Poll question: Are Repugs willing to have US soldiers tortured for political gain?
I can see it now.

The Chickenhawk Party would rather have video of US soldiers being tortured or have their bodies having been photographed after they were tortured in order to rile up the masses and the complicit mainstream media to go into more wars.

They have proven they don't really care about those that are serving overseas.

So the question is:

Are Repugs willing to have US soldiers tortured for political gain?

1. These dirtbag republicans
would sell their children to get elected. They have absolutely no sense of decency or humanity. I hate them all.

3. The Republicans would do anything for political gain.
Sell their children is just a start.

They'd rent out their Mothers as whores for the cause.

They'd allow their Fathers to do hard labor (unless they're also GOP Elite)

Anything is fair game in the GOP world.

4. Yes, AND let's not forget the Democrats who voted to legalize torture
Our troops, their troops... we're all human beings, so it makes no difference. As long as they can look tough against terror, who cares? They can make polical hay no matter what.

6. Absolutely, the Dems that voted w/Repugs should be replaced
I don't care who they are...they need to either lose or have someone run against them as real Democrats when the time comes.

That includes Harold Ford. I don't a crap that he did it so he could be re-elected. I'd rather have a Repug there and have him punushed than to have him win.

7. Most Repugs and some Dems would seemingly sell their souls and sell out
their country for political gain if events of this week are an indication.

8. I can't state unequivocally that is their intention
but they are nonetheless responsible for it being the outcome of the policy they are trying to shove down the throats of America.

9. ditto.
I voted other. They are not thinking they're doing that, but sheesh, pushing this BS bill through is just a HORRENDOUS blunder. SHAME ON CONGRESS!

10. They've been torturing our troops for 3+ years now...
by keeping them in Iraq.
