What? I've said from the day it passed that the Patriot Act was the beginning of the end. It's absolutely terrible. All I said was I can see a lot of Dems agreeing with it.
As to your Romney and Gingrich references, I can only assume you're meaning ACA, which as I've said before...if it was simply that, it would have easily passed....what passed is not at all simply that, it's WAY more complicated, unnecessarily so, to the point that even the people who wrote it don't know what the fuck it says, and it's outcome is shady at best...it can't even get off the ground it's so terrible, and if it survives to full fruition...I don't even believe in God, but it might make me pray.
