in NY Times Editorial: "A Bad Call on Gay Rights" on AMERICAblog
It started with voting for Telecom Immunity when he explicitly said he would not support it. Then it was supporting government secrecy, mostly to cover up for the previous administration. Now it is supporting states rights. Oh not for something like regulating banks but for enforcing local bigotries. You see, we are a banana republic. What we need is a new party. We might get as many as 40% of the Democrats to join. While I really don't want to see the Republicans in charge, this isn't all that much different. Covering up for the Republicans guarantees another Iraq, another Abu Ghraib, another bank crisis, and other new mistakes for us all to pay for for years to come. The members of the new party can still caucus with the remaining Dems to pick the speaker of the house, etc. The main difference is that we may get enough votes to make a difference eventually.

John Aravosis He supported the Telecom Immunity bill and I didn't speak up.
He supported government secrecy, and I didn't speak up.
He supported ignoring war crimes, and I didn't speak up.
Then he came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.

in McCain Camp: If You Point Out Lies, You’re ‘In The Tank’ For Obama on The Washington Independent
Maybe if someone had pointed out Bush's Campaign lies in 2000 and 2004, we wouldn't be having this ridiculous discussion. Schmidt's lies are so easy to confirm. I guess he expects the same deference that Bush received. McCain is too smart a candidate for the Republicans. They would rather have a Democrat to kick then a smart Republican who won't do what he's told. Bush still thinks he is going to go down in history as the best and least understood President. He was so obviously bought and paid for that he would have to dense indeed to think virtually everyone didn't know that.
