What really pisses me off is that Democrats seem to support Obama in anything he does; half of them think this kind of shit is perfectly fine, likely because their team is the one doing it. Really sorely disappointing.
Yeah, that's absolutely true. And the other half has John McCain and Lindsey Graham saying they're ok with it and they think these programs are necessary. We have two parties, and zero choices. Our country is fucked.
What are you talking about? Do you have any evidence for this? Or was it just some democrat you talked to who supported mass surveillance? You think the 30% of Americans who believe Snowden is a patriot are all non-democrats?
"A survey ... found that 56% believe that broad-based government tracking of telephone records is acceptable ... More Democrats than Republicans found it acceptable, a reversal of findings in a similar poll taken when George W. Bush was president ..."
> Democrats are more likely to approve of the surveillance programs (49-40 percent), which Republicans (32-63 percent) and independents (34-56 percent) largely disapprove.
In the vein of "90% of everything is shit", 90% of political supporters are sheep -- the important part to remember is that this applies to your own team as well as the opposition.
