WASHINGTON— The revelations this week of broad government spying on U.S. citizens have at least been able to foster something Washington hasn’t seen in a long time: bipartisanship.
Article PhotoA new breed of conservatives in the House and Senate, unattached to Bush-era policies and keenly aware of the ascendant libertarian strand of the GOP, are joining long-time Democratic critics in their outrage over the NSA programs.
“There will be bipartisan criticism but unfortunately there will also be bipartisan defense,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat who joined more than a dozen conservatives in signing a letter to the FBI and NSA questioning the programs. . “How the numbers add up on each side of the equation we’ll wait and see.”
kinda hard to feel good about anything perceived as positive and connected to the right wing as seriously gonna work, Beohner would say  yes to Pres. and the T-Per's would slap it down in minutes.  so a "NEW BREED" to me just means say guys that change the way the say no, to "NEIN"?
republicans are forever seeking advantage points mainly because their cupboard is bare is this in the tea leaves or are they flying under the radar waiting for a target?
Lofgren pointed to the statements made by Senate Intellegence Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein and ranking member Saxby Chambliss.
The pair defended the phone records program on Thursday as an essential tool for collecting information on suspected terrorists that had been going for years.
“It is proved meritorious, because we have gathered significant information on bad guys, but only on bad guys, over the years,” Chambliss said.
The letter Lofgren signed was circulated by Rep. Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican who has taken up the libertarian mantel former Rep. Ron Paul held in the House.
still the final ok has not been given and the right wing is still in a state of limbo until it figures out ow to manipulate this or not.  keeping your enemies close is not always a good idea.  smiling faces,
