Our Congressman says he opposes the extension of portions of the Patriot Act out of fears the government will get too nosy and intrude on the privacy of citizens...In fact in this story, the WDT compares Rep. Bill Owens views to those of Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the tea party backed libertarian.
Is that a low blow or what ? Can you imagine what June O'Neill and Steve Israel must think, having the man they worked so hard to elect, compared to Senator Paul ?
If the Congressman is moving in that direction, that's fine with me.
Watertown Daily Times Owens still concerned over Patriot Act provisions

Ron Paul would never rush to Washington to vote for Nancycare as his first vote.
Even if you are a socialist and want all you can eat free medical care...Obamacare is still such a poor version that you have to be corrupt to vote for it.
8:40 is on it. The WDT is acting stupidly again. Very cute BS story. Typical WDT.
Owen's vote for Obamacare insures that there isn't enough money this side of Alpha Centuri to get me to vote for him no matter how he tries to make us believe he's a good guy. However, on the other side of the coin, the first bill Bush signed into law was the "campaign reform" bill, which is about the worst infringement of the 1st. Amendment to ever cross a Presidents desk.
I am waiting for a Republicant to come forward with an alternative medical plan that doesn't further protect the Big Pharma and Big Insurance corps, and don't gimme that free market crap.
Can someone tell me what exactly is so bad about Obamacare? Just because someone supports it doesn't make them "corrupt".
Ah...the "something is better than nothing" logical fallacy.
I don't know...if you are into socialized medicine...the plan Reagan had where emergency rooms could not turn away patience was a good start. The Pataki plan of child health plus was another. Romney's plan was a full blown socialized plan but it did not involve billions in kickbacks to certain favored states like nancycare does.
Hey! I run circles 'round these liberals, huh?
4:04 The purpose of reform of our medical care system was supposedly to make care more affordable. ObamaCare did nothing of the sort. Any honest reform should have addressed all aspects of our system, INCLUDING tort reform. Because the Democrat party sleeps with lawyers, that was ignored in rush to buy the votes necessary to pass the legislation. As we are now seeing with the greatest liar of our generation, Nancy Pelosi, some are given exemptions so they can opt out of the program. Why do you suppose so many of these waivers are in Nancys's district in SanFran? Reason, because it is a corrupt and unmanageable system and people know it. What the bill did was give tens of millions of people supposedly free healthcare with no way to pay for it. What a gift. By the time the crap hits the fan MSM will rewrite history the same way Barney Frank did with Fannie Mae. Truth is, its a dishonest bill. Owens voted for it because he is a man with no integrity who does what Nancy tells him to do. He then lies about the input he received from his own constituents. The man is worthless. The perfect politician. Does that answer your question?
No sense in trying to reason with these liberals with their heads in the sand.
But it cannot hurt to keep fresh in our minds why Obama and Owens suck so much.
The new 20% of waivers are in Pelosi’s district is probably just Fox propaganda.
The real reasons Nancycare sucks and by extension Owens does too (because he drove 84MPH to DC to vote for the sucky bill), are as follow:
It involved billions of dollars in bribes to three states.
It did not address tort reform
It put the cost on employers
It had a provision for 1099’s that was ridiculous
It took over the student loan business from banks (the only thing less reliable than a bank is the government).
We needed healthcare reform to reduce costs, cover everyone and relieve providers from performing tests just to avoid lawsuits.
Nancycare did not improve any of those things and actually made the costs worse.
The bill is 2000 pages long so there are at least 2000 things wrong with the bill.
was it Bush 43 who had the opportunity to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma but chose to pass on the chance?
Yes it was b-b-b-but Bush.
Your point?
It had to have been Bush. Bush caused all the rain we've been having lately. Dontcha know? You stupidshi#s.
