Poll: Most feel civil liberties not harmed by war on terror

Quoting:

While 39 percent of the 1,013 poll respondents said the Bush administration has gone too far, 34 percent said they believe the administration has been about right on the restrictions, according to the Opinion Research Corp. survey. Another 25 percent said the administration has not gone far enough.

Asked whether Bush has more power than any other U.S. president, 65 percent of poll respondents said no. Thirty-three percent said yes. Of those who said yes, a quarter said that was bad for the country.

... what is it going to TAKE for the other six out of ten Americans to open their eyes- nationwide martial law? Abolition of the 2008 election? Imprisonment of critics of the administration? (Never mind that allies of the administration have called for ALL of these steps at one point or another over the past five years...)

Wake up, America. Your civil liberties aren't merely in danger, they're being deliberately destroyed... and the time in which you can reverse the tide is rapidly vanishing...

Yeah, when I saw those numbers on the news this morning, my first reaction was, "Huh, so 60% of the people don't know what habeas corpus is?"

BTW, you gonna team up with the Louisiana Libertarian gubernatorial candidate? :)

Um, probably not. First, we're in different states. Second, I do NOT believe that extremism is EVER a virtue; Goldwater was WRONG.

Well, I was talking more along the lines of a WLP-based teamup. ;) (For anyone watching this who has no idea what I'm talking about, she's gained national attention for her breasts.)

Oh. Loretta Nall is the write-in Libertarian candidate in Alabama, not Louisiana.

Ah, misremembered the state. Sorry about that.
