Obama thinks the Telecoms deserve a pass for wiretapping. Well then he gets a pass from me. He's done. I supported him after Hillary dropped out, for the good of a united Democratic party, though I've never been one of his zombies. But now it's done. I don't care whether he would have seemed weak on terrorism. I don't care that the bill would have passed anyway. He should have taken a stand. He should have done what was right for this country.

My candidate of choice, Hillary, did. So I'm writing Hillary on the ballot come November. Screw it. I can't support a man who believes those bastards get a free pass. Privacy means nothing, apparently, and it's just about time to bail from this soon to be fascist state. We already have the turn in your neighbor signs ("If you see something, say something.") and we're about 2 years away from a national Id (SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS). Time to fight back. Supporting a "more of the same" candidate isn't a way to fight back.

I've realized over the past few weeks that I'm a Libertarian anyhow, especially on Civil Rights issues. Primary to me is the 1st amendment, but privacy is a very close second. This is beyond the pale and unacceptable. Obama claimed to be a different kind of candidate, a candidate who stood for strong moral character. Well, he just proved he has no character and that he's as weak and malleable as the rest of them.
