Republican are claiming that the Patriot Act has helped stop terrorist attacks. I am pretty sure they are lying about this issues; however, can anyone give any example of how the Patriot Act has stopped a terrorist attack.

Republicans never lie. Only Democrats lie, mostly about sex, but other things as well.
Has your town been bombed? I thought not. See? The "Patriot" Act is working!
