Reply #7: Watch The Clock...5 Days & Ticking

[KharmaTrain]

First...If there's any Democrat who favors any form of sanctioned torture or the elimination of habeus corpus, they should be drummed out of the party.

This isn't our fight. This is one between the military and this regime. Look closely and you're seeing the final alienation of the military from the Repugnian Party...and that's a good thing in itself. There's no up-side for Democrats to hop into this mess. It's like watching a fight between a wife-beater an a child molester. Do we care who wins?

The game here...and yes, this IS a game and has to be viewed that way, as this is how the Repugnican want it and they oontrol the rules...is to let this debate simmer...as the election recess is next Friday. Another day of these bastards bickering about this sad issue, one day less for them to take actual action. Add this to a whole list of promises this regime and the Repugnicans want to get done before they recess and it makes sense for Democrats to hold their powder until the Repugnican come up with a final resolution (which surely will include some form of condoning violating the Geneva Conventions) or show total ineptness in not being able to get their shit together.

The Democrats in the Senate have the ability to fillibuster...there are the 60 votes to bottle up any passage of a bill this session...and remember, Frist has promised to fillibuster from the other side if its not "tough enough". In the meantime, those who would support boooosh eating a live baby on TV have their red meat...while the majority of us watch in amazement as a Repugnican Congress sputters over destroying the Constitution, International Law and individual rights...something not lost on Moderate Repugnican and Independents.

Last weekend, we included a few canvass questions about the condoning of torture, the elimination of due process and the wonton eavesdropping of all electronic communications...and we found precious few, in a relatively Repugnian area, who supported any or all of the regime's positions on these issues. The fear card isn't working because the results of the past 3 years are now showing how inept this regime is at handling security issues...and that's the dirty little secret that could play out big on Nov. 7.

Yes...as a matter of principal, Democrats should speak out against all efforts to gut the Geneva Convention and any support of this regime's draconian "war on terror" bullshit...but pick your fight wisely. Right now letting the Repugnicans chase their own tails so close to an election is a good thing. Ignore the corporate media's spin on what's going on as they have long been compromised.

Cheers...
