That depends.. you can't be arrested for an opinion.. I'm sure they could hound you and try to find something but come on.. the gov't doesn't have anything better to do? They'd wiretap an angry voter over an actual danger? That would be a crappy gov't and I'd hope that wouldn't happen. I know that most of you dislike Bush but I doubt he'd stoop that low.. That just sounds like something a book or movie would be written about.. a little too conspiracy theorist for me.
