UPDATE - I was a precinct captain for Obama. Anyone who knows me offline knows I'm 100% in his camp. I'm really surprised at the lack of any quality discussion. You can disagree, or ignore this. But don't call into question my 100% support for Obama. That's just ridiculous.
Imagine the coverage we would get if, at Obama's next event, people wore shirts saying Democrat against Immunity or something like that. We should not say we will or will not support Obama based on this vote - the alternative is unthinkable. But if a couple of thousand people showed up to say no to expanded surveillance powers, no to immunity, even Obama would sit up and take notice.
And he'd thank us.
There are things any politician wants to say and do, but can't because the media will turn against him. But if we show the media we are the majority (if we even are, which at this point I doubt), the media would at least give us some airtime.
If we don't provide Obama political coverage with our BODIES, not just our words on a blog, why should we expect him to put his body on the line for us?
