Is anyone watching Bush defend the Patriot Act?

[katinmn]

on CNN right now

1. It's on in the background. Sounds like an OLD speech.

I know I've heard all this crap before.

[Mark Williams]

2. this is sick

I've got msnbc on in the background and this is sickening.

[Mark Williams]

3. "the patriot act has not diminished american liberties" - bush

what the fuck is he talking about?

[mctrotter5]

4. I only read text of Bush's speak, less disruptive to digestion!

[katinmn]

5. "PA helps to defend America liberties" Uh-Huh

He must be worried to appear live and talk about it.

The Patriot Act is to sunset (thanks to Conyers for succeeding in adding the amendment) at the end of the year unless Congress votes to extend it.

[hang a left]

10. I read somewhere that they are going to try to ram it through

in the next couple of weeks.

6. Yeah....I'm watchin it....

He just exited stage left with "Hail to the Chimp" playing in the background.

Idiot.

And now....MORE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. Never thought I'd see the day CNN would put a Dem on first

They have Dem Sen Feingold on first, is basically saying pretzledent is doing a bait and switch and that he's totally wrong on his stance on patrioct act. Says to re-enact it, chips away the Bill of Rights.

let's see who speaks next.

[Old and In the Way]

8. PA might be protecting his personal security interests.....it ain't

protecting our freedoms or our national security.

But what treasonous dictator wants transparency in government? What reasonous dictator wants the people to have access to government information? Don't treasonous dictators have motivation to limit civil liberties, not expand them?

9. I don't think it's a coincidence

that we have rooted out an "Al Qaida cell" right here in the Good Ol' US of A just as the Patriot Act is about to sunset.
