Maher said, ?If this was happening under Bush, liberals would be apoplectic. I?m sorry, but liberals are just sometimes useless Obama hacks without a shred of intellectual honesty.?

This is the problem with power it corrupts. This is why so many argued against Bush's massive invasion Into our privacy with the patriot act and the NSA spying. You allow this stuff to happen because you are ok with the guy you have right now, but guess what the next guy and the next guy gets that same power. Never do they willingly give it up.
The NSA spying is just like the war on drugs they start the ball rolling and lots of federal dollars start pouring in and suddenly there are new jobs in this senators state or that one which will be taken away if they vote to stop it.
This is the same reason that Boing operates in all 50 states, because by doing that, they have leverage with the state representatives due to being a big employer and it means it's very unlikely that any congressman will vote against spending bills related to Boing. The NSA is the same concept, the giant machine has started so now trying to kill it, hurts the congressmen in their own states, because you can bet your ass just about every state is getting federal funds that have something related to the NSA.
