Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support

Corrupt writes "I've admired Obama, but I never confused him with a genuine progressive leader. Today I don't admire him at all. His collapse on FISA is unforgivable. The only thing Obama has going for him this week is that McCain is matching him misstep for misstep."

  9. Child Rapists? by davevr · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not just FISA, there's also the death penalty for child rapists

    I think death penalty for child rapists is a little harsh. I mean, if they are a child, they don't know that rape is wrong... What next, life in prison for child arsonists?

    hmm? what? oh... nevermind!
