Woo Hoo! Tester: "I don't want to weaken the Patriot Act"...

[Rose Siding]

"I want to get rid of it," Tester said.

Jon Tester, locked in a tight race with the three-term incumbent, blasted Burns during their debate for running up the federal deficit and claimed he has lost touch with Montana.
...
"I don't think Mr. Tester understands this enemy," Burns said. "We cannot afford another 9/11. I can tell you that right now. He wants to weaken the Patriot Act."

Tester said the Patriot Act is eroding the very freedoms the terrorists are trying to take from Americans.
"Let me be clear. I don't want to weaken the Patriot Act. I want to get rid of it," Tester said.

10. Had the pleasure of pissing off one of those phone polls...

POLLSTER: May I have just a minute of your time to ask...(blah blah)
ME: Alright...
POLLSTER: In the upcoming election on Nov. 7th, are you planning to vote for Jon Tester-
ME: (cutting in) YES!
POLLSTER: ...Democrat, or Conrad Burns, Republican?
ME: (patiently...sort of) I just told you...I'm voting for Tester.
POLLSTER: (huffily) Well...thank you. Goodbye.

Wonder if it was affiliated with Burns' crowd...and if it would accurately reported.
Oh well...inaccurate reporting of polls is like lying to your doctor about what's bugging you...then wondering why you aren't getting better...or elected. :eyes:
