Constitutional rights cover more than just FISA, and that vote just crapped on the fourth amendment in a big way.
I don't compromise on constitutional rights, particularly when dealing with a vote that just gave the President complete and utter immunity for the crimes he committed as well as expanded his powers.
I don't want President Bush or President Obama or President McCain to have those powers at his disposal. You call it short-sighted and emotive, that's your prerogative.
Lastly, when I see two people, neither of whom are willing to actually uphold and defend the constitution, then it doesn't mean a hell of difference to me who sits there.
The top job of the President is to uphold and defend the constitution. If neither will do it, what does it matter?

Companies that participate in the bailout should have that restriction placed upon them.
That was expected coming out of the RNC. It'll settle again in a few days.
Again, EV count, not popular vote, is what elects the president on a national level.
Just keep that in mind and check out my diary again. :)
all deep blue already for Obama. This is talking about going on offense to get even more. :)
The difference is that those state polls I mentioned were Bush states by 10-25pts. The states Kerry won are all deep blue.

I actually don't care about a landslide popular vote win. My point was about EVs.
Make sense?
Great post. Tipped and recced. :)

your commentary on this is really telling. power means more than principle apparently.
whatever.

I got the $450 I donated refunded actually, and I closed my coffers to Obama permanently due to the FISA bs.
Sorry, I don't reward the crappy behavior of politicians with unfettered support.
