Traitors scramble to make PATRIOT Act permanent, as sunset date nears

[rambone]

Congressmen on both sides of the aisle are trying to extend the PATRIOT Act and make some aspects of it permanent. The sunset date happens in 3 weeks and they proposing an extension bill, as well as discouraging people from debating it.

“Having this debate year after year offers little certainty to agents utilizing these provisions to keep the nation safe,” said ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Oh I just loved to throw this in the face of Obama nut huggers the first time the Dems extended it after the election.

Good times... Looks like I get to do it again.

What's Obama got to do with it? This was Georgie's deal.

they all play on the same team. they just want us to believe they are on different sides. government can never be the protector of our freedoms. thats for sure. thats why we have the 2nd amendment.

 

[navarre1095]

They do appear to be two ends of the same beastie.

it seems like american politics is turning into quite the Hydra...

I wonder what will come when we cut off the current head.

Uncle Bammer could have let it expire on his watch. He didn't, so it's on him.

Now he has a 2nd chance to fix it. He'll be a 2 time loser if this thing re-ups again.

This was Georgie's deal.

You dare smear the good name of George??

I thank God for him every time I check the value of my home or my retirement account.

I do have good news, though...

I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance.

And my retirement gained almost $5K last quarter. First time in several years I gained much of anything.

If one of them doesn't do you...the next one will.

Sorry... I just wanted to express my gratitude for George.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

As much as it would be fun to blame Obama or George, I believe it was Congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan who introduced the legislation to extend it...

Not that another Congressman would not quickly fill his shoes if he did not, I just figured that if we are going to point fingers it might as well be in the correct direction.

 

[ATOMonkey]

Respectfully, the guy who signs the legislation is the one responsible for it.

That is fair.

I just think credit can be spread around on this one, since we voted all the people into office that voted "I" on this bill.

Well, or someone did LOL

 

[ATOMonkey]

Indeed, there is more than enough blame to go around.
