Congress failed again to uphold the will of the people and
caved in to the will of one of the most embarrassing, hated
and treasonous Presidents in recent history.

The deceptively named Intelligence Authorization Act of 2008,
defeats the requirement of US forces to follow the Army Field
Manual with regard to interrogation.

The U.S. public rejects nearly all forms of torture or
coercion even in face of a possible terrorist attack. 66% said
that the US should abide by the international law that;

"governments should never use physical torture,"

while 29% found that standard;

"too restrictive."

So in essence, the will of the minority trumps the will of the
American majority once again. Much like how our Presidential
elections tend to turn out.

About the same percentage of Americans that think this
international war criminal and right wing sock puppet George
Bush, is doing a good job as "The Decider" think
returning evil for evil and emulating elements of
international terrorists is a good idea.

1. Pukes blocked the override.

The Democrats passed a ban, the puke war criminal in the WH vetoed, and the puke-obstructionists blocked the override.

The pukes are the Torture Party.

3. Traitors like none other in our 200 year history.

The all too long primaries and Spitzer scandal hide it all. Where is the outrage on the media and Congress? Nada.

2. McCain Begins Vice President Search

By Eric Allen Bell

San Antonio, Texas. (March 12) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Wednesday he has begun the process of finding a vice presidential running mate and wants someone who shares his rage and can take his place.

Speaking to reporters on a campaign plane, loaned to him by lobbyists for oil companies and war machines, the expected Republican nominee said he had seen news reports that famed serial killer Charles Manson, had expressed interest in the job, but he offered no comment one way or the other on whether Manson would be a candidate.

"Manson shares my views that human beings can and should be tortured and killed," McCain said of Manson’s interest in the No. 2 slot on the Republican ticket in November's election.

Manson told Fixed News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" on Tuesday that "any Serial Killer in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee for John McCain, myself included." He went on to say that, "The over 1 million innocent people killed since the Iraqi invasion makes George Bush the ultimate serial killer, especially given that half of those murdered were innocent children. I feel that McCain has what it takes to carry on that legacy and even outdo Bush with the upcoming invasion of Iran. This is history in the making." Said Manson, "And I’d like to be a part of it."

Charles Manson endorsed McCain in February after the Arizona senator defeated Gulianni in an often caustic campaign battle. McCain will face either Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York or Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in November. Clinton, herself an aspiring serial killer who supported the Iraq invasion, has the blood of a half million innocent dead Iraqi children on her hands and seems to feel no remorse. Said Manson, "She is gifted with the ability to harm others and feel no pain but rather seek the spotlight to increase her base of power. I feel that, given the opportunity, she will kill again".

When asked about Democratic Presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama, Manson went on to say, "He is not ready to mass murder on day one. He lacks the experience of taking human lives for pleasure or for personal gain. I don’t know how anyone can take him seriously."

At a town-hall meeting in San Antonio, Texas, McCain went out of his way to praise Manson as well as more notable and effective mass murderers such as the late Edi Amin, China’s Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and of course the great Adolf Hitler.

"My friends, I fought in Viet Nam. I was a trained killer" Said the Arizona Senator, "I don’t remember what we were fighting for, but I loved to kill and, given the opportunity to serve this country as Commander and Chief, I can promise you a blood bath in the Middle East. America will never be looked at the same way ever again once I leave office." he said.

Talking to reporters on his campaign bus, the Double Talk Express, the 71-year-old McCain made clear he has not put together a list of candidates yet but has some ideas in mind. He said he could not say whether Charles Manson was "on or off the list." There have been some unconfirmed rumors on the Beltway that McCain was also in talks with other serial killers and military commanders at Guantanamo Bay for the number two slot.

NO DECISION EXPECTED SOON

Offering some details on what type of person he was considering, McCain said he did not believe having a "personal bond" with the running mate was all that critical as long as they shared the same views and philosophy.

He also said he did not think the vice presidential candidate needed to be from a certain region, "So long as he is male, not a homosexual, a devout Christian and white."

No decision was expected anytime soon. Presidential nominees often wait until just before their party's nominating convention in late summer to announce their running mate.

McCain said he and advisers have begun discussing "what was the process that was used in other campaigns, what process should we go through." He added, "I just can’t wait to get my finger on the button of this nation’s Nuclear arsenal. That’s just some straight talk, my friends. Power makes me feel high and I want to destroy things, entire villages, men women and children. I don’t care about oil. I keep saying this war is not about oil. This is about showing my father that I am number one and showing the world that America is number one."

He said his prime criteria is someone "who can take your place, shares your principles, your values and your vision and your priorities." He added that "Given the principals of the Neoconservative movement, I believe that Charles Manson would be on anyone’s short list."

McCain talked about his vice presidential search as he came to San Antonio, Texas to hold a town-hall meeting at the Church of Pastor John Hagee, where he thanked the Right Wing bigot for endorsing his candidacy. "Pastor Hagee hates human beings and I share his values. If I am elected into office, I will appoint Hagee to head up a task force on how to promote American values here at home."

When asked if the Senator would consider Ann Coulter for the Vice Presidential nominee he remarked, "Now that would be going too far."
