2. He was one of the not voting

It doesn't excuse him, especially since he has indicated he would not have voted no

9. He said he did not support telecom immunity

So why would he "not vote no" on this?

3. If this is your litmus test

then it would appear that neither of the final two candidates cut the mustard.

10. Obama wasn't even there

Do we want him campaigning to be president or do we want him to sit around in DC waiting for votes?

6. Both my Senators are on that too brief list

I almost always feel well represented in D.C.

8. We've been sold down the river.

Our rights aren't just leaking away, it's a
veritable flood now.

Our congresspersons and senators have betrayed
the American people in a very big and profound
way.
