New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (N.J.) is taking aim at likely 2016 rival Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for opposing renewal of the Patriot Act, accusing him of siding with “criminal” leaker Edward Snowden. Christie, a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate, slammed Paul and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) for their vocal push to end the surveillance practices of the National Security Administration (NSA) that Snowden exposed to the world by releasing classified documents. “He’s a criminal, he’s a criminal and he’s hiding in Russia, and he’s lecturing to us about the evils of authoritarian government while he lives under the protective umbrella of Vladimir Putin?” Christie said of Snowden on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “That’s who Mike Lee and Rand Paul are siding with — with Edward Snowden?” he added. “Come on.”

Everyone is piling up on Rand Paul. This will help differentiate Rand Paul from the crowded field even more.
Uh - no. Rand Paul would rather see Snowden rot in jail. He's no different than the rest of the neocons and leftists in that regard. How do the GOP's 2016 hopefuls feel about Edward Snowden? Jeb Bush The former Florida governor is a big fan of the NSA, dubbing its surveillance programs "the best part of the Obama administration." So it's no surprise he said last week that Snowden "is not a hero." "He violated US law. That's why he's living large in Moscow, the land of freedom," Bush said with a hint of irony. Chris Christie Speaking on Fox News Wednesday, Christie, a former U.S. attorney, called Snowden a "criminal" and accused Paul and other reformers of siding with the leaker. "He's a criminal and he's hiding in Russia and he's lecturing to us about the evils of authoritarian government while he's living under the umbrella of Vladamir Putin," Christie said of Snowden. Marco Rubio The senator from Florida who announced his presidential campaign last month hasn't minced words on the NSA leaker, calling him a "traitor." Rubio even chalked up Snowden's leaks as "the single most damaging revelation of American secrets in our history" in remarks last year. Lindsey Graham The South Carolina senator has also been blunt about Snowden. "I don't think he's a hero. I believe he hurt our nation. He compromised our national security program designed to find out what terrorists were up to," Graham said after Snowden leaked classified documents to reporters. "I hope we'll chase him to the ends of the earth, bring him to justice." ***** Rand Paul: 'Snowden and Clapper should be in the same cell' ***** "Snowden is a traitor" Leftists and neocons agree - (Socialist Democrat) Harry Reid: “I think Snowden is a traitor.” John Boehner: “He’s a traitor.” (IRA Terrorist supporter) Rep. Peter King: “This guy is a traitor; he’s a defector.” (War Criminal and torture mastermind) Dick Cheney not only denounced Snowden as a “traitor” but also suggested that he might have shared information with the Chinese. This innuendo, as with Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, is more proof of Cheney’s unerring determination to be cosmically wrong. Snowden says : "Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and [Rep. Peter] King, the better off we all are." (Leftist gun-grabber and socialist) Feinstein said that Snowden had committed “an act of treason” in June after the former NSA contractor revealed he had leaked troves of classified NSA documents. John Bolton, who forced his first wife to participate in group sex, characterized Snowden’s actions as treason, and urged against any public talk of amnesty.
Since hugging and riding alone in a dark corner of AF1 with the terrorist, Christie has really gone off his rocker.
The more the GOP status quo condemn Rand Paul, the more I like him.

“That’s who Mike Lee and Rand Paul are siding with — with Edward Snowden?”
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
