Would you like to see the Patriot Act made permanent?

I will trust the judgements of GW Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft, Rice and Ridge over the likes of the New York Times editorial board, Adam Clymer, Maureen Dowd, RW Apple, and Paul Krugman( and to add), the ACLU, Libertarians, Phyliss Schafley, and other rightwing permanantly malcontet groups.

You're such a good lapdog.

Fair enough. Just realize that most conservatives do not "trust" the government as fully as yourself.

The Constitution is based on the concept of NOT fully trusting ANYONE in power. That's why putting sunset provisions in the Patriot Act was a good idea - after four years, we can re-visit the act and see which provisions actually did anything to fight terrorism and which ones didn't, and which ones were abused and which ones were benign.

Also realize that if you choose to trust GW, Ashcroft on this now, you will have to trust Democratic administrations in the future. See?

I always say we have to keep the republicans feet to the fire.......

You're answer proves me right on that.... LOL

Ever hear of the constitution, The Bill Of rights or are they meaningless now? You know this kind of stuff is what I feared from Gore and Clinton and the rats, not from Republicans.

Heck we own the Senate and the Republicans can't even get a Judge confirmed there. Maybe its a good thing and I need to switch my thoughts about it. (Maybe)
