15. I Thought Databases of emails and phonecalls and their possible abuse WAS the topic of the OP
Edited on Tue Jul-31-07 11:17 PM by AndyTiedye
My theory is that some of this material is being used for blackmail purposes.
Whether or not you agree with that theory, it is on-topic.
I think the "backing down" behavior that many have commented on here may be connected to this.

It is not "bashing Dems" either. As I said, I think most of it is being directed by Repiglickins at Repiglickins.
Repigs like Arlen Specter who occasionally waxes critical of the Bush** regime, but always comes home when the votes are being counted.
I think blackmail may be the only way they can keep the Repiglickin rank and file backing such unpopular policies.
The same could be true for a Democrat or two.
