Unfortunately....there are way too many GOP siding with Obama and the NSA on this. Anyone who saw the tantrum thrown by Michelle Malkin on Fox n Friends last week...showing her 100% support for the domestic spying (and comparing Snowden with Manning)....knows that the GOP is screwing up royally on this issue
The conservatives can really win over younger voters by emphasizing less government/less government intrusion...but looks like that is not happening
Professional conservative commentators are very reluctant to admit to themselves just how bad the situation is. Their comfy income and status would be jeopardized if things really have changed.
Someone who believes a few more Republican congressmen and a President Romney could straighten things out are going to see Snowden as a traitor, while those who see the war for what it is knows that government is the primary enemy.
