The Patriot Act is needed to prevent the leftist democrats from blocking and thwarting Bushs policies in regard to the WOT. Look how many voted against it. That says a lot about whos side they are on. Almost 5 years without an attack on our soil just doesn't sit well with democrats. It makes Bush look good and they can't have that continue.

In other words, wartime demands that we suspend our system of checks and balances and concentrate power in the executive branch. Exactly what our Founding Fathers envisioned.

Indeed it does. The right side.

It's all a popularity contest for you partisan hacks isn't it? For conservatives Bush has never looked all that good and a push for this legislation isn't helping his image any.
