Michele Bachmann Betrays the Tea Party with Patriot Act Support: HR514

I hate to inform you of this. Michele Bachman, the self-proclaimed Tea Party champion turned out to be a Tea Party fraud. She voted to extend the Patriot Act, which authorized warrantless wiretapping of any American citizen without a warrant.

I thought Bachman was against all this intrusive government, but she showed her true colors yesterday. I am disappointed. I expected her to vote against the Patriot Act.

Here is a list of the small group of Republicans that voted against the Patriot Act:

Justin Amash (Mich.), Roscoe G. Bartlett (Md.), Rob Bishop (Utah), Paul Broun (Ga.), John Campbell (Calif.), John J. Duncan Jr. (Tenn.), Michael G. Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Christopher P. Gibson (N.Y.), Tom Graves (Ga.) Dean Heller (Nev.), Randy Hultgren (Ill.), Timothy V. Johnson (Ill.), Walter B. Jones (N.C.), Jack Kingston (Ga.), Raul R. Labrador (Idaho), Connie Mack (Fla.), Kenny Marchant (Tex.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Ron Paul (Tex.), Denny Rehberg (Mont.), Phil Roe (Tenn.), Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.), Robert Schilling (Ill.), David Schweikert (Ariz.), Rob Woodall (Ga.), Don Young (Alaska).
