The NSA, Partisan Hypocrisy, and Party Drones

[mythbuster43]

The whole thing about the NSA leaks in the last week or so has made me close to despair at how hypocritical and partisan our nation's leaders have become. it's like integrity and consistency doon't exist anymore, and all there is is a bunch of Partisan weasels squawking.

Bill Maher is a dick a lot of the time, but he had a good line about this sort of thing:

"The republicans didn't care about Big Brother until they elected a Big Brother"

Also, how many democrats have come out in support for this NSA stuff? I know Obama was defending it, which I doubt he would have done under the Bush Administration.

What is this "integrity" of which you speak? Politicians are either Machiavellian (well, kind of. The have the amorality part sorted, the cunning manipulator part, not so much) or they can fuck off to a 3rd party.
