President Wants Wiretap Hearings So He Can Publically Accuse Dems of Being 'Unpatriotic'

George Bush wants hearings on domestic spying. He's inviting Democrats to another round of self-immolation. In 2002, the Republican Party used the debate over the Department of Homeland Security to attack Democrats in the off-year election by arguing the party was soft on terror. The president and his aides hope the NSA hearings will offer the same opportunity in 2006. [Arrogant arse...but damn...it probably will work again. The democrats have utterly failed at selling the real threats to democracy, civil rights, and civil liberties.]
