    Democrats

    I don't understand how anybody can claim that anything about the Patriot Act is any kind of win.

    I'll continue to vote for Democrats, but my feelings about it were best summed up by Aaron Sorkin. On The West Wing, he had John Spencer's Leo McGarry say, "I'm tired of voting for the lesser of who cares."

    Consistent, principled action. That's what I want to see. Senator Feingold, keep it up.
