Fox news reporting the Senate has agreed to extend the Patriot Act for six month.
Renewal will come up right at the start of the 2006 election season, when people will be paying attention to politics again [normal people, not like you or me ;-)].
I don't see much of a downside to this. The Dems will have an opportunity to demonstrate inability to be trusted on national security again, at just the right time.
Glad to see Karl Rove back in action :-) heh heh

I was just about to post that.
Thankfully, no.
Sadly, freedom-loving people are now the exception.
Great minds... then it wasn't my imagination! lol
I read some of your posts to try to understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately it just disturbed me more.
Because it would be my preference to not go anywhere without it. Why do you ask?
Except, a number of these RINO's come from conservative leaning states.
Explain Chuck Hagel from Nebraska and Lindsey Graham from South Carolina. Nebraska actually has a better Senator in the Dem counterpart, in Nelson. Though some of that can be laid at his feet in realizing how conservative a state he represents and wanting to keep his job in '06. Then there is DeWine. Ohio may not be "conservative" necessarily, but it's conservative enough to prefer G.W.B. over Kerry. It's conservative enough to be making Blackwell the front runner for Governor, and Blackwell is a conservative. There is no excuse for these Senators and many others to behave as they have done. Especially when in DeWine's case it's in large part WHY his chances for re-election are in jeopardy next year. DeWine thinks it's because he's not liberal enough....
As well, Chafee surpasses even the term of a RINO. Chafee is a Democrat. Numbers do not justify his continued presence in the Senate. He needs to be defeated.
I think someone just traded ANWR for 6 months of the Patriot Act.
Not at all....she doesn't help herself by dressing in neon orange either. Sheesh Mary, but a clue w/ that $29 billion.
How about that bitch Murkowski, and John Sununu (R-Saudi Arabia)
His "mistake" vis-a-avis the Barbary Pirates was actually worse than how President Bush has handled the WoT. After all, Jefferson said that NO ransom would be paid, but it was.
Washington used spies during the Revolutionary War and so has every single president since. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution, that prohibits the government from taking LEGAL steps to protect the nation and her people.
Cherry-picked quotes, misapplied, equal lousy/no refutation. It's fascinating watching you attempt to use the words of your betters, while not having any comprehension of what they said, nor what they meant.
Just using your own tactics on you. What's the matter, hypocrite, can't take it? :-)
You may or may not really know what life is said to have been like in 1801, but since you are used to 2005, I know and you know that you would NOT be able to live without the things you take for granted now. No matter what you say, that IS a fact! Elsewise, you'd be living that way right now, on "principle"!
I've given up a lot of time trying to point out what you're advocating giving up.
Maybe she should try the elkfersuper diet. Elk meat is very low in fat and cholesterol.
Who said that?
What happened???
I realize you didn't address me in your post...but with a "sneak and peek" intrusion into one's privacy the individual wouldn't know about it until after the fact. Can you imagine a scenario wherein an abuse such as that could be taken to an extreme?
I thought Stevens was going good, but I think the outcome was pre-engineered by Frisk.
And the funny thing is, it's still not over, because now the House has to come back and pass, or not, the Defense Appropriation and Authorization bills without ANWAR.
A one party and ONLY one party system is what the USSR had. I doubt that that is really what old George had in mind, back then. But the next time you haul out that Ouija board...ask him. :-)
