This would be, what, reason No. 232 to not vote for Obama. I don’t give a damn if The Dallas Morning News’ Michael Landauer (not the sharpest knife in their editorial drawer, IMO) is flogging him along with 5,000 other people.
First, he voted to invade Iraq.
Second, he was one of the Democratic 45 percenters who voted to amend FISA.
Third, he’s piss-poor on gay rights.
In other words, he’s right with Obama on No. 2, probably somewhere in Obama's neighborhood on No. 3, and had Obama actually been in the Senate in 2002, might have been in Obama's neighborhood on No. 1.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
