that has paid off so well for republicans over the past three decades.

There's something for everybody in it. Right wingers and republicans love it because they hate Obama and they can beat him about the head and shoulders with it. Democrats love it because opposition to big brother style government snooping is the right thing to do.

And the fact that the governmental "security" agencies are so reluctant to give up any of their secrecy just fuels public opposition to their programs.

Universal anger over NSA is going to trump divisive social/religious issues as an area of concern to Americans. Might take time but it will happen.
