Learn the difference between "bashing" and "criticism"
Remember when we used to hate illegal wiretapping? If you believe that criticising Obama for his FISA vote is "bashing" or "purity trolling," then you need to take your meds.

1. so the only thing that matters is the topic? Not the rhetoric?

2. Isn't that funny?
I liked it better when we all thought illegal wiretapping sucked.

4. How times have changed
And, sadly, mostly not for the better.

6. There is a line between criticism and bashing--some knowingly and joyfully cross it
and they don't give a damn. They may also hope that Obama loses so he can be "taught a lesson". I wonder if they have imagined how life would be under President McCain?

7. Oh, I'll vote for Obama and hope he wins
But I find it pretty sad that the only reason for that is because he's not McCain.

I've tried to give him a chance (what other choice do I have?) but it isn't easy when he keeps letting me down.

8. Criticism is rationale and hopefully factually based - bashing lacks real knowlege and substance
