UPDATE: In the end, only 4 R's voted No on PATRIOT.
Last night’s ballot saw 248 vote in favour of allowing the extension to proceed, while 176 voted against.
Just four Republicans, including Congressman Ron Paul, voted against the extension. On Tuesday 26 Republicans had voted against. The other three Republican nays were Chris Gibson (N.Y.), Raul Labrador (Idaho) and Tom McClintock (Calif.).
Denninger says it all. And there will be more votes...an opportunity for others to cross the lines and vote For extension.
The Washington Establishment is, apparently, capable of warping a significant portion of who we send.
So, if we are to have any chance for victory through the polls, we need to send different people. Do we have the time? Can they get elected? Are there even enough real Patriots who could do the job, much less would be willing?
I am not sanguine any of it matters.
Keep swinging, but know where the Exits are located.

Enemies of Liberty are ruthless. To own your Liberty, you'd better come harder than your enemies..
Its sad when you attack the Patriot Act but cannot be bothered to post any coherent argument against it. Its so DUish of you.
ReplyDeleteAnon:
ReplyDeleteNearly every column and post is a coherent argument against PATRIOT and other intrusions by Government.
But I need only one: The US Constitution.
PATRIOT benefits only the enemies of Liberty, foreign and domestic. The Constitution provides all the tools we need today to ensure that we can live safely in a world of Muslims, and any other group of enemies on the planet.
