74. We can either hold the man accountable for his actions or not...
Holding his feet to the fire is exactly what needs to be done, whether the timing is good or not is up to him, not us, simply because he's the one who pulled this stupid bullshit.

The guy is a centrist politician, so the fact that he pulled this at all is no surprise to me, and I haven't even commented on it until now. The only thing we know for sure is that he's not as bad as McCain, and because of lack of choice in this country, he's the only person left to vote for. However, this doesn't mean we should keep silent when he pulls stupid bullshit like supporting the FISA bill. Frankly, he deserves the criticism, and just remember this, he only shines in comparison to Bush/McCain, not on his own, so to make him shine on his own, to make him actually be worth voting for, we need to hold his feet to the fire, even when they start to blister, and never let up.
