The same people who support Hillary no matter what, on all issues, are the same ones whoare completely against Snowden, no matter what he did for us. From past arguments, the plain truth is they are against Snowden because he made Obama (D) look bad. These same people are for Hillary (D) - regardless of the big, red arrow pointing to the right preceding (D).

In conclusion, the issues don't matter. They support (D) as a religion. They have faith in it. Regardless what the effects of those who have the (D), they support the (D) with religious fervor. Unfortunately, just like with religion, it opens people up to abuses by the preists.
