"Paranoia Strikes Deep...
...Into your house it will creep."0 comments
(Apologies to Stephan Stills, For What Its Worth)
New Rassmussen Reports numbers:
16% Think They've Been Wiretapped
Along with 18% of all Americans who aren't sure.
That's 34% of Americans who believe there is at least an outside chance that their own government may have spied on them. This should have been an embarrassing-to-even-ask, lame, "slam-dunk" question.
Instead, it shows further deterioration in the credibility of this administration, and in its moral ability to lead.
34% of all Americans can conceive of the possibility of their government doing things a totalitarian regime does.
Those numbers include 12% of Conservatives—so you can see this has totally gotten out of hand for the White House.
America just simpy doesn't trust George W. Bush anymore.
Period.
So, the next time you call down to the local grocery to have them deliver something, or you give your spouse a quick call to say, "Hi!", remember to give a special shoutout to those hardworking guys and gals down at the NSA who are just trying to make a buck, writing down everything you say, then passing it on to that Vice President—y'know, the one who carries that gun...shoots seniors...
