Americans love domestic spying (not)

Notwithstanding the "liberal" main stream media's oozing about how much the NSA spying story is hurting Democrats and how the public just loves this spying stuff (because they polled 51 - 46 in favor of the president's spying), John Avarosis at Americablog points out the next question in that very same poll:

Do you think that the Bush administration should conduct wiretaps of American citizens who are suspected of having ties to terrorists without a court order, or do you think that the Bush administration should be required to get a court order before conducting these wiretaps?

Should be able to wiretap without court order ......................... 41
Should be required to get a court order before wiretapping .... 53
Depends (VOL).......................................................... 4
Not sure............................................................... 2

Not quite overwhelming support for Bush, I would say. But, instead of pounding on this issue, as they should, the Dems are steering clear of it for fear it will backfire on them. If they let this continue, it will. The Thuglicans will pass a law that only card carrying Thuglicans can vote.
