Wait a second...this site is loading really slowly, so I don't think my new avatar is showing. I'll have to try later tonight. :(

For now, I give you the Democrat Hall Of Shame:

Pryor (D-AR)
Salazar (D-CO)
Lieberman (D-CT)
Carper (D-DE)
Nelson (D-FL)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Nelson (D-NE)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Johnson (D-SD)
Rockefeller (D-WV)

May they all rot for voting for this travesty!

3. Not sure it's worth anymore I'm done I don't think I will waste any
more time energy or effort on the political system. There seams to be no point.

17. lastknown. maybe its time to refocus and stop settling for comprimises.
there are good people in this country and in this government still. gather in the company of other good people and do what you can. they will help keep your sanity anchored in this upside down reality.

9. I feel like I did when I surfed to Doonesbury's strawpoll on torture ...
disgusted that I am being asked if I am against torture.

Torture is immoral, indefensible and ultimately counter-productive. This holds true under any and all circumstances, including the hypothetical 'what if a terrorist has information about an immanent attack' garbage that the mentally challenged in the MSM inevitably trot out in justification for a crime against humanity.

I for one refuse to condone Gestapo tactics under any circumstances.

Someone needs to carry the torch. I figure it might as well be my little guy.

Thank you, Mr. Bozzetto...

15. I hate these torturing bastards
Only someone as stupid as dubby and the gang would have trouble with the Geneva Conventions. We shouldn't have to waste time on covering for this illegitimate pResident.
