Do you honestly believe that only conservative Republicans will be in control of the Presidency and/or Congress for the next fifty years?

Remember, it's a direct question. Yes or no. No tapdancing around the issue allowed

I have no idea, if I could predict the future, like you think you can, I would be earning a billion dollars a year predicting the weather, but that will not stop me from trying to convince purists like you not to waste their vote in "protest" on a third party candidate who helps a candidate of bad character become President.

Remember character can actually matter again.

If Ari ever gets stressed out and quits, you should consider submitting your resume.

Most readers of this thread haven't forgotten that the topic is the constitutionality of the Patriot Act, not how much your like George Bush.

If a bill with the exact same wording came up and we had a Democrat president and congress, would you support it?

I didn't say "will it happen", I said, "do you believe it will happen". Do you honestly not know what you think?

Your entire argument here is that the people in control RIGHT NOW would never abuse the power given to them by this Act. By doing so, you are admitting that the powers can be abused, but as long as "people of character" are in our government, it won't happen.

So let's do it again:

Do you honestly believe that only conservative Republicans will be in control of the Presidency and/or Congress for the next fifty years?

And we'll add another one:

Do you believe that the Act in question could be abused by less-than-honorable politicians?

Remember, I'm not asking you to predict the future. I'm asking for your personal opinion, yes or no, without the ridiculous snide comments and "let me just repeat the same thing over and over and over again until people just stop paying attention to me" tactics that you've used time and time again on this forum.
