Them Pubs are backing Bush on this...

Now is the time for Leahy/etc to pounce on the opportunity to really reveal the Caligula Bush for what he is and them GOOPers too.

This is the OK Corral...now or never guys...go get um....

2. I want all of the GOP candidates to be publically waterboarded at the next debate
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 02:01 PM by CottonBear
on live TV if they think it's NOT torture.

Then, let the voters decide. (Rush, Hannity, Boortz et al should volunteer as well.)

(I know this will never happen.) :(

3. Here's the problem--unless ALL Dems unite and reject Mukasey, there
won't be any Repubs (save maybe Specter) to have the courage to buck their party and reject him too. Why would they want to be to the left of, say, Schumer, or Feingold? I think McCain and Graham are probably not comfortable with Mukasey, but until the Dems unite, the GOPers are not likely to follow.

8. Sadly, I think you are wrong
If there were a national referendum on torture, I think Joe Lunchpail and all his buddies would vote for it, as long as they thought it would only be "terrorists" who were getting waterboarded. Somewhere along the line, we lost our national conscience.

9. Americans need to realize their government is torturing people
and that ain't American.

Somehow the masses are tolerating it now, but torture won't play too well in Peoria. Not for long.

The Republics could be destroyed with this issue.

14. That torture in any form has become acceptable signals the beginning of the end of the Republic.
Unless the refucklicans are stopped soon, a period of chaos will ensue before we crash hard.
