On Edward Snowden, candidates were asked whether he was a traitor or a hero and whether he should be brought home. Hillary Clinton's answer: "He broke the laws of the United States," she said, and he could have raised the issues without breaking the law. "In addition, he stole very important information that has unfortunately fallen into the wrong hands. I don't think he should be brought home without facing the music." "Whistleblowers do not run to Russia," Martin O'Malley said. Bernie Sanders said that while Snowden broke the law, he also played an important role in educating the American people about the extent of surveillance. "He did break the law, and I think there should be a penalty to that," he said, clarifying that his role in educating the U.S. should factor into any punishment. Jim Webb said he would "leave his ultimate judgment to the legal system." "We have a serious problem in terms of the collection of personal information in this country," he added. Lincoln Chafee said he "would bring him home." "The American government was acting illegally, that's what the federal courts have said," Chafee added.

Lincoln Chaffee is the best of a bad lot.
Hard to believe, but he is better than Rand Paul on this issue. Rand Paul: "I'd Put James Clapper And Edward Snowden In The Same Jail Cell" During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Hard to believe, but he is better than Rand Paul on this issue. He is better than Rand Paul on other issues. Particularly on foreign policy. Too bad his rankings in the polls are even smaller than Rand's. He is the only Democrat I like this year and possibly the best that either party has to offer. John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: How to End the Refugee Flood For that matter so is Jim Webb.

Marxism: steal everything
Keynesianism: steal by counterfeiting whenever needed
Chicago school (Milton Friedman): steal by counterfeiting at a steady, predictable rate
Austrians: don't steal
