So I am just as disappointed. We were quite literally hoodwinked. But here is the question. What are you going to do in the general election when we are faced with the very real possibility of a Republican president. Both parties are to blame for their record on civil rights. But look at this link regarding the Patriot Act:

If you are looking to build on any existing opposition you're looking at the Dems. I think we need a major overhaul and I'm hoping there is enough anger to just throw an unprecedented number of reps out when the elections come. Hopefully then we can start trying to push the Dems to the left in the way the Republican activists have successfully pushed the Republicans (and the Dems by extension) to the right. I dunno. It is such an uphill battle.

But the bottom line is that I don't want to vote for Obama but I really really really don't want a Republican in the White House. Yes, I am one of those people that do in fact believe that that would be worse, -not the same.
