Twenty-six Republicans voted with 122 Democrats to oppose the measure, while 67 Democrats voted with 210 Republicans to back it.
These 26 are obviously way smarter and more CONSERVATIVE than the TWO HUNDRED TEN GOP members that voted to FIGHT THE RAGHEADS.
This is actually a HUGE VICTORY FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN AND HIS COMRADES ABROAD AND IN THE US.
Watch your neck, Turkey.
Tell me what terrorist has been caught by the Patriot Act.
Not huge. The provisions would not and did not stop terrorism. They did contribute to false positives (wasted resources spent tracking the wrong people). The real fight against terrorism comes from actions overseas (which are not affected by this vote) and core values at home.
Believe it or not I don’t worry about terrorist killing me as that is way down on the list of bad things that could ruin my day. It is much more likely that I will be the victim of a crime or killed in a traffic accident. The patriot act wasn’t about “fighting the ragheads” it was more about grabbing more power for the state which is why the RATS were screaming about it when GW was President but suddenly OK with it when O became President. They recognized what was a raw grab for power much better than your average conservative.
Tell me, do you enjoy being virtually stripped searched at the airport (and threatened with arrest and civil fines if you refuse)? Do you like having the feds snoop into your life electronically for any reason? If you do then you’re not a conservative, you’re just another comrade waving your red flag for the all powerful state. I’d rather be the turkey!
Oh horse-feces. Obi and his AQ minions have been laughing themselves silly at our kneejerk reactions to their operations. Remember the recent ink cartridge operation out of Yemen. It cost them approximately $4200 (including shipping), it cost us a lot more after. We have lost our liberties due to the likes of the Patriot Act, and OBL knows it.

Thank you, I agree.

Homeland Security decided to expand what constitutes a terrorist beyond Islamic terrorism. They are creating a KGB spying operation on Americans - not just Islamists. Crime is now called terrorism.
When they started randomly sexually molesting obviously innocent people at the airports, and the handicapped (the old lady with the pacemaker setting off the metal detector) that was it for me. I don’t want to live in a prison Nation.
While they are classifing Americans they don’t like - conservatives - as domestic terrorists, they have the border wide open knowing Islamic terrorists are crossing the borders and knowing that they have access to nuclear material and biological weapons.
Our President hosts the Muslim Brotherhood at White House events and has hired some into the Executive Branch. The MB is responsible for creating all these terrorist groups we supposedly being protected from. And what about Fort Hood? Political correctness protected a murderous jihadist everyone knew was dangerous RIGHT IN THE ARMY. Homeland security is not focused on Islamic terrorism nor is our government committed to protecting us from Islam.
Our government is too stupid (Republican influence) and evil (Democrat influence) to be trusted with that power. They turned it against Americans in the name of fighting Islam. We gave it a try, trusting the government to not abuse us with the power of the Patriot Act. That trust was totally violated.
