Wiretapping overseas phone calls is not illegal. It was also done during the Clinton Administration.

No. But they felt like leaving and that's what really counts.

Feelings.

As in "you and all of your conservative friends don't have any".

This is so ridiculous it's just friggin hilarious.

Let me get this straight - by your (kool-aid induced?) "logic":

If someone feels like going to work, but they do not, it only matters that they felt like going?

Conversely, if someone feels like breaking the law, but they do not, it only matters that they felt like doing it?

Orwell, can you hear me? (cue crickets chirping)

As for your last lame attempt up there at what I assume was supposed to be a verbal jab, let me say this: Conservatives do have feelings, I want you all to know. We just don't have as much time for them. You see, plotting an evil takeover of the entire world takes a lot of time and planning. Granted, it is a vast conspiracy and all, you got us there. But still, these things take time.

The truth is the left needs to toughen up and grow a collective pair of b*#@s. Ironic that the only pair, on anyone in my former party, just happen to be attached to a woman - one Senator Hillary Clinton.

Right!

And as uber-feeling DNC pres Howie Dean said it best....Democrats CARE that children go to bed hungry!

Cue a chorus of FEELINGS and let's all hold hands and admire a picture of Barry Obama savior of humankind and his wife, SHE WHO CAN'T BE MENTIONED.

Nope. Sarcasm. Nobody's THAT whacked out. But then again....

he wants to raise taxes while lowering revenue. is he retarded?

Obama wants to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Most of us would not see tax increases...And I've never seen anything where Obama says he wants to lower revenue. Oh, some of his policies could potentially result in lower revenues, but why would anybody want lower revenues?

And lastly, I can't tell you why, but Democrats have usually been better for the stock market.

roll back? is that like the re-deployment? he wants to scrap the tax cuts that effect 1/3 of americans. doesn't sound like the top 2% to me. watch the video. this is from a debate. it's not a conspiracy.
