Tell that to Bob Barr, Pat Buhcanon and Joe Scarboy. They have chosen this time to rip into the President over different issues. The Patriot act(Bob) the war(Pat)the economy(Joe) All have books to sell and all attack the President. I see a pattern here and I do not like it.
I'm not an expert on the Patriot Act, so I'm not going to make any blanket statements. I will say that the next time we get a guy like Clinton or his wife in there, I do believe the Patriot Act will be abused.
As for Pat, I like the guy but he's just brain dead when it comes to the middle-east. Terrorism will not go away on it's own. It will continue until we terminate anyone willing to carry it out.
As for Joe, I liked him when he was in office, but I've never thought him to be capable of playing in the deep end of the pool.
