The Patriot Act
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.

1. Why do we need a Patriot Act? Presidential fiat is all that is necessary
As Mark Shields explained on the Jim Lehrer Newshour. Why go through the motions of a Legislative process - to provide a buffer for a dictatorship?

2. It all depends upon your definition of terrorists.
To the Administration, there are thousands of terrorists right here in America. Wow! There goes one now, right past my front door! Whew! Another. He is right. Spy On! Get em all.

3. Then they need to prove it...
this is not the Stalinist States of America for Christ Sake !!

They need to deliver the contents of Bush's enemies list
to congress, the judiciary and the people - without delay !

Not only does the Bush regime need strict oversight...
they need criminal prosecution

4. Take that back!
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!
