Reply #23: We all have different priorities...

[scheming daemons]

Some might have a greater stake in reproductive rights than GLBT rights.

Some might care more about EFCA and union concerns while others care more about the environment.

Some might care more about executive branch over-reach (wiretaps) while others are more concerned about hate crimes.



If Obama picks someone who doesn't understand the sanctity of the 4th amendment... if he picks someone who is unwilling to restore the 4th amendment after it was shattered by the Bushies post-9/11... then *MY* ox would have been gored.

You might have an issue that is most important to you.



In other words... a group of people is going to be more pissed than another group of people based on what their priorities are. We know that the most pissed of all will be the right (which is good).

But some on the left who emotionally invested in a particular issue... or trait for the next justice... will be disappointed. It is impossible for Obama to fulfill each of our "wish lists".

So... disappointment by some is inevitable.

The question is... on the whole... is the person a good candidate? Even if they weren't your PERFECT candidate?
