QUOTE WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to renew the USA Patriot Act, after months of pitched debate over legislation that supporters said struck a better balance between privacy rights and the government's power to hunt down terrorists.
The 89-10 vote marked a bright spot in President Bush's troubled second term as his approval ratings dipped over the war in Iraq and his administration's response to Hurricane Katrina. Renewing the act, congressional Republicans said, was key to preventing more terror attacks in the United States. --------------------  |

QUOTE (Lancifer @ Mar 2 2006, 07:42 PM) they're only against it when it's helpful for their ratings and career There seems to be alot of this going around. I think the DPWorld "scandal" is the same thing ... play the xenophobia card as an effort to win back a couple pieces of that massive red mass stretching from Florida to Montana. Besides, hating everything President Bush does is basically necessary in an election year. |
