He seems very upset and bitter at the american people, congress, the iraqis, the maliki government, etc...and you almost expect him to go off the deep end...like he has lost touch with reality. His face looks like a man who is about to have a nervous break down, or go dictator.....

At a University of Florida forum Monday, Andrew Meyer loudly peppered Kerry with questions about impeaching President Bush, why he didn't challenge the 2004 election results and whether he and Bush were members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University.

Police tried to escort him out after he went over his time, and shocked the student after he resisted and yelled, "Don't Tase me, bro!"

"What did I do?" he screamed as he was led from the room.

An officer, however, alleged in a police report that Meyer's "demeanor completely changed once the cameras were not in sight" and that he was "laughing" and "lighthearted" on the way to jail.

Details from Meyer's online writings and videos also raised the question of whether his harangue was genuine.

I am a democrat who leans heavily to the left.

Does anyone really care if the government illegally wire taps phone conversations? I for one could care less! If the government wants to listen to me talking about football or what a buffoon I think Bush is etc, than so be it, I have nothing to hide…If the government stops one terror attack or locks up a drug dealer etc, because of this illegal wire tapping isn't it worth it.

Please do not assume that this would lead to other government controls. This does not mean that the government will , come and read my mail, or take my house etc…"Assumption is the mother of all phuck ups"

Lets think about this.

He reduced intelligence spending!

He never responded appropriately to Saddam and his on going weapons program!

He appointed the head of the CIA at the time of the 2003 invasion! George Tenant who provided the case for war!

Why didn't we see this before? Was this his plan all along?

How can you live in such a stifling political atmosphere?
You cannot protest against the wrong politics. Most of Americans are against the war but they cannot stop it. What is your role in that country?
Is not it better to replace the Statue of Liberty by the statue of Andrew Mayer?
I recommend you come to our country and have meeting about every thing you want without fear, if your media do not propagandize you!

Will all the conservatives then "Stand behind" their president no matter what disastrous policy decision that person makes?
Since it has been explained to the American people over and over that not supporting the president is un American.

Right now, the temporary statute states that eavesdropping can take place if one party is "reasonably believed" (read: not proven beyond doubt) to be outside the U.S. and the other party is American, as long as that American is not the focus of the spying.

But if the conversation involves two people, how is one of them NOT a focus of that surveillance?

And has it occurred to anyone that all the government would have to do to spy on domestic conversations is say, "Oops. We thought this guy was in Canada. Our bad."?

Why can't the government find another way to protect us?

I'm no Obama fan, and I CAN'T STAND Jesse 'Hymie Town' Jackson, but anyone can see that Obama is running based on his political views and ideas and NOT the color of his skin.

If anything, Jesse should learn from Obama and realize that preferring one race over another is exactly what the white people were scrutinized for. So why is it OK for Jesse and Al to do it?

Slavery ended almost 200 years ago and it is time for us to get along and except all ethnicities for what they are.

Jesse Jackson claims he is continuing what MLK Jr. finished, but Obama is the one who is really LIVING King's dream.
