Oh look, a convenient study! People LIKE ubiquitous surveillance.

A convenient study from the Pew Research Center for People and the Press.  "Majority Views NSA Phone Tracking as Acceptable Anti-terror Tactic"

Interesting datum from withing the study, as noted on the Drudge Report, DemocRat partisans like the NSA under Obama, hated it under Bush. Table from the article:

The convenient part comes in when you consider that the Bush admin statement says they were getting court orders, while the Obama admin are not. One of those is not like the other.

Next table:

Convenient again, because as we know considerable monitoring of guys they KNEW were dirty did not prevent the Boston Marathon bombing. Ask the question plainly, "Should government be able to monitor EVERYTHING YOU DO ON-LINE for purposes unstated?"

Funny how these types of studies pop up suddenly whenever Barry steps on his whatsit.
