(1,239 posts)He certainly opened a can of worms. He brought to light something we were not aware of.
I know he is a Libertarian but ultimately my Liberal slant tell me this guy was a whistle blower.
I think if it were me I probably would have committed suicide afterwords. I expect the conservatives want to lock him up forever. I know what he did was a breach of the oath he took to get the job that gave him the know edge of what was going on. I think liberals want the truth and conservative want to spread lies and hide the truth. To answer your question I don't think my opinion would change if Snowden were the unabashed Liberal and a Republican was president. I am not a one issue and I draw a conclusion person. My term of Republican Democrat is for those that buy multiple conservative talking point and not just one. Snowden, the poor, and global warming is usually the key three that they bring up to me first. Thanks for asking.
