101. You State He Has Valid Points
but then dismiss them by saying it's either Obama or McCain. This is true, but it doesn't make the issue go away nor is it really that constructive. This man wants to be President, to uphold the law and take a vow to the people that he will be his best, the best option for America, but what about our constitutional rights? Independents see this... a lot of folks believe it or not aren't sure who ether candidate really is... but they will hear about this if they haven't already seen it. My question is this: who the hell advised him to not fillibuster?!

Showing fear by not standing up for our rights is not politically smart nor is it making me any more hopeful.

I understand what you are saying but all too often we hear that we are being "purists" and just upset because the man doesn't match our ideals perfectly! That is a ridiculous conclusion and it's usually made by those who would rather just sweep this all under the rug. But that's right there the biggest problem with this government and it's voters.

I personally am done with giving any one a pass, regardless of the situation and if we Americans, regardless of political ideology want REAL CHANGE, We need to lead by example, because as we already know, politicians do not lead, they follow....

I already gave the man passes for other issues, but this is not something Ican just sweep under the rug, at least right now. The Constitution is not to be used for political posturing... it's where I have to draw the line. We've have all seen enough of this and is why we as a country are so morally and principlally corrupt. We need to CHANGE that and expect and demand more, not less.
