It'd be good if the GOP actually did that. When might they start, though? Because so far, it seems like most GOP senators and "commentators" have been busy calling the whistleblower everything from a lawbreaker to a treasonist. For every Sen. Rand Paul on 4th amendment issues, there seem to be many more Lindsey Grahams, John McCains, and so on.
Privacy?
Like abortion being between a woman and her doctor.
Keep your damned laws off of my body, GOP.

State Trends for 2011 on Abortion, Family Planning, Sex Education and Insurance
First quarter 2011
To date, legislators have introduced 916 measures related to reproductive health and rights in the 49 legislatures that have convened their regular sessions. (Louisiana’s legislature will not convene until late April.) By the end of March, seven states had enacted 15 new laws on these issues, including provisions that:

State Trends for 2012 on Abortion, Family Planning, Sex Education and Insurance
2012 Updated Information
To date, legislators have introduced 944 provisions related to reproductive health and rights in 45 of the 46 legislatures that have convened this year. (Legislatures in Montana, Nevada, North Dakota and Texas do not meet in 2012.) Fully half of these provisions would restrict abortion.

So far this year, 76 abortion restrictions have been approved by at least one legislative chamber, and nine have been enacted. This is below the record-breaking pace of 2011, when 127 abortion restrictions had been approved by at least one body, and 38 had been enacted by this time last year. However, the overall level of legislative activity is nonetheless significantly higher than usual for an election year: In 2010, for example, only 46 such restrictions had passed at least one house by this point, while in 2008, only 34 had passed one chamber by the end of the first quarter. (The number of enacted abortion restrictions totaled 19 at this point in 2010, but in 2008, none of the enacted bills restricted access to abortion.)


What was that poster saying about privacy?
Or don't women count?
Why would they need privacy rights?

Aside from that, if America expands employment opportunities, that will thereby expand the tax revenue base, in other words, more people would be paying income taxes, which would be good for lowering America's debt.

I'm still waiting for the job creators who received tax breaks to create jobs.

The reality, of course, has been quite different. There is little evidence that the Bush tax cuts, or any other tax cuts directed at the so-called job creators, have had a noticeable effect on economic growth. And the promise of broadly shared prosperity has not been realized.

Please try to explain to me what your comment has to do with abortion and the GOP being "pro-privacy".

If you're talking about Bloomberg, he's an independent.
