Anyone who supports the US' "right" to torture is undermining the very principles which we stand for, and is setting us up to LOSE the moral high ground, and ultimately to LOSE the war. Even if this means that we lose some democrats who happen to support the president on this issue, we would at least be losing the right people, and will ultimately WIN back some of our good will.

The only thing helping the president right now is the lowering price of gas and the positive effect this may have on the economy. Is that all we stand for, low gas prices and a positive economy as the result? If so, then I'm afraid the rest of the world has the right to decide our fate.
