Retroactive-Immunity, Amnesty and Having it both Ways
Based on the most conservative estimates, there are over 10 million illegal immigrants in this country, but we all reasonably suspect that the number is considerably much higher. In spite of the vitriol spewed by the marginal Lou Dobbs sector...more »

John McCain's Logic on Clark's Coup Fatal
If I were John McCain, I too would also be suspicious and would be entertaining the notion that I had been hit with an attack-by-surrogate by a campaign that will subsequently deny having done so. I would view Clark as...more »

The per-Gallon Cost of White Flight
We have all seen those poor desperate teenagers. They walk the polished floors past the Footlocker, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Urban Outfitters, awkwardly making their way to the food court, breathing the conditioned air, and clinging along that friend who...more »

Obama’s Ideological Gap Bridging Along the Continental Divide (2nd attempt)
Colorado, New Mexico, and the other mountain states, home of some of America’s most independent-minded, live-and-let-live inhabitants, have taken notice of Barack Obama’s message. As many Obamicans across the country, they have responded to this audaciously and unapologetically liberal democrat...more »

We do not share premises. All the best.

Do you seriously believe there will be no difference between McCain and Obama's appointees to cabinet positions, nominees to the supreme court, foreign policy, energy and environmental policy, economic policies? Are you fucking with me? Until now I was trying to have a serious discussion here with you.

a. McCain is evil. End of discussion.
b. I took this blogpost to be about the Fourth being your "must-have" issue. My bad.

I prefer TPMs usage of the term "cave." It calls it what it is without presuming to understand the event behind the curtain.

Pray no, treason better describes Miller, Lieberman and Richard Cohen. At this stage, though, abandoning our side in this war would be desertion, even if it is principled.

Well John McCain, you asked for it. Don't cry when the gun responds to your knife.

When socialist prime-minister Lionel Jospin lost on the first round of the 2002 French presidential elections to right-wing extremist Jean-Marie LePen, the left found themselves holding their nose and voting for moderate right incumbent, Jacques Chirac, just to defeat the racist, xenophobic extremist. These people, in spite of how viscerally distasteful they found Chirac and his politics, came out in droves to assure the defeat of LePen because of the stakes involved. Even many people who were apathetic to the system came out to save their country from this dangerous turn.
To what extent are we going to ignore the implications of this election and throw the baby out with the bathwater because of FISA?

Previous discussions criticised the candidate or defended the right to criticism. This thread is about actually not voting for him. There is a clear distinction in my view. I defended the former but not the latter.

I do find FISA reprehensible, but I am to blame in part for the nomination of the candidate who embraced this position. Therefore, I swallow the bitter medicine for the party.
Rather than name-calling or insulting, my point is that we who were Obama supporters during the primary cannot just turn away from the party now that it is stuck with our candidate.

Exactly. I cannot honorably or ethically bolt on my own at this point. The parachute would indeed need to be collective.
