the for party first, issues later, esp. in vaguer areas. They're not the conservative dems that are notable in that poll b/c the conservative dems were always the ones who were pro extended surveillance, it's the 30% switching from against it to for it when Obama is in office. That crowd will switch to whatever his position is on certain issues, usually the ones that are a little more vague.

Then it was the other way around, with repukes being okay with whatever the giggling psychopath did, and Dems being outraged.

Since then there have been more revelations of how far this has gone. Republicans are learning that blind partisanship can be a danger to their own interests. Let's hope everyone learns it before it is too late.

Especially when they follow up by saying Obama's anti-terrorism policies 'don't go far enough'.
