Nate Silver on Snowden:

[sabrina 1]

56. Ari Fleischer and Peter 'we-count-the-votes King are praising the President

for 'continuing Bush's policies and protecting the American people'.

If your positive opinion of someone is based on who supports them, then I would be very worried as more and more Republicans are supporting the President on this.

I am happy with who supports my position on our Constitutional rights, people like Daniel Ellsberg, Ron Wyden, Udal, Alan Grayson, and so many great Democrats.

I am very sad that this President allowed himself to get roped into Bush's scare tactics and actually admit that he 'kept Bush's policies'. That is not why we supported him, we supported him to END Bush's policies, but he has told us himself that he kept them. I wish he had told us before both elections that he intended to continue the worst policies ever in living memory for many of us.

I think the President can take care of himself, but I will never, ever support anyone who thinks we have to give up any Constitutional Rights, as he said publicy yesterday. I wish him well, I supported him, now we have to go take care of this country.
