Poster Comment: Click on the first link above to go to McConnel's Senate website and read the Senator's own words begging Obama for increased police state tyranny, and the elimination of all national and personal security. from the begging-to-undermine-american-security dept
He should tell us what legal authorities he needs to defeat encrypted online communications, and what is needed to reestablish our capture, interrogation, and surveillance capabilities.
"Defeat encrypted online communications"? Is he crazy? We need encrypted online communications to better protect us, and yet McConnell is trying to undermine those communications. He's actively proposing to make us all less safe. And, of course, talking about "reestablishing" our "surveillance capabilities" is about giving the NSA more surveillance powers. McConnell was, of course, the key person who tried to block any attempt at rolling back the NSA's unconstitutional phone records collection program.
Now, we know that President Obama didn't go quite as far as McConnell asked, but he did still push for a more "voluntary" solution -- which may morph into Congress doing something if people don't speak out loudly about what an incredibly dumb idea this is.

No. Ditch Mitch.
LOL ! He is a real piece of work. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

It is like banning door locks (or making them weak) to help police to fight crime. So they can do secret searches in the suspected burglar's houses.
The poll released by Morning Consult finds McConnell is the only senator with a disapproval rating higher than 50 percent. McConnell has a 52 percent disapproval rating among Kentucky voters, while only 38 percent approve of his job performance. People hate him, But vote for whomever Fox News tells them to, Mitch Obamas Bitch. Voting for someone who doesn't want to destroy America, like an independent or third party is not an option for TV viewing sheeple. It's Fox News (R), or MSNBC (D). You're a Conspiracy Theory freak if you believe that other options exist.
