Newt say's if you make "normal" phone calls you don't have

[zoeb]

any worries. Do we really want phone companies and Newt deciding what's "normal?"
Meet the Press is so informative. :rofl:

1. This kind of shit is the next step to abandoning the Constitution

Be afraid of the bearded man and trust the government to protect you. Of course, the cost of protecting you will be the rights you wanted protected in the first place.

[zoeb]

7. Most constitutional scholars would agree

"one step away from a dictatorship." I don't recall who said that now but it's still scary.

[still_one]

2. I don't know newt, are your 1-900 phone calls normal

or you supplying divorce papers to your wife in the hospital when she had cancer normal

how many times have you cheated on your wife you POS

[Cassandra]

6. That should be...

how many times have you cheated on your wives you POS

[NI4NI]

16. I bet he believes O'Reiley's phone calls are "normal"

[zann725]

3. What would Newt (or other Repugs) know about "normal?" Sex at poker games

at Watergate, perhaps? Or Gannon buddies, or Abramoff pay-offs?

If we are judged by "normal" Repug behavior, we could do and talk about every white-collar crime in the book, then some...and usually be "pardoned" somewhere down the line.

[Festivito]

4. I may make normal phone calls, but ...

Am I to trust incorruptibility of listeners
. to the companies where I invest?
. How about the phone calls of the politicians I trust who campaign again?

How about the companies that would use my phone calls as indication of illness they could avoid to cover?

That would be a normal call.

That would be a worry.

..Make your searches WARRANTED..

5. Who decides what's normal ?

The republicans ???
I don't think so.

get a warrant assholes.

[wakeme2008]

8. So Newt you would have NO problem with President Hillary having your

phone records.... Right :evilgrin:

[OzarkDem]

9. Newt was full of hot air this morning

Spinning in the wind, he was changing positions constantly trying to defend his party.

[anitar1]

10. Phuck Newt. Miserable excuse for a human being .n/t

[wanpete]

11. Therein lies the central issue to this case. I don't want ANYONE

deciding if my phone calls are "normal". Somehow, if the gov has a beef with me about something, my so-called "normal" calls may become "abnormal". That's scary folks. We're heading to a place we absolutely don't want to go.

[Tom Rinaldo]

12. And "Normal Americans" shouldn't worry 'bout Presidential "Enemies Lists"

Right? But that was a different century. We can trust THIS President.

[tsuki]

13. What's normal? Is that like calling your wife when she is visiting

your mother to tell her that you want a divorce just after she's told you she has MS?

Newt - :puke:

[Spaceman Spiff]

14. I don't care

how they sugarcoat this shit! I don't think it's anybody's business how often I call 1-900-SPANK ME!!

[newyawker99]

23. Hi Spaceman Spiff!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[riona]

15. We all do "normal" things

but it doesn't mean we want an audience watching or listening.

[MrBenchley]

17. When Newt's own phone call got intercepted he screeched in rage

like a scalded parrot....

"Two days later the contents of the tape were on the front page of the "New York Times." The tape potentially could cause problems for Newt Gingrich, who had made a deal with the Ethics Committee not to orchestrate a response to its charges. But the tape might cause problems for McDermott as well because federal law prohibits intentionally intercepting telephone calls or intentionally disclosing their contents. Late this afternoon McDermott announced he will recuse himself from any further work on the Gingrich ethics matter. As for the Martins, they too could be prosecuted for their actions. "

18. lol...I had completely forgot about that incident

He of all people should be anti-NSA phone spying. I'm guessing that's his idea of a "normal" phone call.

[MrBenchley]

21. Yup...he should be proud to share it with us

LOL!

[IndianaGreen]

19. so much for Bill O'Reilly and his phone sex

what a dope!

[Fleshdancer]

20. well then he can release his phone records....

to show us what "normal" looks like. Asshole.

[baldguy]

22. If I make "normal" phone calls, then there's no reason to spy on me.

Are 70 million Americans really terrorists?

[politicat]

24. So... My sister & I can't about our granny disposal fantasies?

(Our granny is one of the most irritating people on the planet. I'd have to think REALLY hard about which would be worse -- a road trip with Dumbya or a road trip with Granny.)

We love her, but damn if that woman couldn't get on ANYONE'S nerves. I think Jesus would have been tempted to slap the shit out of her.
