Normie stepped out of line on the torture amendment
He voted against junior's wishes to make torture legal and free!

He and 89 others.

1. But it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't...
So he felt free to "disobey" his masters on this one. If it had mattered, he would have been the first to fall in line.

2. surprises the crap out of me
I guess he is intelligent enough to leave a sinking ship. It pained me to even type that.

6. Did he step out of line
or was he given permission to vote that way? Maybe the veto will be used as a "big stick" towards Congress for retribution, so Normy could now vote this way to save face for his next election.

7. The only times Normie has stepped out of line
is when his vote won't matter. Usually it's been that Bush was going to get his way no matter how the weasel voted. This time is different only because the Boy King wouldn't have gotton his way with or without Norm. I bet if the vote had been close he would have behaved differently.

Though, I will not dismiss the idea the little rat is packing his bags and is now sucking up to McCain.
