    All of you who are apparently suffering from outrage fatigue, I want you to close your eyes and visualize Feinstein and Wyden.

    Can you see them? I want you to picture them.

    Now imagine they're Republicans.

    I want you to look up the fisa thread and see how democrats lit into obama for supporting it.

    just because you are a blind republican following sheep, we aren't. but thanks for the thoughtfull dialogue on the subject again.

    I didn't quote you because I like you, in case you feel like editing at some point.

    I edited the last part but I do feel like you support anything republican. I also like most of your posts and feel you are a reasonable guy therefore I don't know why you have been on this mission the last few months to prove that democrats are blind following sheep, or the "liberals" on this board will not criticize the dems. its simply not fact.

    I'm not suffering from outrage fatigue. I'm suffering from fatigue from a guy starting threads when he has no intention of any real kind of discussion or debate.

    feinstein went off the reservation a year and a half ago. this isn't new.

    she freaking voted for mukasey. at least schumer had nepotism as his defense. what was feinstein's?

    Agreed. A long time ago I had a mostly favorable opinion of her. I haven't liked her for at least 2 years.

    i'd happily have her run for gov and arnold be the senator. and arnold can stop pretending and run as a dem.

    sidenote. yall catch that hutchison has formed an exploratory committee for gov? bad news for perry, worse news for any dem wanting to run?

    thanks for confirming what i expected, there is no Obamamian, Democratic, gabrielesque principle at steak here, other than winning elections.

    can't say i'm surprised- so what was the change you voted for, just a clean face and an articulate voice?

    basso, Obama has not changed his position on torture. Obama's position on torture is part of the change we voted for.

    When you find something that says that Obama is changing his position on torture and interrogation to Bush's then a thread about there not being change would make sense. This thread makes sense to Bash 2 people neither one of whom is Obama.
