3. Remember the days when posters to a board would reference fascism
and they were so over the top and they'd immediately lose the argument?

I miss those days.

6. If a Democratic administration had been caught waterboarding, EVERYONE would be calling it torture.

7. Wow! Gordo took a stand against waterboarding?
I'm gonna have to call that boy and offer him a cookie. Usually he's lockstep with the conservative freaks. Guess it helps that he's up for re-election this year!

8. He's Looking At His Polls...
He's been breaking with the party every so often over the past year in hopes Oregon voters won't remember what an enabler he is.

9. You know it!
Hopefully, it won't do him any good. I'm looking for Steve Novick or Jeff Merkley to kick his ass come November. Preferably Novick.

10. I'm Counting On It
My best friend lives in Portland and likes Novick. I wss hoping Earl would run...he'd be fun seeing with Al Franken in the Senate.

Cheers...
