"Lobbyist, Prosecutors Said Close to Deal" So there goes some more Republicans. A half a dozen or so, but it could be more. Yes, it looks like the New Year is starting out with a bang. I've said this before.....this is the first year I've seen the holiday season not get 'quiet'; have a respite from major news. BTW did you see that a new tropical storm has formed in the Atlantic? Nature doesn't want to chill either. ted

I'm afraid we are not a very well informed nation.....not very smart either. These numbers will change but I'm afraid it will take considerable education. Americans are like cows.......they pretty much deserve what they get! National Security Agency Survey of 1,000 Adults December 26-27, 2005 December 28, 2005--Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely. Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure. Crosstabs are available for Premium Members. [More Below] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans believe the NSA should be allowed to listen in on conversations between terror suspects and people living in the United States. That view is shared by 51% of Democrats and 57% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
