That didn’t take long…
Just two days after the house tried and failed to pass the Patriot Act through with a legislative fast track, they’ve revisited the vote and chosen to renew it once again.
Who voted for the Patriot Act? Well, a whole bunch of Republicans – including the self-proclaimed Tea Party candidates who claim to be concerned about how powerful our government has become. Unfortunately, their concern for political restraint seems to be isolated to raising the necessary taxes for the wars and paranoid security state they insist on supporting.
