fund for quite some time. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to hear him announce the liquidation of the fund is necessary to keep the country from sliding into a recession  As Spock in said Wrath of Kahn...&quot;the good of the many outweighs the good of the few&quot;... many being the country as a whole the few being the baby-boomers.</description>

		<description>Will this nightmare ever end? November is much too far away (or Jan. &#039;09 to be more precise). Something has to be done NOW. I thought that&#039;s why we voted a Democratic majority into Congress, but they refuse to wake up.</description>

		<description>Spy In Chief attempting to destroy the last shred of democracy on his way out.  Or is he really going out?  This doesn&#039;t sound like a president planning to exit stage left any time soon.  With Medicaid and Medicare about to implode, the little man behind the curtain wants more spy devices.  If we don&#039;t impeach this maniac, then we have no one to blame but ourselves for permitting his maniacal spree.</description>

		<description>WTF.  He doesn&#039;t have enough money to fully fund the programs we need like the FDA other government agencies, but he has 6 BILLION dollars he wants to spend on this program?  Besides, it is nothing more than a thinly veiled way of spying on all our corproations in addition to all the citizens in this country.  This presidency is a run-away train wreck.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The presidentâ€™s budget wants to go much further. It moves beyond telcos and allocates $6 billion for a secretive system that is designed to protect government and private computer systems from attack. According to the Wall Street Journal, the White House proposal â€œwould likely require the government to install sensors on private, company networks.â€&lt;/i&gt;

Why do I keep thinking&quot;key escrow&quot; and &quot;Clipper chip&quot;?

Yes, they&#039;ll put in boxes to alert you to a cyber-attack ... and more too!  Now watch my hand....

Cheers,</description>
