Any Democratic candidate who supports the NSA domestic spy program risks losing my vote in 2014

The primaries are going to be here before you know it. We did not elect Obama to carry on the same noxious programs started by Bush.

Dianne Feinstein doesn't represent my state, but any Democrat who feels the same way that she does about the surveillance program won't represent Texas in the Senate, either.

It's called the Fourth Amendment, and it exists for a reason.

They will probably both want to have the most open government in history and close Gitmo as well. And even renegotiate NAFTA.

I bet you won't vote GOP. They will tape your calls, see two guys over to water board you, and send you to a military brig if they find that Wikileaks contribution in your checkbook.
