		<description>As a non-American (repeat) very liberal  it  saddens me to see progressive people lower themselves to personal attacks on those who disagree with them.  Either ignore &quot;trolls&quot; or provide rational, non-attacking responses.  Person attacks only provide opportunity!!!</description>

		<description>Well Schummer suggested Mukasy so it would be tough to not stand by him.  Feinstein who knows?   Maybe needs something for California.  Is she up for re-election I hope?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;However, if given the choice of having my testicles cut off, my hands cut off, or my head sawed off, Iâ€™ll take the waterboarding prior to release.

Ok...I am trying not explode from the ignorance of this, but this isn&#039;t a thread about &quot;the most desirable torture (if I had to choose).  It is about TORTURE BEING WRONG and not having an Attorney General that will hedge on the issue to protect those EXERCISING TORTURE!</description>

		<description>We really must speculate on the subject matter of the extortion photos and phone calls being held on Schumer and Feinstein.

To NOT speculate would be irresponsible.

So I&#039;m betting for Schumer its a boy-toy in upstate NY.
For Feinstein I&#039;m seriously leaning toward a drunken hit and run.

Of course, these are just speculations...</description>

		<description>Liberals Are Filled With Hate sez:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;lol! The spineless, cowardly Democrat Party strikes again! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not spineless or cowardly...but actively complicit in this administration&#039;s awful crimes.  Steny Hoyer is just one of the traitors.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long live King George and his regime of terror.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I love it when trolls refute themselves...such a time-saver.</description>

		<description>It is not a surprise. Nancy Pelosi is a disapointment. The Democrats, once they got in, they became what they really are: Bush&#039;s enablers. What a joke! Mukasey should be waterboard against his will, american style, and than asked if that was torture or not! Weak democrats! The US has become a FACIST STATE and they are blindly doing nothing! Shame! Shame! Shame!</description>

		<description>Just to be clear: I&#039;m very liberal, very progressive, not anti-semitic and not even anti-Isreal.

But when a politician does something that seems against their stated positions, I start following the money. AIPAC is one THE biggest lobbies in DC. Money does nothing but corrupt the process and anyone taking the money will eventually be corrupted (see Feinstein, Dianne).</description>

		<description>letter i wrote to schumer this morning:

&lt;em&gt;(you can write to him too!)&lt;/em&gt;

dear mr. schumer,

i read your opinion piece in the ny times this morning. you are wrong sir. you have sworn to uphold and protect the constitution of the united states of america. by voting in favor of mr. mukasey&#039;s appointment as attorney general you have violated your oath of office. torture is against our laws. we are protected from it and it&#039;s practice by our constitution. the prohibition against &quot;cruel and unusual&quot; punishment cannot be compromised. mr. mukasey has not stood up to vigorously defend this protection. in fact he has refused to answer the question! therefore you have no choice but to vote against his appointment. you did not do this. you did not protect our constitution as you promised you would do when you took office. you should be ashamed of yourself. you should resign. americans are becoming more and more discouraged and disappointed with their government. if you would like to the know the reason why go back and read your opinion piece in the ny times. then look in the mirror and ask yourself what a real american would do.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;McE: Precisely what we were looking for - a vested pro-Israel interest by some of the high rollers in Congress: Feinstein and Clinton.

Thanks for the info. Now letâ€™s spread it everywhere we can.

Comment by Veritas â€” November 6, 2007 @ 1:14 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Now watch the TP &quot;progressives&quot; call us who know this &quot;Anti-Semites&quot;. These are the same ones who follow the Bush Lie about 9/11, yet say EVERYTHING else he says is a lie.

The Likud/Zionist thumbprint is all over this. Torture is directly connected to foreign policy, and AIPAC is as dominant as oil profits and War Profiteering.</description>

		<description>AIPAC contributions:

Feinstein, Dianne (D) this year $31,500, lifetime $146,342	

No real surprise Diane&#039;s pro-war, pro-torture.

Clinton, Hillary Rodham (D) this year $37,118, lifetime $56,118	

And I wouldn&#039;t expect much anti-war support from Hillary, either.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Then itâ€™s really no big deal, is it? Why all the wailing and gnashing of teeth?

Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” November 6, 2007 @ 1:04 pm&lt;/em&gt;

The problem is this....These sociopaths and their boot licker Democrat enablers can do a lot of damage in 14 months, such as Declaring Martial Law or Attacking another country or two on cooked intelligence. 

This &quot;debate&quot; over whether waterboarding is torture is like having a debate on whether methedrine is a stimulant or depressant. I mean, even the CIA itself, not known as a humanitarian organization, says it is torture.

We should not complain when Americans are tortured according to your logic. It&#039;s a friggin&#039; torture fest. YeeeHawwwww!! We can televise the torture, and believe me, some of the Skin-Head Nazis that are beginning to dominate our culture will cheer it on.

Oh, I forgot one more thing.........What if the person you are torturing is innocent?</description>

		<description>Mukasey&#039;s got one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave so how much damage can this old man do at this point?  After all, we had years of a &quot;faux AG&quot; in Gonzo but it&#039;s always good to watch a weasel squirm in public, like Michael Mukasey&#039;s been doing.  The more people who observe his weasel squirm and Bush&#039;s threats regarding his confirmation, the more people will vote Dem in 08.  Let them do all the damage they want to and will do right now.

The international tribunal will still get Bush and his cohorts the moment they leave office.  Mukasey&#039;s proven himself to be a subordinate of King George that&#039;s all.  He will have zippo respect from the people of this country after this ridiculous &quot;side show&quot; of his.

Welcome to another day in &quot;Bushland:  The Largest Circus in the World&quot;.</description>
