Instead of looking for asylum, Snowden should be looking for a good lawyer!
Quoted Text
Snowden’s argument isn’t doing particularly well in the court of public opinion, which seems more inclined to the government’s view that Snowden is a fugitive from criminal justice and therefore subject to various authorities of law enforcement.
Several supporters organized rallies on July 4 in cities around the US, but total turnout was around 3,000. The biggest rally, in Washington DC, weighed in at an estimated 400.

The Time The U.S. Gave Asylum to a Guy Who Leaked Classified Documents
Political asylum is a weird idea: One country gets to tell another country: We think your criminal is actually a hero and he can come live here, so buzz off. Pretty annoying if you're the country trying to get the criminal, and the U.S. is really pissed that some countries and human rights groups are helping out NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden, currently holed up in Moscow's airport, in his quest for asylum. After all, the U.S. would never think of shielding someone accused of illegally leaking another country's classified information, right?
Ha ha, of course we would. Take the case of Swiss whistleblower Michel Christopher Meili, highlighted recently by the blog Document Exploitation. In 1997, Meili, then a 29-year-old security guard at UBS bank, pilfered documents that contained account information related to assets stolen by the Nazis in the Holocaust. The documents were slated to be destroyed, but Meili gave them to a Jewish organization instead; the revelations ultimately led to a $1.25 billion settlement between Swiss banks and Holocaust victims.
The Swiss government was not thrilled. They began investigating Meili for violating banking secrecy laws, alleging that the documents he'd taken were classified. Meili fled to the U.S. (a move known as the "Reverse Snowden"). There he was welcomed as a hero, and Congress even wrote a special law granting Meili and his family permanent residency.

Sen. Graham suggests US boycott Winter Olympics in Russia over Snowden President Obama should consider boycotting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia if the Cold War-era foe gives asylum to Edward Snowden, Sen. Lindsey Graham told The Hill on Tuesday.
“I would. I would just send the Russians the most unequivocal signal I could send them,” Graham (R-S.C.) said when asked about the possibility of a boycott.
“It might help, because what they’re doing is outrageous,” he said. “We certainly haven’t reset our relationship with Russia in a positive way. At the end of the day, if they grant this guy asylum it’s a breach of the rule of law as we know it and is a slap in the face to the United States.”

Nixon wiretapped others in the political class. People that had power in government. That's a no-no. Wiretapping the mundane, no big deal. We are all considered potential terrorists anyways.
It looks like Ron Paul has some Unexplained $hit on his hand!

We are all guilty until proven innocent, but by that time, we will be destroyed so it will be too late. haha jokes on us
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Yup. Ron/Rand Paul are Republicans. So please don't include them in your rant, unless for some reason you exclude them from the Republican Logo.
