[Buzz Clik]

1. Hold those accountable by voting accordingly, and carry on.

[ShortnFiery]

2. What Buzz Clik typed!

:toast: Being an democratic incumbent no longer is an assurance that you won't be kicked out in your next primary. ;)

[Skidmore]

7. Me. too.

[gully]

13. Absolutely. I refuse to blame the minority party for being the fking

minority party. I will however, hold any Dem who votes for this "accountable."

[elehhhhna]

17. Same here but it calls for a PROTEST, no?

[onehandle]

3. ...celebrate by blowing up frogs.

Bush is Such a Great role model for our children.

A grand lifetime of torture.

[msongs]

4. apologize for opposing it ?? :- ) nt

[pooja]

5. I will first pray really hard. Then I will wear one of those lapel

flags bush-ie loves to wear upsidedown... when someone says "your pins upside down", I will respond that it is perfectly in place until torture becomes illegal... good discussion peice.... can't believe its even up for debate.

[elehhhhna]

19. I'll do that. Excellent idea.

[salin]

and let repugs own it.

[Union Thug]

[Subdivisions]

10. torment frogs and cats?

[StraightDope]

11. ...make plans to get out of this crazyhouse of a country.

[Solly Mack]

12. suffer a "nervous collapse"

I fully expect to break down

I'm not cut out to endure the acceptance of such outrages

I'm really not

I had a "break down" during Rwanda. My poor husband was so afraid I was going to do "something stupid"..I remember him watching me..as I sat glued to the images of bodies floating down the river and crying...unable to sleep, eat...shower..refusing to be drawn away...I had to see...I had to know what humans were doing to other humans. Even as I died inside, I had to know

I had to seek help. My mind couldn't deal with it.

And I can't pull away now..I can't stop now...even as I'm die a little more inside

[elehhhhna]

21. Solly, time to see the doc, just in case.

[Solly Mack]

23. I talk to someone now

and it's been a huge help

[elehhhhna]

26. good.

[uberblonde]

They need to be punished.

[Itchinjim]

15. .......Waterboard a few Republicans.

[Branjor]

16. If the torture bill passes....

maybe we should protest with mass flag burnings.

[OutNow]

18. end up on the torture list after they're done with immigrants

first they tortured the armed combatants because they were not really POWs

then they tortured the foreigners that were kept in secret prisons because they might be terrorists

you know that anti-war activists aren't too far down the list - probably right after the undocumented immigrants

no, I'm not just kidding

Bring the troops home now

[Jack Rabbit]

20. Advocate for an international tribunal to try war crimes

If we can't get these rat bastards in federal court, we'll make them answer for their misdeeds in The Hague.

[dogday]

22. Pray that my Son will not be captured

and treated as badly as we plan on treating our captives.....:mad:

[Taxloss]

24. The best possible response is to join Amnesty International,

preferably as a contributing member. (I give £25 a month, but I know there are smaller increments.) Get their action alerts, and act on them by writing letters to the relevant authorities. Amnesty works.

[LeftishBrit]

30. I agree

Amnesty International is a great and effective organization, and I hope everyone who is horrified by what's going on will think of joining them.

[spanone]

25. Mourn the death of America.

[Chipper Chat]

28. ..not be surprised by Freeper outrage over more events like this

(which will surely happen if the bill passes):

[Hardrada]

29. Not MOURN but ORGANIZE

which I've been doing anyway. All capitalism has been doing with Shrubcon is just codifying crap they've probably been doing all along anyway.

[mmonk]

31. Do the same futile things I've always done since

these people have taken power. Email, write, call and complain, and support goups that attempt to protect and defend constitutional rights. The only things outside of trying and working to get representatives to listen is rebellion. So I do these ineffective things because I'm too much of a coward and have the responsibility to my family not to endanger them to actually engage in open rebellion. I may leave, who knows?

[anarch]

32. do everything in my power to see that those who vote for it

are prosecuted along with the rest of the war criminals. Admittedly, my "power" is pretty limited...but if enough of us can get the rest of us to see the light, well, they've got the guns but we've got the numbers, so to speak.

[IntravenousDemilo]

33. Petition my government to break off diplomatic relations with the US.

Won't happen, of course. Stephen Harper has his lips firmly planted between Dubya's ass-cheeks. I hope he likes the taste.

Canada should have no truck nor trade with any country that countenances torture.

[William Bloode]

34. Actually, i think i may be leaving.

I'm thinking being Canadian might be the way to go.

[PaDem]

36. not be surprised
