Betrayed by Obama

The Democrat's FISA sellout is unforgivable, but he's counting on supporters having no place else to go. And McCain's nutty neocon Iran talk helps him make his case.

    Ceytron, this was NOT a winning issue for Republicans.

    Please, stop with the silly justifications. They hold no water. Dems who stand up for what they believe in, win. Dems who resort to the kind of "please, don't hurt me" cowering in the corner fear that leads to capitulation on fundamental constitutional right that you seem to advocate, lose.

    Obama committed an atrocity today. He voted to undermine a right so basic that the framers sought to enshrine it in the Bill of Rights. That's a deal breaker...but like Obama says...that's OK.

    Now then, shouldn't you be getting back to the flock of Demopublican sheeple? It's dangerous out here.
