When it got down to it? We had a post here just a few days ago asking that very question. Most posters thought they woud fold like the cowardly traitors they are. I cannot understand how any right-thinking American could support the torture these people have practiced??

4. * threatened him with 2008
McCain needs his base for a 2008 run.

5. Never. This "spat" was orchestrated and all staged for the election.

11. You took the word orchestrated right off my fingertips.
In retrospect, I think the McCain run in 2000 may have been, as well. Call me cynical. :shrug:

7. Voting to condone torture is a war crime.
There is no "compromise" on torture.

14. N-O!
I knew the GOPers were pulling an Arlen Specter patented political trick and using the future well being of our troops in the field, as political pawns. NOTHING IS SACRED, TO THOSE GAWD CRAZY GOPER-Fascists.

GAWD = WINNING = GOP!

It's taken America 230 years to attain it's greatness and the world's respect as a champion of human rights, throughout the world. It's taken George Bush and the GOP less than 6 years to destroy everything that every American soldier had fought for for all those years! WE have Become THEM! When we act like monsters we have so hated in the past, then we have become monsters too.

17. "McCain" and "principles" should not be used in the same sentence
unless "doesn't have any" appears in between.
