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.

Here we go again.

Enough Obama bashing.

Yes, FISA sucks. But you know what'll suck worse, losing this election to John McCain. Obama did not vote for FISA because he felt a deep need to piss off the left wing of his party. He voted for it because he doesn't need to hand the Republicans a bludgeon with which to hammer him for the next four months.

Democrats need to stop whining all the time. It's time to win dammit, it's time to win a damn election. It's time to put our trust behind a nominee and give him our support. If he doesn't deliver on important issues like health care and Iraq after we put him in the White House, then we have the right to complain. But to nitpick over his FISA vote is just that, nitpicking. One senator's vote on one bill is insignificant compared to what the man can do if he wins the Presidency and we finally have a decent person running this country.

I'm so sick of the whining, stop whining and get behind your candidate for once.
