4 AnswersMedia & Journalism9 years agodoes it bother you that our government is spying on all of US?
I'm 65 years old, born in 1946, I lived through the whole cold war era. When the Soviet Union {Russia} was discussed one of the things that convinced me it was an evil empire was the stories of everyone telling on everyone else, that the police and the KGB spent all kinds of time and money spying on their own citizens. Now our government can track everywhere you go by your electronic devices. We have Drones and computers, and satellite surveillance, they use the excuse of protecting you from illegal aliens or terrorists for new laws like the Patriot Act, but anyone who gives this a little thought might come to the conclusion that we could get rid of the Alien problem by arresting a few employers of said Aliens. Or that the loose, greedy, handling of visas and allowing these terrorists to come and go to America willynelly, allowed these terrorists to build their nest here and attack US. So does it Bother You that you are being observed and categorized and psychoanalyzed as we write and breathe.

2 AnswersPolitics9 years agowhat % of registered republicans are actually voting in the GOP primaries?
the news {talking heads} will say candidate X got 20% of the vote on such and such day in such and such state, but they never say candidate X got Y votes which is x% of total registered republicans in such and such state. I believe the % of registered republicans voting is way less than # of registered total republicans in any state.
