Imagine a President Christie with the power and apparatus of the NSA behind him

[Yavin4]

Imagine the damage that a politically, petty-minded Chris Christie could do with the spying program that the NSA is currently doing.

We all owe Snowden our gratitude for exposing the NSA program.

1. Kind of like what Nixon was doing only with way better technology.

Christie seems very Nixon-ish.

2. that almost made me swoon with fear!

I would have to renounce my citizenship too!

3. No need to imagine it. Just remember pResident Cheney and his vindictiveness against

his enemies.

But I don't owe Snowden squat, particularly since he thought the NSA and the Patriot Act (an expanded, unfettered version than under President Obama) was A-OK when Bush(Cheney) was president. Sorry. He was motivated by political reasons, so he will never get kudos from me.

[Auntie Bush]

4. That has been worrying me for quite awhile.

As a president he'd have so much power regarding EVERYTHING. He'd be like a dictator since everyone would fear disagreeing with him. So, what Christie says goes. Kind of like ReThugs are afraid to criticize Rush. Some people have too much power.
