The real crime here isn't that our government is appropriating data from Verizon et all to spy on us. Although that's bad enough.
The real crime is that we let them make it legal to do this to us. It's disgusting. It doesn't matter to me which administration started this. The CURRENT one promised to be open and transparent.
My fucking eye they are. The whole thing makes me want to vomit. It's beyond disgusting.
Doug, ask yourself this question:
What would be your reaction if a Romney administration had committed "Fast and Furious", leaked favorable classified information, ignored racial intimidation at polling places, killed innocent Americans with drones, doubled down the military commitment in Afghanistan, abandoned four Americans to die in an embassy-then repeatedly lied about it, targeted political opponents with the EPA, DOJ, DOL, and then defended itself with claims that it know none of this is happening?
We may not like what the current administration is doing, but we are hearing about it....come hell or high water, we're hearing about it, whether WE want to or not.
Doug,
What aspect of Romney's past lead's you to believe he would "refuse to release the information of would have quashed any source which wanted to."
Here's the guy who leaked. My thanks to him, his motives and I hope he comes out of this ok.
NSA leaker comes forward, warns of agency's 'existential threat' - CNN.com
Don't wast your time on a fella who proudly put a bumper sticker on his guitar case saying, " My momma says I'm smart."
His refusal to release his income records in the manner which has become customary with presidential candidates...he released only two years, whereas the practice has been to release at least the past ten years.
When pressed about the issue, his answer (and his wife's) was simply "There will be no more information forthcoming".
...and there was not.
Something to hide? Sure sounds like it....:idea:
...and that is the manner in which he would have dealt with any unfortunate (for his administration) information or occurances. His disdain for the public's right to be informed was obvious to those of us who were politically sentient enough to look at the situation objectively...of course, those who preferred Romney for whatever reason, including that they simply disliked his oponent, might have a different opinion, but that is questionable "objectivity". It is evident to me that any administration under Romney would have been much less "transparent" than the current administration, about which you are complaining so vociferously.
Cheers!
Doug
