I'm not a liberal, but why in the world would you think they'd support that? Why would anyone support that? If you will recall, it was the hard right R's who came up with the patriot act.
Because some people are pathologically ignorant, pathologically partisan, belong to a party that says "if it's not what I like, then you must not be an American", and my favorite; if you don't think like me you must be on a plantation.
The Liberals on this thread discussing the Patriot Act are either liars, uninformed, or just plain stupid. All of you need to look up who voted for/against the Patriot Act (both times). And then ask yourself how you can call yourselves "informed."

Because they have started to believe their own propaganda. They think any thing Bad/doesn't work = Liberal
Examples
Bush = Liberal
Patriot act = Liberal
Iraq war = Liberal
McCain = Liberal
Neo-Conservative = Liberal
You folks have lost me here. The OP was that you think liberals are jumping up and down because conservatives are going to be spied on. The liberal people posting think it's horrible--they're saying that the liberals were upset with the patriot act. You in turn argue with them that the liberal members of Congress voted for it right alongside the republicans.
So--what you're saying is that the conservatives were fine with spying on US citizens all along, as long as they weren't personally a target, and now that they are, they're upset?
I think this is a good lesson in being careful what you wish for.
My favorite think to ask someone when they say Hitler was a liberal is..."So I take it that means you want to support candidates to the right of Hitler."
Sounds like $525,000 of funding not needed by the government..... a little drop towards that deficit... way more than what repugs were gonna get for NPR.... Where is the interest to go after this? I'm sure the repugs will put it at the top of their agenda.
