#4 1. actually there are several Republicans who share the concerns. Conservative Republicans, not "Rinos".

2. Congrats to the administration on supporting the McCain amendment. A wise decision, that will help in the WOT.

#5 Yeah, by assisting the murderers of American troops and civilians. Real helpful.

The loathesome filth that is John McCain knows no bounds. He should be in jail or at least in disgraced retirement from politics for his Keating Five antics, to say nothing of betraying the oaths that he had sworn to defend the Constitution with the McCain/Feingold "Use the Constitution for toilet paper" Reichsbill.

#7 note that both Bill Frist and Joe Leiberman voted against the Patriot Act renewal (as currently written) and McCain voted FOR it.

#8 The defeat of the Patriot Act was due to the Democratic Party in the United States of America aligning themselves with the Council of Islamic Relations. (CAIR)

#9 Bill Frist voted against the amendment at the last minute when he saw there were not enough votes to pass the Act, to be able bring the Act back up immediately. Otherwise, it would be dead long term.
