More about the Yule Goat
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,"
"It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
and shall remain forever
Everyone who voted for this monstrosity is an enemy of the Constitution and America as far as I'm concerned.

And his waflling on Iraq is even worse.

They may as well just rescind the 4th Amendment and let the the fascists have their way.
Obama voted WITH THEM and AGAINST US.
For caving in on FISA, as well as for flip-flopping on campaign financing and back-tracking on withdrawal from Iraq, why didn't you call Obama a "horrible human being", a "sick piece of shit", or say "Fuck you", as you did with Hillary?
Because you're nothing but a sick, disgusting, mindless, pathetic Obama whore, pure and simple.

Hillary voted AGAINST FISA because she knew that Obama would vote FOR it while understanding how many of his supporters were against that move. She's merely exercising her political "prowess" (?).
Only time will tell...
By the way, nice to see the way you hold up your end of being friends with someone online. Well done Busboy, I see that your memory is a bit shaky as well as your support for being against rumor mongering...
Disagreeing with your opinion on issues is hardly breaking any "TRUCE", which suggests that we once were fighting and decided to call a halt to it. Nothing could be further from the truth Busboy and you know that. I befriended you from the start and stood up for you against all odds here.
But that's OK, it seems that doesn't matter much to you, good to know that now.
Obama has shown all of us, today, that he is unworthy of the highest elected office in the land.
If a presidential candidate votes AGAINST the Bill of Rights he/she has NO BUSINESS holding ANY elected office.
We have been taken by a smooth talking sell-out who stands against each and every American citizen and all that holds us together as a nation.
I will not vote for McCain, but I will most certainly not vote for Obama either.
At least Hillary had the balls to vote against FISA. Too bad Obama cannot show the same fortitude.
Better luck next election cycle, I suppose.

I'm in tears right now, with the Medicare bill passing with a veto proof vote. I give Ted Kennedy the full credit for making this happen. It was as important to him as it was to us. It's an absolute miracle it passed 69 to 30. It didn't look good at all, and I'm shocked! As a cancer survivor that is looking at Medicare next February, I couldn't breathe all day worrying about what these politicians were about to do to us. I'm so exhausted worrying about keeping my health coverage, and this is the final hurdle! The one dream I still have is for Obama to reach the Presidency, and Ted Kennedy and Elizabeth Edwards to still be kicking as Obama signs the " Kennedy-Edwards Universal Healthcare Plan for all Americans"!
As I'm writing this, my daughter is sitting in Emergency with her husband who is 43. He's about to go into surgery for an infected gall bladder. She's in tears with worry, and I keep reminding her that they have an excellent healthcare policy, and the finest doctors and hospital, and picture going through this as one of the multi millions of Americans who have no coverage at all!
We have to get this country to a place where everyone has that simple right!
Your story is not unique however and proves to us all just how crucial our health coverage is within our society. Even though I know many disagree, I am pro Universal Health coverage and hope that if and when Obama is the President he signs it into service. We all know for a fact that this will never happen if McCain happens to become our next leader.
I was a card-carrying ACLU member until they took the side of private money in broadcast. Now, I'm not giving them a dime
"What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!... Patrick Henry" … March 23, 1775
Seems back in the day, people were willing to place thier lives on the line for what they believed in. Today, government goes to the higest bidder and to hell with the republic. Good night and good luck.
Humping the hope and change ponies doesn't help if you don't have the stones to mean it Barack.

Will any candidate please step forward and announce WHICH of the Amendments listed in the Bill of Rights they will support? WHICH they will ignore? WHICH they will vote to over rule?
Can we have a candidate who will wrap themselves with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead of caving to those who would destroy those documents and ideals?
If today's vote does not rattle you to the bones of being an American, a citizen of the United States, a nation under law, then you have no idea what patriotism is about.
Wow, the keyboard did that in caps w/o my permission....
Personally, I think both are odious.
Just to let you know, Obama is not my candidate. I will not be voting for him because he is a lap dog to the oligarchy.
Your delusional if you think mcstupid is anywhere near progressive. I've seen this fol-de-rol you call "Decision 2008" and find it a complete fraud, and I've been blogging about it for several years.
It's phony from the word go.
Its puppet show 2008.
Yeah, he isn't as bad as McInsane, but he ISN'T the saint some of us wanted him to be. No, I will still vote for him, but I will hold my nose and hope that someday we will stop nominating Republican Lite candidates like Obama.
Bottom line, we are stuck with Obama. Voting for McInsane is no answer and a Nader vote will only hurt us (Supreme Court anyone?!?!?!)
Obama is the candidate of "CHANGE". I wonder how much his views will change in order to win this election.
However, I think all is not lost. FISA is new legislation that will require new rules and regs. Bush may write some of these, but I think Obama can change them.
In the meantime, I will support the ACLU efforts.
You have to remember, not only is he Republican-Lite, he has no experience. That's the deadliest of all!
I, for one, am thoroughly confounded, and sickened by their behavior.
