100% of "no" votes were Dems! |
|
being anti-torture is overwhelmingly a value of the democratic party!
The republicans almost exclusively own the pro-torture position.

13. Good for Jeffords, bad for us. |

How pathetic is the state of this party when a former Republican is voting consistently with REAL American values and some "Democrats" refuse to do so? FUCK YOU Holy Joe, Salazar, Landrieu and whomever else betrayed their country today.

And a majority of Democrats did vote no. The votes weren't there for a fillibuster anyway. It's fine to criticize the mee too Democrats who voted yes, but I still think that Republicans who all voted for him deserve even more criticism.

5. I am still confused by Spector's "bi-partisan" support statement... |

Democrats can be, but, Republican's can't be "bi-partisan". Though, personally, I doubt that most of the the Dems that voted Yes were not necessarily concerned about being "bi-partisan", as opposed to the entire cast of Republicans who would have a difficult time pronouncing it!

7. Let's not overlook what's really important |
|
Who were the dems that voted for gonzalez? To me, that is a critical issue, they should be the recipients of some email rants!

18. Please, please check out McCain's record, he is not a friend of Dems |
|
and ever since he started stumping for bush he has really sold out. Today he voted for Gonzales and he said in an interview yesterday that was shown on c-span, just spur of the moment in the hall of the Senate, he supports private accounts, thinks they are a great idea.
McCain is not a friend to us.

9. that is a good way to frame this- but no free passes for Pro-Bush DEMS. |
|
We need to keep on red-assing the pro-torture, pro-lying criminal DEMS.

11. Yup, the Republicans OWN the PRO-TORTURE position. |
|
Anti-torture is one of the democratic parties PRO-LIFE values. No human life should be subject to torture by Americans.

16. that's why i was hoping all the dems would vote no, so the GOP |
|
could have the title all to itself. Heck, I even naively thought that possibly there was one GOP senator with a glimmer of a conscience, guess not.
