Democrats in the US Senate, along with several rebel Republicans, blocked passage of a new Patriot Act to combat terrorism on Friday, by 52 votes to 47.

The vote fell eight shy of the 60 needed to end the debate. The current act expires on 31 December and Republicans have rejected a call for a short-term measure to prevent the expiration.

"rebel republicans"? Who wrote this anyway, Karl Rove?!

1. Look for MIHOP from an administration near you! n/t

[cry baby]

2. My thoughts, too. If the PA goes down, MIHOP will happen and

it will doom the democrats forever. It will be dems that block the PA, therefore it will be dems that the fault falls on.

Keep you head down!

4. "Keep you head down!"

And your powder dry!

5. Just like how Dems were to blame for the '80s budget deficit ballooning

:scared:

8. exactly.

This could really go well for the repukes. They could send dems into oblivion forever. They may already have something in place, ready to destroy someone, somewhere. That's what scares me.

3. Iranian Oil Bourse scheduled to go online in March 2006.

I'm personally watching that time-line. Keep the faith, peace.
