Republicans join Obama as amendment to defund NSA fails

[nitroz]

As you see, there are claims that the right wing and conservatives are "for smaller government", but in reality, they are behind the largest spying organization in the world that has not just only broke the laws, but that has committed treason by using the constitution to wipe it's ass and spied on other countries, including allies.

I have a source that's even more appalling
Republicans join Obama as amendment to defund NSA fails

In a vote that went down to the wire, an amendment that would have effectively defunded the National Security Agency's ability to spy on all Americans' phone records with a warrant failed to pass in Congress. -- And in a rare occurrence in Obama's presidency in which the opposing party voted according to his wishes, Republicans made sure it didn't pass. Democrats voted in favor by a 111-83 count while Republicans voted against it 94-134.

Prominent conservatives like Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) and Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), both known for being highly critical of the Obama administration, gave impassioned pleas against the bill before the vote was held.

Inb4 "LIBERAL COMMIES ARE GOING TO TURN AMERICA INTO DETROIT" and all that other shit that's said by alot of loony right wingers here.

Democrats are not commies or socialists, anymore than Republicans are fascists or Nazis.

However, those Dems and Pubs that voted to defeat the amendments are not supporting American values of freedom and liberty.

Agreed.
But the lesson here is to NOT support partisanship!
