First off, I'm a registered Republican. (As Arnold so eloquently put it: If you think that you can spend your money better than your government: you are a Republican). I also like to think of Orwell's masterpiece as my second Bible. I have read it over five times, and have done many reports on it. I also see the similarities between the PATRIOT Act and the book's Thought Police, and I don't support it. However, saying that President Bush, and the Republican Party is at fault for the passage of the PATRIOT Act is totally false and unfounded. As the Democrats' beloved Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 stated, the PATRIOT Act had been something on the bi-partisan FBI/CIA's agenda for a long time. The incident on 9/11/2001 just pushed the envelope far enough for Congress, a mostly bi-partisan group, to pass it.
