		<description>Why would anyone who knows how government works be upset with the party out ofe power?? If the republicans wanted this torture bill and they got it. Their in power (White House, Senante and House of represenatives). Democrats can only watch and scream. The American people are the real losers here because they beleive the attack Ads that will come out in this election cycle. The idiot, the american people, are to lazy to research for themselves the real truth. Therefore the fall for whatever bull@#$% is fed them from their elected official.</description>

		<description>I had to do my blog on this.  

Remember that Karl Turd Blossom Rove and Casino Jack Abramoff shared Susan Rolston.
She worked for Casino Jack before becoming Turd Blossom&#039;s assistant.

And then who knows how many visits were held outside the strict record keeping of the WH.  It&#039;s been published that they used to meet on street corners if it was nice outside, if not they would meet up at his Signatures resturant.  
Casino Jack, Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist have been freinds since college and they have been friends with Rove just as long.

But of course Mad king Boy George didn&#039;t know Jack, he said he didn&#039;t know Kenny Boy Lay either.  Even though he flew on Kenny  Boy&#039;s corporate jet when he was campaigning back in 2000.  Other than that he didn&#039;t know him.  
So, I&#039;m sure he doesn&#039;t know Jack.

		<description>Between 2001 and 2004.  Hmmm.
When did Jeff Gannon get all those passes into the White house with the sloppy record keeping of his arrivals and departures?
We all know Mehlman is in the closet...
&quot;...$25,000 for meals and drinks with White House officials... 
...expensive meals and exclusive tickets... &quot;</description>

â€¦ 12 democratic senators voted for torture a short while agoâ€¦

i really donâ€™t know what to think anymoreâ€¦
those traitors are not listed as yetâ€¦

Comment by katy â€” September 28, 2006 @ 7:42 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Here&#039;s the roll call.  My OWN Democratic senator voted AYE for this bill.  He&#039;s also from a &quot;red state.&quot;  I&#039;ve communicated to him in the past that if he was going to vote like a Republican on national defense and &quot;terrorism&quot; issues, which are BAD for America I would never vote for him again.  He has a totally CRAZY opponent.  His name is Bill Nelson (D) of Florida.  His opponent is Katherine Harris.  I certainly won&#039;t vote for her....but I can&#039;t, in all good conscience, vote for him either.  Note the ONE Republican that voted NO to this bill.  Lincoln Chafee.  If he gets reelected, I hope to God he switches to the Dems or declares as an Independent as Jeffords did.

<p>Here&#8217;s the roll call.  My OWN Democratic senator voted AYE for this bill.  He&#8217;s also from a &#8220;red state.&#8221;  I&#8217;ve communicated to him in the past that if he was going to vote like a Republican on national defense and &#8220;terrorism&#8221; issues, which are BAD for America I would never vote for him again.  He has a totally CRAZY opponent.  His name is Bill Nelson (D) of Florida.  His opponent is Katherine Harris.  I certainly won&#8217;t vote for her&#8230;.but I can&#8217;t, in all good conscience, vote for him either.  Note the ONE Republican that voted NO to this bill.  Lincoln Chafee.  If he gets reelected, I hope to God he switches to the Dems or declares as an Independent as Jeffords did.  </p>

		<description>These guys aren&#039;t politicians--they are common thugs who hijacked the electoral process, assumed the presidency, purposely allowed 9/11 to happen, and made sure there was a war going on so they could grab even more power. These sociopaths torture because they can, and it gives them pleasure. With the suspension of habeus corpus, don&#039;t be surprised to see detention centers inside the U.S. if the Republicans win in November. And definitely expect the draft, because they thirst for endless war. Power and wealth at all costs--the mark of brutish, twisted souls.</description>

Those &quot;3 or 4&quot; contacts were actually 300 or 400.</description>
