Reply #125: We sometimes seem so wrapped up in our way of thinking that

we fail to see that others who do not share our views have a right to be heard and their POV considered also. You are correct, IMO. Those people you know who voted for Bush are average citizens- just like you and me. They just see things from a different perspective. That doesn't make them wrong and it doesn't make them enablers of this administration.It makes them Americans. Many in my family voted for Bush- both times- they are disillusioned now, but don't consider this administration to be full of Fascists. I like you, I feel many people aren't ready to see this wiretapping issue for what it truly is. I also see no rush or necessity in having to deal with and re frame this issue right now.Sure we are correct on this-I have no doubt.should it be addressed and Bush held accountable in some fashion, yes. However, it could have waited until after the elections. IMO, waiting would have been wiser. There is bound to be more to come on the misuse of this program and with some new support in the Congress and time to gain public support, we could get more accomplished.
