glad to know that the obama camp is so quick to resort to personal attacks. way to prove that you're part of the party of politics of personal destruction!
"If you aren't willing to give up your civil liberties you must be a terrorist!"
Well, the UK has gave up tons of theirs and don't appear to be immune to terrorist attacks either, as seen from the London train bombings a while back. See what good those cameras did them.
A vote for any Republican, is a vote for more of the quaking in our boots cowardice that we've seen for the last seven years. OOh, some bad guy might do something to me, sometime, somewhere. Oh, please take my rights and keep itty-bitty me all nice and safe.
Go on, find yourself a rock and hide. I live in America.
I hate how some Americans say "If you don't agree with my point of view, then you're unpatriotic/for the terrorists". Bush has often described how the entire Democratic party is somehow un-American. I'm glad that, with the exception of Romney's 'pulling out' speech, these kinds of tactics have been absent from the presidential race. It cheapens the political dialogue; where can you go, exactly, from saying someone is in league with terrorists?
Quite simply, he is not a Terrorist, but a Socialist/Communist. I think he's a decent person, but he is what he is. But thankfully this is a not a vote for high school president, right, or the most popular person would win..........which would be scary, because we could end up with a Communist as President. Not that I like the alternative, but McCain is what a Democrat used to be. So this coming election we have a Democrat (if it's McCain) or a Communist (both Hillary and Barak are Communists, so does it matter which one makes it?).
I am glad someone brought up the UK.. They are socialists trying to appease the criminals and Terrorists (they are JUST LIKE the Democratic Party in what they want to do to this Country). The Brits have banned KNIVES for heaven sake! They had a knife amnesty...people turning in the last weapon of defense they were allowed to have. That Country is in Great trouble. Now, we have some socialist states right here in the USA, like NJ. But we should see NJ as an example of how bad it will get.
And addressing the core argument here on this article: Correct me if I am wrong, but while reading the Constitution, I just cannot seem to find the Right to Privacy anywhere (and yes, I have read the Amendments too). Can someone help me find that? Thanks!

I'm no supporter of Obama at all. In fact, I'm a conservative. But you're making people like me look like jackasses. People read your crap and think that's how we all think. Some of us have real reasons to not vote for him, not your stupid hate-filled bullshit.
Wow Matt, you make a horrendous mis-characterization and then you seem to overreact and are surprised when others respond in kind. You are a douche-bag. As for your comment, some of us are living in America where privacy is a right. This bill violates my rights and my ability to DEFEND them. Feel free to stick your head back in the sand and buy into the fear mongering that has convinced you to give up your rights in the name of freedom.
Matt, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt that you meant "a vote for a Democrat candidate is a vote for the terrorists." I'd respect your opinion. Now, if you're emphasizing that people should not vote for Mr Obama because of his name, then you're an idiot. We're fortunate to live in a country that can look over the bs and nonsense. A name doesn't make you a better or worse individual. Yes, there are people that are running for office and are riding on a family name; Clinton, Kennedy, and Bush. But, to condemn Mr Obama because of his Middle-East rooted name is simply nonsense. Wake up sir.
Well, by your loose and vague from-the-hip definition I guess Hillary and Barack may possibly be viewed as communist, although there's a huge difference between a communist and a socialist which I'm sure you're not interested in.
However tenuous their labeling as communists may be, there is frighteningly more correlation between our current (and mostly likely future McCain-led) administration and the ideology defined on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism. In fact, there is virtually no characteristic listed that doesn't apply to some degree to the state of our nation over the last seven years. I say give me national health care and the evils of a "classless" society over anything listed on that page.
@Walter- I think the 3rd, 4th and 5th amendments make it pretty clear. There is also this little thing about Liberty in the Constitution, which I believe refers to individual sovereignty, which I would imagine includes being able to keep things private. Is it explicitly said? No, but it seems clear to me given the reason this country was founded that your ability to keep things to those you deem need to know was a significant part of the plan.
Beyond that your view of America, and the world for that matter, is twisted. Since when was social consciousness equal to socialism? The UK are socialists? You would have had a little more weight in your argument if you had pointed to MA instead of NJ as a socialist state, at least they have universal healthcare which I'm sure scares you. I don't think it's socialism to think everyone should get paid a fair wage, or that it is wrong for someone to loose their home because they get sick, or their job gets outsourced or cut, I'd call that being a decent human being. There was a time the American motto was United We Stand Divided We Fall, I guess now it's Me, Myself and I.
Hey, guys. If the Republicans (or Clintons) win again, I hear the immigration process for Americans moving to Canada is relatively painless. There's plenty of room up here for people who still believe in liberty over safety, in the true north strong and free. (emphasis on "free")
Liam...isnt it sad and scary. Patriotism has a better ring to it than "blind nationalism", don't you think? I think it was Robin Williams that made the joke about the American government getting the idea for "Homeland" from the 3rd Reich's "Fatherland".
Actually, "Homeland" is an almost verbatim translation of "Heimatland", which--while not Nazi per se--was certainly in rigorous use during that period. In a non-political context it's still OK to use in German, but politically it definitely has uncomfortable "Fatherland" connotations, and thus I find the choice of "Homeland" very strange and somewhat disturbing.
It's the Fourth Amendment, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." that IS the right to privacy. That's what privacy MEANS. By "secure," that means private. By "searches," that means monitoring. What part of this is so difficult to understand?
The REAL question is, why the heck are you so much in a hurry for the American government to take away YOUR right to having private conversations with your friends and families, and business dealings?
How did this dipshit get first comment. Disgusting. And in case there are still people stupid enough out there not realize this by now, Barrack Obama is a Christian.
@mark " a vote for a republican is a vote to be a coward in your boots or whatever blablabla" last time i checked it was the democrats that want to cut and run in COWARDESS they dont like to fight cause they have vaginas where their penis is spose to go, half of them are even voting for a vagina for president! lol you dont have to wait for hillary to get into office to cut your penis off if thats what your into. Or obama lol even better they asked a focus group last night what accomplishments obama has and the first woman said uhhh he go into the senate the second woman said uhh skip! the 3rd guy said uhhh hes had a really good speach about then he got cut off by the interveiwer who reminded everyone a speech is NOT a acomplishment the 4th guy said uhhh hes black and last time i checked being black wasnt exactly an acomplishment HA! it might be an acomplishment for blacks to have a black get this far but its deffinatly not an acomplishment. I'm not a racist but I also like not wanting to cut my penis off by voting for a lesbian ok ill put it this way diffrent countries compete against eachother economically even goto war with eachother lets compare countries to teams you want your team to win you vote for your team just like RECORD numbers of blacks have been coming out to vote for obama in the primaries regardless of they agree or even know what his polictical views are it should be the same way for Whites your on the White team and you should not vote for the other team as they wouldnt vote for yours.

Go on, find yourself a rock and hide. I live in America.
right. as we all know, terrorists plan their terroristic activities outside, in broad daylight, in full view of CCTV cameras.
last time I checked, public cameras are a lot different then concentrated wiretaps on foreign nationals and those suspected to be terrorists...
I hate how some Americans say "If you don't agree with my point of view, then you're unpatriotic/for the terrorists". Bush has often described how the entire Democratic party is somehow un-American. I'm glad that, with the exception of Romney's 'pulling out' speech, these kinds of tactics have been absent from the presidential race.
