You could certainly see your expertise in the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart.

The problem isn’t with Obama, it’s the fact that they don’t have 60 votes. It’s pretty simple arithmetic folks. Lieberman is the ######, not Obama.

Brad: Love the Jefferson quote.
Reminds me of a teacher I had who gave a magnificent and moving speech about “Rectitude” -
* Moral uprightness; righteousness.
* The quality or condition of being correct in judgment.
*The quality of being straight
We are hungry for it and need it to survive…but we are starving: Congress, President, Supreme Court, their staffs, Corporations, Lobbyists, Police and the list could go on.
The government was set up for the people, but if the people can’t handle it the politicians and businessmen will.

Obama just lost my vote. I am now voting for Nader. I don’t care if McCain wins. Screw them all.

Thank you for enlightening us ObamaforPresident. Because I thought what Bush did was already against the law. And it is to late “pull immunity” they already have it. Your “big picture” has no principles.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson

some of you just don’t get it; instead of going back and forth and nothing gets done this was a compromise that will prevent the likes of Bush and McCain from doing so again without a warrantand in the interim he has written (co) a bill that will pull the immunity issue. Sometimes we don’t pay attention to the big picture we just go along with the crowd…read people and try to keep up.

Obama is an absolute fraud. His word means nothing. He is just an elitist who cannot be trusted.

Obama’s vote is deeply disturbing on so many levels. Will he shift his position on other important issues, even though they do not reach towards perfect outcomes? Is there any difference between Obama and any other politician?

Sure, Hillary may vote NO in FISA, but voters understood what NO votes she may have cast for other bills. Hindsight is always 20/20.
