Worse than being pro-torture is the fascist direction the Republican Party has taken. Americans aren't thrilled with socialism, but the vast majority of Americans hate fascism even more. How can a political party prove it is not pro-torture and not fascist? It's going to take a generation, at least. I really don't think the fascist theocratic Republican Party can survive a generation in the minority. The Republican Party is politically dead. Roark,

HAHA! Yes, because the #1 issue on Americans minds today is whether or not we torture. Oh wow, wake up! Yes, it may be a part of a platform but to point to an anti-torture stance and say it will be the guiding principle towards victory for any party for a generation is so incredibly.....dumb(no other word can possibly describe that thought process better). “For at least a generation, the Democratic primary will be more important than the general election, because Americans will not vote pro-torture.”
