how can republicans preach against big government while openly supporting mass domestic spying by the nsa?

Doesn't that make them hypocritical?

    Big government is not quite the same as the intrusive, onerous government supported by BOTH parties.

    Are you actually ignorant enough to think only Republicans are responsible for the PA, or the PA2, or FISA?

    LOL. Democrats were against the Patriot Act and O'Bama campaigned on ending the act. Instead he made it stronger and has signed it EVER TIME it has come up for renewal and now Democrats don't seem to be against it! Is that hypocritical?!

    Um, that's your boy, pardner. The NSA is under his command, not the Republicans.

    And let's not forget Barry's 'flag@whitehouse.gov' where you could report any opposition to His will on the part of family, friends and neighbors.

    You are talking about RINOs like Boehner. How about discussing REAL conservatives...not that you even truly understand conservativism.
