Now we know who the ‘real traitors’ are.

[Thane_Banquo]

Go to hell, you drunken crying SOB.

[Safrguns]

Boehner is far more a traitor that this guy.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The leadership in congress as well as the president are the true traitors.

[Biggirl]

A good start.

[yldstrk]

John you are the traitor here, we trusted you and you are simply turning us all in to your prey

[Norm Lenhart]

I was just going to say that now I KNOW Snowden did the right thing.

[Wyatt's Torch]

We sure are finding out aren’t we...

[TheZMan]

So he’ll attack someone who lets us all know the government is overreaching.

But he won’t attack someone who is overreaching.

Thanks John, ya douche.

[LibFreeUSA]

I’m telling you people, with talk like this from this clown, we are screwed!

[TexasFreeper2009]

you pledge an oath to the CONSTITUTION to protect IT from all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.

It seems to be that this guy is a hero and our government are the traitors.

[Jonty30]

Sure, but any Congressman who did not make it known, to the American people, the extent they knew as to how much the NSA was spying on the American people are also traitors.

Yes, we are looking at you, Boehner.

[hal ogen]

The Free-America loathers are the true traitors. There are many.

[silverleaf]

have another drink John

you’ll feel better about America by noon

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wasn't sure what to think, but Snowden has all the right enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[txrefugee]

John “Big Government” Boehner definitely will never be accused of being a patriot.

[kimtom]

kettle calling the pot “black”....

[ilgipper]

I waiver back and forth whether we should just let the GOP crumble in 2014 to get rid of this rancid leadership, or whether it is vital to the country to keep some balance of power. I thought of Obama having Pelosi and Reid for 2 final years seems unpalatable....and I think that’s what the RNC is betting on. Still not sure we shouldn’t let the Dems take over and hit rock bottom in hopes of saving it a generation from now.

I didn’t know that Boner was a heavy drinker.
