And that's saying something considering that all your posts are great.

 

The liberal blogosphere's overreaction to Obama's vote on FISA has been ridiculous. It seems everyone has been threatening to withhold donations and volunteer work if Obama doesn't vote their way. I equate those single-issue FISA voters with single-issue abortion voters. It's an important issue and I don't agree with his vote, BUT expecting Obama to expend all his political capital -- remember he's still a Jr Senator and not President yet -- on a largely symbolic battle is stupid. There are more important and pertinent issues like, oh I don't know, the nosediving economy, Iraq, health care, education, and the energy crisis.

 

I'm honestly jealous of those chicken littles though. Their financial situations are strong enough so that they can support a candidate solely based on these wedge issues. Then again, I have a feeling those same people threatening to not donate and not volunteer never really did much of either beforehand. Anyway, thanks for bringing a fresh breath of air into a liberal blogosphere that is oftentimes disconnected from reality.
