“if elected president, senator john mccain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against americans…”

mccain: i’d spy on americans secretly, too

barack obama was in casper, wyoming, today at a town hall meeting. obama condemned the use of the bush’s administration habit of getting wiretaps without warrants and also their willingness to imprison people without actually charging them with anything.

“there’s nothing republican about that. everyone should be outraged…”

obama said that he would ask his attorney general “to review every executive order” that the bush administration implemented.

“we are going to overturn those that are unconstitutional. we are going to overturn those that are unnecessary.”

he was rewarded for that with a standing ovation.

…like the nsa headquarters.

thanks to the billboard liberation front!

“i see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.”

thanks to bob plankers, “the lone sysadmin” for this:
