“Democrats, protective of the Obama administration, are less critical of the NSA; 37 percent say it “goes too far,” for example vs. 47 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents.”
Checkout this latest poll conducted by Langer Research Associates for ABC News/Washington Post (see below).
First, what in the world has happened to Democratic voters? Why would they ever agree to the government’s dragnet of the entirety of their private dealings such as phone calls, emails, text messaging, IM chat logs, Skype calls, LinkedIn associations, web browsing, FB tracking and so much more? Have they always been this ignorant?
Second, thank goodness younger Americans get it.
They happen to find their privacy, well, theirs and the majority happen to believe NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden did the ‘right thing’ by putting some sunshine on the illegal surveilling of the whole friggin world endorsed, supported and embraced by both the Obama and Bush administrations.
Finally, compare the conservative and Tea Party numbers to the dolts Dems numbers…no wonder we’re such a divided nation. If we can’t even agree on the most basic of principles – privacy – what the hell can we agree on?
