Peter King (R-NY), a leader of the coming "moderate reasonable GOP", justifies spying

[Spiderman]

The reality of it all is that we have been spying on other countries even allies since the beginning of our country and in all that time Obama was the only pres stupid enough to get caught red handed.

Can somebody explain how spying on the entire world, 60 million phone calls in Spain in a single year and 70 million in France (Spanish Media: NSA 'Spied on 60 Million Phone Calls' | TIME.com), and trying to pass this off as targeting "terrorists" is somehow the "moderate" and "reasonable" position to take?

It was irony. Mr. King is anti-Tea party, so the media likes him.

It looks like the so called "GOP moderate business wing" is pro-business with taxpayers money: pro-war and mass espionage.

I got that you were being sarcastic, but some people actually believe it.
