I am so upset with not only Barak Obama but all the Democrats.

First let me say, I am a Democrat. Not because I believe in socialism but because I hate the politics of oil, corporate welfare, and, let's face it, the Republicans have not shown themselves to be the fiscally conservative party most argue them to be. Additionally, I hate the war, the current administration's foreign policy, and the domestic security policies.

I'll be frank, I don't have any real ideas for an alternative domestic security policy, but I voted Democratic in the last election, was proud the Dems won the House, and was looking forward to a national dialog on alternatives.

However, no dialog has occured and no change has come. The Dems vote for every Bush bill for which he asks, including war funding and the latest domestic eavesdropping plan with retro-immunity for the TelCos. I simply don't understand why the Dems are not putting up a fight. Remember when Newt and Dole were on the 'tube with golf bags over their shoulders when the Republicans didn't want to approve Clinton's budget? Yes, they lost that fight, but they fought! A majority of the American voters were behind Clinton, at that time, but now they are behind the House, not the administration. Where are the Dems alternative ideas and plans? My gosh, how can we support these people who do nothing to stop the madness?

Along comes Obama...I sure think he said he would filibuster any attempt to provide retro-immunity for the TelCos and I sure think he said he would vote against the eavesdropping domestic security goals of the Bush administration, but he just recently voted for the bill, which included the retro-immunity!!!

I just don't get it and am almost in tears that, just after giving him the nomination thinking he would stand for principle more than would Hillary, who I thought would cave to her typically incorrect perceptions of prevailing political winds, he flips on something that was adamantly a component of his platform.

Does this mean we have to vote for Nader?
