The Democratic Party should be in lockstep against any kind of bill allowing torture.
This is the only chance the Democratic Party has a chance of winning this election. If they back down on this, and it has already happened in the House with Democrats voting with the majority of Republicans again. Then we lose.
Someone and I can hear or read it already will say....but this is a strategy to get it over to the Senate so they can vote it down. I say Macaca!!!!
Strategy is not what we need against torture. What we need is for people in the party....let me say it again...for people in the party to quit worrying about Karl Rove and the Media and say things plainly like... "It is unamerican to torture so I am not going to vote for torture no matter what the political consequences"
Dont worry about the political winds...just stand for something for once.
The litte dictator has gotten just about everything he has wanted for the last 5 1/2 years why give him this before the elections.
The Base will stay home Democratic Party you can count on that.
Update.... change my tags all you want...it doesnt change the subject of the diary and it proves that people who change tags are just as ignorant and self-absorbed as the nazi republicans....to change one's tag in itself is to be a nazi
