I was an Edwards supporter. Relectantly I moved to Obama. Over the last couple months I got excited. I voted for him here in Wisconsin and even had a sign. I was going to order my signs, buttons and bumper stickers this week. No I am sad to say it is over. I cannot support a man that gives his support to this crap legislation that will give retroactive immunity to the telecoms and the bushites.
Where is the man that was willing to filibuster a few short months ago. This new bill is not any better. Oh the language was prettied up, and provisions added. All to make us stupid saps, called the american public, think that our legislative branch really cared about our rights. Well this bill proves that except for a few champions like Feingold and Dodd, the rest have sold their souls for their 30 shekel.
I have no idea what I will do for the presidential contest. Probably just sit it out. I will send my support and money to the individual progressive candidates that are out there. Barack Obama and the DNC can rot for all I care if they are complicit in the passing of this crap.
I will not support Obama unless comes around. I don't hold out much hope. The audacity of hope? How dare he. I was on my way to have that audacity. I guess it was just a waste of time, energy and spirit.
Maybe we should have a draft movement.
RUSS FEINGOLD FOR PRESIDENT
