So how come we have to be consistant, and they don't?

Because "they" have the New York Times, The Wash. Post, NBCABCCBSCNNMSNBC, and, um, Billary Clinton?

Warrantless searches with the primary purpose of collecting foreign intelligence are proper. See analysis from the Natl Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers! at my site.

You need to give us something harder.

When you leak classified information in order to, for example, exact political revenge, that's bad.

When you leak classified information in order to, for example, expose a felony, that's good.

But don't take it from me. Take it from a fellow Republican.

"If I thought someone was breaking the law, I don't care if it was classified or unclassified, I would stand up and say 'the law's being broken here.' "

     - Republican Sen. John McCain

And just to be clear here, Bush appears to have ignored the 4th Amendment. I thought conservatives were the ones hell-bent on law and order? The ones with a woody for the Constitution. Where's your moral outrage?

If Clinton had done this, wooo. Y'all would be foaming and chomping at the bit. You'd be calling him "Dear Leader." And rightfully so. But ...you're silent. Real silent. Hell, your silence is deafening.

Know what it tells me? It tells me that people who talk about responsible goverment, accountability, values, ...it's all just bullsh*t. They don't actually mean it. It's just a stick to weild. Good to whack around a liberal with but when it comes to a conservative?

Ah, not so much.

But wait, I have more quotes by a couple
of conservatives with their ethics screwed on tight.

"I think if we're going to be intellectually honest here, this really is the kind of thing that Alexander Hamilton was referring to when impeachment was discussed."

     - Norman Ornstein, scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute

"The fact is, the federal law is perfectly clear. At the heart of this operation was a federal crime. The president has already conceded that he personally ordered that crime and renewed that order at least 30 times. This would clearly satisfy the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors for the purpose of an impeachment."

     - Jonathan Turley, a professor at the George Washington University School of Law. Turley testified to congress in favor of Clinton's impeachment.

"President Bush presents a clear and present danger to the rule of law. He cannot be trusted to conduct the war against global terrorism with a decent respect for civil liberties and checks against executive abuses. Congress should swiftly enact a code that would require Mr. Bush to obtain legislative consent for every counterterrorism measure that would materially impair individual freedoms."

     - Bruce Fein, a former associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan.

What's amusing is watching conservatives huff and puff about semen on a dress but if you do more discretionary spending than any president in history, no problem. If you torture people, no problem. If you go to war, blow $200bn (so far) and get 2,000+ troops killed over something that didn't exist, something that your party said there was "no doubt" about, no problem.

Warrant, shmarrant.

Oh, but hey! Speaking of ethical consistency...

Cunningham. Ney. DeLay. Abramoff. Rowland. Libby. Rove. Safavian. Hastert.

The list is long.

So perhaps before you grouse about consistency, it might be a good idea to clean up your own house first. =)

PS: Y'all had better hope that Dems don't retake Congress next year. Bush just might become more ignominious than he already is.

You need to give us something harder.
