Senate Democrats are making a HUGE strategic mistake

They are letting Senate republicans LEAD the opposition to Bush's torture legalization plan and remaining silent. This makes them look extremely weak in my view as they are not showing any leadership in an issue critical to our country. Hey! I support the dems strongly and want a majority in congress but I feel frustrated, Dems seem so passive, this is not going to win votes. I'm wondering where their voice in this is.

My point is that this gives wavering republicans an opportunity to stay with their guy and weaken the potential for Dems to win the close races. It gives the Repubs an alternate leg to stand on. Up to now they have been a monolith behind Bush. This smells like a campaign tactic to me and I fear the Dems are not taking any advantage at all.

Dems need to loudly take a stand opposing Bush and do it before it's too late!
