The Pro Torturers

You've heard of PRO-life politicians; well these nine (along with W.) are PRO TORTURE.
* Wayne Allard (R-CO)
* Christopher Bond (R-MO)
* Tom Coburn (R-OK)
* Thad Cochran (R-MS)
* John Cornyn (R-TX)
* James Inhofe (R-OK)
* Pat Roberts (R-KS)
* Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
* Ted Stevens (R-AK)

I meant to write this last week but I've been busy. Last Week the senate voted 90 to 9 to STOP the horrible torture being preformed by the U.S. against the 'suspected' terrorists we're fighting. I say suspected as most of the people at Abu Graib and Camp X-ray haven't had their 'day in court' and thus haven't actually been proven to have done anything bad.
The 'bill' was created by John McCain (who knows a bit about being on the receiving end of a country's evil torture policy) and attached to a defense spending bill. As mentioned the above 9 voted AGAINST the U.S. being a country which is humane and treats it’s foes with respect. Hmmm didn’t we get rid of Saddam because he mistreated people?
(That was like the second reason for us to go to war, after WMDs but before ‘fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here’)

I list them in the hopes that any/all of their seats are up in 2006. If you live in one of these states, please start a grassroots movement to get rid of one (or two if you live in OK) of these scum.

Naturally they aren’t alone- W. has threatened to use his FIRST VETO to get rid of this. As W. has been told by his attorney, now the attorney general (Gonzales) that torture is a-ok. I mean we know that W. is a monster (who maybe should’ve been sent to ‘Nam) but we can’t get rid of him at this late date- we can however go after these nine. And maybe remind people what sort of monsters OUR side is breeding. Remember nobody above the rank of sergeant has gone to trial for torture, the little guys have gotten in trouble for ‘just following orders’ while the people who give the orders have stayed safe and secure in Washington D.C. making sure not to leave a paper trail.
Fortunately with 90% of the vote, the senate has enough people against torture to override the president’s veto… so part of me hopes that W. vetoes it; so he can lose more support and the republicans who want to run in ‘06(and president in ’08) start distancing themselves from the commander and thief.
