If you'd rather choose someone who takes a position and sticks to it beyond all reason and logic then Bush is definitely your man.

The Patriot Act has prevented Terrorism exactly how. No blanket statements. Exactly how and what terrorism has it prevented? Also, name how many people Ashcroft has succesfully prosecuted. Not detained. Successfully prosecuted. You can count them on one hand.
One lost right is the fact that the FBI can now search your home without telling you prior to or afterwards. You do not need to be shown a warrant and you do not need to be present.
I like the Bush ad for idiots.....that Kerry wants to get rid of the Patriot Act which provided the same law enforcement ability against terrorists that were being used against drug dealers. What a bunch of BS.
