As long as we're calling bluffs...
Time to introduce a proposal condoning torture.

Urinating on prisoners, wiring their genitals, sexually humiliating them, violating Geneva--that's all going to be just fine and dandy now, and we're going to have all those 'Pubby reps and senators running for reelection on the record as backing up words with action.

1. Touche!!
That's what we should do. As soon as they get their vote on pulling out of Iraq. We demand a vote on a bill approving of torture. Hee hee!

Pity Hastert would make sure it was tabled and removed from committee. The joys of being the majority party.

6. Not a chance
that it could pass.

What would immediately follow is a separate bill -- not just an amendment -- to ban all of the listed practices.

7. Sounds like a good idea, but..............
Can the Democrats even introduce a proposal?????

I thought that was the reason that the repukes could controll everything cause they were the only ones that could run the show!
