The politicization of American privacy

I'd like to see Hillary and Bill and the Dems get a hold on this. Use this as a 2016 wedge issue against the neocons and those Dems who have embraced neocon state security...

Because...

Rand Paul/Ted Cruz/insert name here WILL use this is a wedge issue. If the Dem nominee allows herself to be tied to and supportive of Bush/Obama international and domestic snooping there will be hell to pay. I can see the misleading and manipulative ads already. Little Randayn Paul on the screen inviting young people to cross over to legalize pot, stop "the man" from snooping and spying on you and reduce size and scope of said oppressive government.

Bill should already be out there talking about abuses of the Patriot act and Patriot Act version 2009. Bill is the most trusted public figure out there today and would set up Hillary nicely.

Hillary is no different than Obama when it comes to all this snoopy shit.

She might even be worse and I would never trust Bubba as far as I could throw him.

And re: Bill, if quality of life in America is a side effect of a President then Bubba is the best in my lifetime. The 90's rocked!!
