If you're OK with revelations of NSA snooping, you're part of the problem

174. Ah, of course. Mindless tribalism.

But I'll give you bonus points for at least attempting to actually argue the question.

1. The "bit of information" is literally which phone number called which phone number and when. That is a stunningly small amount of information compared to the actual conversations themselves. (Which can also be subpoenaed, in some cases even retroactively.)

2. There absolutely is a difference between a corporation and the government having the information: unlike the corporation, the government has absolutely no economic incentive to misuse it. Glad you figured that one out.

3. Just FYI, although the Democrats are generally considered center-left, according to polling there are more self-described Conservatives in the Democratic party (13%) than there are self-described Very Liberal (10%) party members. You personally seem to have an issue with us, but we help you win elections.
