Please, give me a break! Plain old slamming; the democrats are stooping really low, as usual. Since they can't compete, they fall into the gutter.

Thanks to modern technology they didn't even have to pick any locks. I guess you couldn't call this breaking and entering could you? They are saying that it wasn't even hacking.
send us another Watergate. We are going to try everything we can do to set it up for you too! (could you avoid noticing our attacks on your works in our country's courthouses?) Lord, we are so much better than those evil Republicans (even if many do support your positions) so we demand you give us a Watergate to scream about again, to work to our advantage. And Lord, please strike that Rush Limbaugh for his drug usage, but overlook our dear Senator Kennedy and his past history and the death of, uh..what was her name? Lord if you will bless our underhanded methods we will pay even more attention to you through our ACLU which concerns itself so greatly with matters of religious expression in our nation. In closing Lord, remember, we believe in policies that entrench the poor in poverty and we know how you feel toward the poor, so remember, we are doing all we can for you, AMEN."
My new bumper stickers arrived today. One reads:
"Ted Kennedy's cars have killed more people than my guns!"
The other reads:
"Guns kill people like SPOONS made Rosie O'Donnell FAT!"
KP, that is the most morally bankrupt post I've seen on here since the thread trying to justify slavery as being morally permissible because it was legal at the time. I guess by the "logic" in your post, you wouldn't mind someone walking in, taking you and your family hostage, and cleaning out your house if your kid forgot to lock the door? It certainly wouldn't be the thieves' fault, right?
In this case, there were passwords, but the authorization check in the program was broken.

I noted some of the following:
'(Republicans) said that in the summer of 2002, their computer technician informed his Democratic counterpart of the glitch, but Democrats did nothing to fix the problem.'
'Other revelations from the memos include Democrats' race-based characterization of Estrada as "especially dangerous, because . . . he is Latino," which they feared would make him difficult to block from a later promotion to the Supreme Court.'
'And, at the request of the NAACP, the Democrats delayed any hearings for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals until after it heard a landmark affirmative action case -- though a memo noted that staffers "are a little concerned about the propriety of scheduling hearings based on the resolution of a particular case."'
...and so on.

Where is your outrage at what was revealed? Where is your outrage at what the Democrats deliberately did to good people to win their power games? Where is your outrage at the technical incompetence and malfeasance?
Frankly, I think it is a good thing that this sleaze was exposed. It shows both the depth of the depravity, and the sheer incompetence in the Democrat party. These people want to control the government and they can't even secure their own documents? They devise sleazy schemes and then describe them in email? I shudder to think what would happen if they had access to national security information.
'The computer glitch dates to 2001, when Democrats took control of the Senate after the defection from the GOP of Senator Jim Jeffords, Independent of Vermont.
A technician hired by the new judiciary chairman, Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, apparently made a mistake that allowed anyone to access newly created accounts on a Judiciary Committee server shared by both parties -- even though the accounts were supposed to restrict access only to those with the right password'
That's kind of like leaving money laying around and then condemning domestic help if they steal it. BTW, can you point me to the thread where I said slavery was moral? I don't recall saying that EVER.
I'm referring to cases in Africa where Europeans created did this kind of temptation, and the desperately poor black servants were punished for yielding to the temptation.
If Dean were still the frontrunner, maybe. But the race seems to be taking focus and the voters appear to be using their heads. Kerry is far more likely to give Bush a run for his money (literally and figuratively) than Dean. Don't be surprised to see a Kerry/Edwards ticket in November.
You'll find that the GOP was neither hacker nor thief. The material was left out in the open for all to see, and it was put there by the Dems.
And you shouldn't be sued, or liable in any other way. It's your car and if you want to leave your keys in it, that's your business. The car thief is still a car thief.
Personal integrity should be a demand in law with some limited exceptions.
with foetus == parasite. Helped along with your support of partial birth abortion.
Accounts have it that the Democrat's were made aware of the problem in 2002 but apparen;y couldn't get someone else to fix their problem for them so they ignored it.
By the way, where did you see that "In this case there were passwords..." I didn't and I didn't skim the article. The only password mentioned was the user password, NOT file encryption or passwords.
Hi, Ed.
You've crossed theline with your post, but I'll leave it up. I did NOT say that Kp was morally bankrupt -- I said that his POSITION is morally bankrupt, and it is. And much as you may not like it, a fetus does indeed fit the exact scientific definition of a parasite. Parasites can be beautiful and much admired -- lok at the orchid. But when it comes to a choice between the life of the host and the life of the parasite, there's only one correct answer.

the same should make you feel better.
You have been pointed REPEATEDLY to the scientific definitions or parasite and a foetus does NOT meet the definition.
Feel better knowing that your position on foetus == parasite is the epitome of moral bankruptcy? YOU aren't, just YOUR POSITION!
I just realized what this means:
'A technician hired by the new judiciary chairman, Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, apparently made a mistake that allowed anyone to access newly created accounts on a Judiciary Committee server shared by both parties'
from your own Boston.com link. It sounds like the Republicans could suddenly see new files and/or directories when opening documents. If you see a new document on your system, it is quite natural to open it to see what it is. In other words, The Dems made it an open system which was NOT password protected, as I originally said.
Leaving a letter laying on a table in the coffee room at work for all to see is in no way comparable to a thief coming into your house.
Now, what the Dems want us to think is that they were too stupid to figure this out. Why is there no investigation of what Democrat staffers looked at in Republican files? Is this the old switcharoo? Blame the Republicans for what the Dems were also doing. After all, it was the Dems' technician that opened this back door. Or, are the Dems simply as stupid as they look?
