18. I'm fleeing to Canada! I'm fleeing to Canada! I'm fleeing to Canada!
I support the Green Party funded by the GOP!I support the Green Party funded by the GOP!
I support the Green Party funded by the GOP!

Yah, whatever.

Nobody (here) supports any of those in the House, Senate, or White House who support torture. To say or suggest otherwise is a lie - the sort of lie wusses with no actual position tell.

If wusses, or you, have anything serious to say about the issue for your side, you might want to consider providing a thoughtful response to the line of thought expressed in these articles:

22. What did you think the bill was about anyway?
It was to give approval to torture.

Is there nothing worth standing up and saying no?

Or is it all about triangulating your position, hedging your bets, making nice with the fascists?

12. The whiners forum would be a lot more interesting
If DU were to become simply an "Amen Chorus" of unquestioning boosterism, it would be about as interesting as a meeting of the Christian Republican Housewives Society.

17. I agree with Armstead...
Bush will go up in the polls because of these votes by the Democrats. They shot themselves and the Party in the foot. They thought they were helping themselves and they hurt us all. Defend them if you want.

21. I agree,
People who have lost all hope are prone to dangerous and desperate action. We must have the courage to hope.

threads like this thread, Oh yeah It's GD.

Another great litmus test thread to add stepford wife Du'ers to the ignored.
So, If I censor a censor is that censorship?

25. The wusses and whiners...
Are the appologists who are trying to give cover for this travesty. There is no excuse for any politician Dem or Repup who voted for this bill.

The strong are those who stand by principle in the face of opposition.

More of the same repuke logic. "If you're not with us, you're against us". Not to mention you seem to approve of tactics in said bill which seems to be "If you don't like what their saying, disappear them".

26. We just lost a very important battle, and some of those we thought
were on our side didn't go our way. People are grieving. They're upset and angry, and they have a need to talk about it. Those posts are not going to magically disappear just because they happen to annoy you. Lighten up and go read something else.
