The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more. Galloway is a repulsive, dishonest, bigoted sack of excrement.

He spoke in an empty senate for days on the wrongness of the Iraq War, holding his copy of the constitution high in the air as he eloquently spoke of the horrors of war.

Amazing orator. His speech on the floor of the Senate opposing the vote was everything. His passion, his speech in the emptiness of that chamber was heartbreaking.

I hope more add to this thread.
