White House Invokes ‘STATE PRIVILEGE’ To HALT Inquiries Into Data Mining

[brett_jv]

87. Thanks for making me feel like I'm maybe not crazy ...

I'm sorry, but the timing of all these 'revelations' lately is just way too 'convenient' for me to chalk up to coincidence.

I'm not HAPPY about this spying, not by any stretch. But ... letting the other side 'win', in the sense that they nail Obama to the cross and impeach him over simply continuing a program put in place by THEIR guy, and that THEY have signed off on repeatedly ... along with all the Faux outrage and ridiculous 'investigations' by the likes of Darrell Issa ... it's just not something I'm prepared to 'stomach'. My head will quite literally explode.

And I'm really getting suspicious that this is where this is all going. If the 'thugs play this right, it could result in far more damage to Democrats than would've been the case had Obama simply lost to RMoney. This could mean 10 years in the friggin wilderness for our Party. This is looking more and more to me like it's part of a grand 'plan' that's being executed here ... and I've little doubt that Rove is behind it.

As pissed as I am about this spying, I'm MORE concerned about the GOP successfully using this information to impeach and remove Obama. There, I said it ... I'm willing to side with MY guy, and MY party ... over pure, dogmatic 'principles'. Everyone on the 'other side' does EXACTLY that. That's why they've won/held power so often over the past 33 years, even though GOP policies SUCK for 99% of Americans. They 'stick together', no matter what. And if we Progressives refuse to do the same thing ... we might as well just not even bother to vote.

It sucks, in many ways, but until we actually have >2 viable political parties, this is the landscape we live in. Lesser of Two Evils is really the best we can presently hope for. And I know who I think fits that bill. There's NO WAY that McCain or RMoney would've disbanded these programs either, nor will Rand Paul or whoever the 'thugs throw at us next.
