Senator Obama and the Cheney Doctrine
Now that Senator Obama has come out in favor of the FISA "compromise", there seems to be a major effort underway to convince us that the bill isn't really that bad, after all -- or at least that it's not...more »

That's that
Barring the traditional live man or dead woman, Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee. It is now incalculably important that we invite Hillary Clinton and her supporters to join us in defeating John McCain, and putting the country on...more »

Hillary's Combustible Fairy Urine Proposal
Nothing really new, here: I'd just like to emphasize something we all already know. Senator Clinton and Senator McCain, in the matter of the proposed "Gas Tax Holiday", are deliberately lying to us because they think that we're stupid, and...more »

Do We Really Want To Do This
In spite of the pointless, inane intra-party squabbling which has consumed the irreplaceable first months of this year, until this morning I was convinced that even the Democratic party was incapable of kicking away THIS election. Even we, with our...more »

I'm with you on this. It's not at all obvious to me that Obama needed to join in the Democratic capitulation on FISA in order to win. In fact, the theory that Democratic presidential candidates gain by strutting around pretending to be "tough" on this or that doesn't really seem to hold much water anymore. Obama would have looked tougher had he come out against the bill and exercised his enormous rhetorical talent in explaining what was wrong with it. As it is, he looks about as tough as, well, Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi.
But, like you, I'm still voting for him.Posted at June 27, 2008 3:17 PM in response to How Expedient Is Obama's Support for the FISA Bill? (redux)

That appears to be the problem, if anybody else is interested. I just risked annoying the heck out of everybody to test my theory -- and, posting from a Mac in Safari, if you want a double line break, you have to hit return *four* times.
Weird, but it's good to know.

Hmm. My keyboard doesn't have an "enter button". It has a return key, and I can get a new line with that. The problem is, I can't get TWO new lines, as so many people seem able to do. This diminishes my ability to make my posts all purty.
And, now that you mention it, the lack of an enter button may be the problem. Does movable type have a line feed issue with certain OS/Browser combinations?

fabooj, I've always known that Obama was well to my right. I'm fine with that. Caving in to the Bush administration's wish list on FISA is not "centrist" -- it's craven and foolish. It allows the GOP to advance their Constitution-gutting agenda, and it makes Democrats look weak and waffling. It gives up a major point without compensation, and it won't help us win the election. Obama is, it appears, allowing the usual suspects to move in on his campaign, and getting some very bad advice.

Goldspinner -- Official Acronyms? Do we have an acronym board, now?
I think POTUS was probably a Secret Service thing originally. The first time I heard it used with any frequency was on The West Wing.

...but there's a difference between policy dispute and treason. When one adopts a position that one's culture and government are the source of all evil and must be destroyed I'd say it's the latter.
Hmm... and who, precisely, would you say is the Democratic Party's leading exemplar of this position?

Well, I'm sure as hell not going to just take the word of Lyndon Larouche on this. No, sir. I'm going to wait and see what the Reverend Moon has to say, as well.

hrebendorf, sweetie, you beat me to "Sweetiegate".
I swear, every time you think the American political system has gotten as infantile as it can possibly get, it jumps right up and outdoes itself.

As for racism, when an African American Obama supporter harasses a pro-Clinton African American by calling him an "Uncle Tom" to ensure those "spontaneously" 90% African American vote, is that racism?
No, it's just ass-hattery. Do you have some proof that such behavior has been occurring on a widespread basis?
