What does this have to do with Hillary Clinton's private email server? Simple. Hillary supported The Patriot Act, which authorized mass surveillance by the NSA. But when it comes to her own emails, she wants to hide them from the public. I'm not interested in reading about her personal emails. But when she sends and receives emails that have to do with official State Department business, that's something the public should have access to. We deserve to know if she was corresponding with people who were also donating to her family's foundation. We deserve to know what she was saying to a Canadian oil company who wanted to build a giant pipeline on our land. If she had used a government issued email address, that information would be made available through The Freedom of Information Act. But since she deleted 30,000 emails that she claims were personal, we'll never know just what was personal and what wasn't. At a minimum, Hillary Clinton is a major hypocrite. She sees nothing wrong with the government spying on you or me or even the leaders of Germany and Brazil, but she doesn't want us to see what she's up to. Oh and the only reason we know about the extent of the spying is because of Edward Snowden, a person Hillary thinks should go to prison.

So to recap, you're on the verge of electing a woman who wants to spy on you, won't let you see what she's up to, and wants to imprison the guy who showed you that the government is spying on you.
B/c she's a leftist like them and leftists tend to march blindly in lockstep.

If they took the time to analyze the consequences of what they support, one would hope many of them would stop supporting big government liberalism, but that's probably giving them too much credit.

That's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.

Who is the Republican front runner again? A reality television star and after him? A half-lidded surgeon.

WHO do the Republicans have that is worth anything?

You think I'm voting for another Bush? He will be the Republican candidate IF the powers that be can figure out any way to make it happen.

So what is big government liberalism?

Seems like so-called conservatives love big government when it comes to telling people who they can marry, or to what they can do with their bodies on medical procedures, or when it comes to eavesdropping on your e-mails and phone calls.

It's what you have in your state of California which drove it into the ground. Same in NY. NJ, CT, etc. (that's why people are leaving).

Is 13.3% in State income tax too low for you?
