"I did notice that nobody from the Democrat Party has
    actually stood up and called for getting rid of the
    terrorist surveillance program. You know, if that's what
    they believe, if people in the party believe that, then
    they ought to stand up and say it. They ought to stand up
    and say the tools we're using to protect the American
    people shouldn't be used. They ought to take their message
    to the people and say, vote for me, I promise we're not
    going to have a terrorist surveillance program. That's
    what they ought to be doing. That's part of what is an
    open and honest debate. 

    I did notice that, at one point in time, they didn't think
    the Patriot Act ought to be reauthorized -- "they" being
    at least the Minority Leader in the Senate. He openly
    said, as I understand -- I don't want to misquote him --
    something along the lines that, "We killed the Patriot
    Act." And if that's what the party believes, they ought
    to go around the country saying we shouldn't give the
    people on the front line of protecting us the tools
    necessary to do so."
