No filibuster? a torture advocate will get a free pass in the USA?
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 08:43 PM by RaulVB
I guess torture is a "minor" thing for our "democratic" senators. And the rest of the planet will take note of it, you can be sure.

Harry Reid has said that he "expects" 25-30 Senators to vote against him!!!

What type of party is this?

What's wrong with this picture?

How can you even dare to think you are able to offer an alternative to this criminal regime when you keep giving up on issues of moral consequence and ethical behavior?

How could I give my support or funds to those who will vote for Gonzales?

I wouldn't be able to do it. I don't belong to the same class. I respect human rights.

Yeah, I'm with you. My disgust threatens to overcome me. But I feel that those who are standing up against it--Ted Kennedy was magnificent today, what a great speech!--should be supported. They NEED numbers--email, faxes, tel calls! And others kicked in the butt.

AND...we have a REALLY IMPORTANT ELECTION FRAUD point to make with them! See the above url.

3. We are so f'd
I suspect Bush will get just about everything he wants.
I cannot believe what has happened to my party.

5. I had hoped there would be unanimous votes against Rice. You'd
think a unanimous vote against Gonzales would be obvious.

6. I'm politically pragmatic
and I'm appalled that the Dems will not uniformly stand against El Torturador. What have they got to lose? Nothing.

8. It's not about that, really
I see your point but is a matter of principle, a moral issue, an ethical stand...

I could not shake the hands of any man or woman not willing to condemn torture, for God's sake!

7. Torture is ok. Lying is ok. Stealing is ok. Mass murder is ok.
