I am still unsure about Snowden.

I would like to think he is one of the good guys, but on the other hand he voted for Obozo. No one who voted for “the Won” can be considered intelligent.

I agree.

"No one who voted for “the Won” can be considered intelligent."

I did not vote for "the Won", but the other choices were equally bad: McLame or a mere protest vote for the Libertarian or Constitutional Party candidate.

Many people voted for Obama thinking it would be a good anti-racism statement and that he couldn't do that much damage in so short a time.

They were merely reckless, not necessarily dumb.

I would add that in the case of Snowden and others anyone voting for Obmama cannot really care for the USA and the Constitution. These people might be piqued at one shameful act but do not see or care to see other wrongs.

At this point, Snowden no longer really matters to the narrative - what matters is the response to his claims. Obama blowing it off as a phony scandal, and the majority of Republicans in Congress either not caring, or even supporting the NSA breaking the 4th Amendment, is what matters.

I used to ignore the tinfoil crowd, but I watched senior Republican leaders in Congress defend the trashing of our Constitution, and they did so without a worry in the world that they would have any problems winning their next elections.

We are not the country that a lot of us thought we are, and thought we should be. We are sinking into KGB/Stasi/etc. levels of surveillance (or worse), and the GOP is defending it proudly.

Conservatives expect to be sold out by the Democrats, but it turns out, our own party is much more dangerous, because they are enabling the Democrats.
