Yeah, I remember that last Senator who made an "off the cuff remark" I
believe he was forced to step down from his position. I read the news
stories, that's why we are discussing this. It's been all over the news,
seems a lot of people share my feelings.

Please see above and refer to my previous statement about past history.

Please reread and comprehend the above statement first. The business/lobby
groups control him via campaign contributions and other money. Had I said
big business controls the voting procedure, your comment may have made some
sense. As it stands, it almost sounds like you are being obtuse to try and
bolster your argument.

Well Shawn, way to rip off Ben F. Yeah, you came up with that on your own.
Whatever. BTW, your quote is still wrong anyways. I gotta say Ben Franklin
was a smarter man :)

Contradict yourself some more for me would you? Last email you said:

"The Patriot Act amounts to short-term inconvenience for a few, that the
many might live." 

So which is it Shawn, temp or permanent?!?!? By law, it's supposed to be
temporary, hence the sunset clause that Hatch and others would like to
revoke.

Again, you show you have no clue what you are talking about. That is not the
primary objection with the patriot act at all. I've provided you with a link
to a page full of issues. If you need more let me know, I'll gladly grab
them from other sites as well.

Yeah, yelling fire in a crowded theatre is the same. Again, whatever..Just
cause you CAN make an analogy Shawn, doesn't mean it's correct OR relevant.

I'm sorry, this is going to go downhill right here. I can't argue with
someone who is so blatantly idiotic that they border on troll. The Patriot
act has numerous problems. Maybe you should read more about the problems
with it.

At any rate Shawn, keep spouting and contradicting yourself, it really
strengthens your argument, either way..I'm done wasting my time on an
obvious troll.
