If you are a repug (despised by all Dems) who wants the New American century surveillance state what is one way to get it? One way would be to appear to agree with those who are against the surveillance state. Then other members of the same party discount all of the dissenting views because "so-and-so said the same thing so they must be right wing trolls." Nice and easy huh?

Edit - so with this one statement he has still supported the right wing by calling Obama a liar and he tears apart the Democratic party because many of them "must be right wing shills for saying what Rush says."
