Tea Baggers Did Not Hold Off Patriot Act Extension

This is hilarious.

Tea Baggers are trying to claim that they held off passage of the extension of the Patriot Act because 8 newly elected Republican congressman who caucus with the Tea Bagger faction voted against its renewal.

What does this say about the 122 Democrats that voted against it? Why aren't Democrats getting the Freedom Fighting, small government label???

Never mind the fact that a majority of the tea bagger congressional caucus voted to extend the Patriot Act. Let's pretend the 8 people who voted against it are proof the GOP is the true government shrinking, America-loving party that truly cares about civil rights.
