Democrats chide Republicans for voting against Patriot Act?

E-mail Print PDF

The current Democratic party is such a joke:

“Governing and leading is a lot more difficult than throwing bombs and campaigning,” Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.)

What does that quote even mean? Another try at making reality fit opinion? Throwing bombs? It is a very sad day in America when the Democratic party now rails on the Republicans for not extending the illegal unconstitutional Patriot Act. As we've continued to say, there is no difference in the Democratic and Republican Parties as a whole. Both want your rights. Both want control over you.

Democrats jab Republicans over Patriot Act vote

Patriot Act extension fails in the House by seven votes

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), who has presented an occasionally lonely opposition to the Patriot Act, said that Tuesday's vote demonstrated that he now had company from more than two dozen Republicans who support the Bill of Rights. "The Patriot Act represents the undermining of civil liberties," Kucinich said after the vote. Republicans "brought [the bill] forward not knowing the votes."
