So what if the WH did leak info?

If it benefits Democrats and progressive causes, I really don't care. You heard that right, Republicans. I really don't care.

Do you care that Republicans are redrawing districts in order to tip elections in their favor?

Do you care if Republicans are trying to destroy unions to take election money away from democrats?

No?

Then I don't care what my president does that makes life easier for democrats and more difficult for Republicans.

In my eyes, my President can do no wrong in that respect.

Redistricting and chopping at the constituencies of the other party, on the other hand, are not illegal acts.

There IS a difference.

The Republicans also negotiated with the North Vietnamese, bargained with the Iranians for hostages, gave weapons to terorrists groups and outed a CIA agent to win elections. How's that for illegal?

If the republicans are degenerate asshole douchebags who break the law and commit treason, let us do the same.

Rise above them, don't sink to their level.

We know Bush Cheney did just that.

We know McCain would have to win.

We know Romney would sell the info.

We know if the leaks didn't show success they would be talking about how week our CIC is rather than the leak.

So, I really don't care.
