PATRIOT Act Defeated in U.S. House Vote

Obama, corporate Democrats and corporate Republicans were dealt a defeat when progressive Democrats and Tea Party members joined forces to block an extension of the PATRIOT Act on procedural grounds. The Institutional Democrat-Republican Party (IDRP) - America's only legally-allowed political party - leadership joined forces to try to push an extension through but were rebuffed after Democrat congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio rallied the two-dozen Tea Party Republicans by calling a move to defeat the act "the Tea Party's first test."
The leadership of the IDRP plan to reintroduce the measure to overcome procedural blocks and move it to the Senate. Republican Rand Paul and Socialist Bernie Sanders plan to rally senators to stop the extension in the Senate but will likely be defeated.
Obama has asked Congress to quickly extend the Bush-era emergency law that gives his Secret Police forces sweeping powers of oppression and evil.

Good things!
Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul, what an odd threesome, but they did good work today.

Now that you're a computer and not a German, non-citizen, who are you going to vote for?

It will be useless.
The IDRP has their rank and file busy tickling each other with
gotcha moments of videos of random loons they found on YouTube and arguing over a cosmetic health insurance law while they engineer the grand auto-golpe out-of-sight; the producer-consumer drones distracted.
The Empire marches on, consolidating power.

A small group of Tea Party and Libertarian Party members heckled Vice-President Dick Cheney during his surprise appearance at the annual meeting of CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee, yesterday. During the spontaneous outburst, several attendees screamed "war criminal" and "traitor" at what was supposed to be a glamorous reception, prompting Cheney to chuckle malevolently. The short demonstration was quickly drowned-out by a cacophony of boos from the more numerous corporate Republicans in attendance.
