Tinfoil reason why Republicants are sooooo fucking upset about the NSA...

[Aviation Pro]

...because deep in their small fucking hearts, they are praying for a 9/11-like attack on the U.S. during the President's tenure due to a failure of intelligence collection.

Never, never, never trust what comes out of these fucksticks' mouths.

1. They can build an unbeatable platform

Hypocritically and dishonestly (of course) opposing "Obama's"
NSA incursions, Hillary's Benghazi failure (9-11-wont be mentioned)
and one other thing- Decriminalizing marijauna.
Watch out, they could take the whole thing while Democrats take the tough guy stance
on civil liberties and freedom.
If they wanted a 9-11 attack they would just order one up.

3. I think it's probably for a simpler reason:

1. Anger/outrage/loud noises from RW congresscritters is a very effective smokescreen to keep people from asking them just what they knew about the NSA's reach and when they knew it...


2. Anger/outrage/loud noises from RW congresscritters is also much, much easier to maintain the façade that they actually give a shit about the issue as opposed to, say, getting off their asses and doing something about it...This is a congress which has traditionally brought the entire government to a halt just because they want to defund the postal service/obamacare/unemployment benefits/social security/the EPA/etc., but ask them to defund the NSA and see how fast those excuses fly...

It is clear at any rate that the GOP is trying their worst to make sure Obama is the only one eating this scandal....

5. They think the Obama administration will use the information for political purposes ...

because that is exactly what they would (will?) do.
