Americans Just Aren't That Upset About the NSA Thing

The Dems and their lefty counterparts are all a'twitter over the NSA spying thing, and when not crying for impeachment, are at least demanding that the rest of us feel their pain. Apparently, we're not cooperating. Take a look at three questions from the latest Fox Opinion Dynamics Poll (h/t Powerline):
29. When you hear of government officials anonymously leaking top-secret national security information to the press, are you more inclined to think of the officials as patriots who are blowing the whistle because they think something illegal might be going on, or traitors who are leaking government secrets and possibly causing harm to the country?

Whistle-blowers: 27%
Traitors: 50%
Not sure: 23%

30. Do you think the president should or should not have the power to authorize the National Security Agency to monitor electronic communications of suspected terrorists without getting warrants, even if one end of the communication is in the United States?

Should: 58%
Should not: 36%
Not sure: 6%

31. In an effort to identify terrorist activity, do you think the president should or should not have the power to authorize the National Security Agency to do computer searches of large numbers of international phone calls coming in and out of the United States without getting warrants?

Should: 60%
Should not: 34%
Not sure: 7%
This is not good news for the Dem plans to continue flogging this dead horse.
