Who voted yea, nay and those who didn't vote... by party.

Ain't it funny how some people will buy the good guy/bad guy horse shit?
I didn't pull it out of my ass. I read it somewhere on Anti War.com and that site is anything but liberal. I'll try and find it.

The senate took a voice vote with no debate, I know this since I started a thread that stated such.

You must be crazy to think I buy into the good guy/bad guy bullshit. But if either party had the balls to say the Patriot Act was bullshit I'd think it would be a dem or Ron Paul. The original had 1 no vote in the senate and that was Feingold.
