Roll of the Dice

Remember, back in the day, when Democrats were all united against Bush & Co?

I wrote a post about torture and that if we are torturing in order to defeat the terrorists we have become the terrorists.

What I see now is that many, many "democrats" in order to defeat the GOP have become the GOP.

Damn our Principles, full steam ahead.

Senator Obama lies to win the nomination stating in writing he'll take public financing if the Republican nominee does the same. Garners the support of Newspapers and progressives for his stance.

Turns out he can really raise the dough so he declines public financing in lieu of outspending John McCain.

His faithful Obamanation think it's great. He is using public financing because the money comes from the public. He's not using tax payer dollars, isn't he great? Yeah, ok, but he lied.

Senator Obama put a statement up on his web site in February of this year stating that he will never support a bill on Fisa that includes Telecom Immunity.

What happens when the bill comes up? He and Harry Reid will "try" to take immunity out but we have to fight the terrorists, by giving up our rights. Oh, and he'll change it once he's president. And isn't it terrible that the House Democrats put him in this position? Why couldn't they have waited until he's President?

He's willing to gamble with your fourth amendment rights. But the Obamanation knows what he really means, because, well, he's a constitutional lawyer/professor. And McCain is worse! If McCain wins he'll have all this power that Senator Obama will vote to give the president so we have to vote for Obama because he'll give it back because he says he will.

Does your head hurt? Are your eyes crossed?

Glen Greenwald has a story up on Salon about Olbermann. You know, that crazy guy who had a special comment about Fisa and telecom immunity a few short months ago? How it was the end of the world as we know it? Until Senator Obama says it not.

One of the comments was - this is where I draw the line in the sand. I cannot vote for Obama if he votes for the bill with immunity in it. I cannot vote for him if he doesn't filibuster.

Does the Obamanation have a line in the sand? Right now, I'm going with no. They trust his "words" even when his actions say the opposite.

Back when I was still a Democrat I was accused repeatedly of being a Republican because I cannot vote for Obama.

Turns out the Obamanation are the Republicans. They are no different from the Bush faithful who back their man no matter what. Nothing can make them question their faith in Dear Leader.
