Stinking RINOS.
This sucks!
What do you get when a bunch of dems and a pack of Rino's seek to alter an effective strategy for the sake of political feel-goodism?
Let's hope it isn't a major attack in this country, but if it comes to that, then all their heads should roll down the steps of the Capitol building.
This country is being run by a bunch of looney tunes in Congress....and when we are taken over by the Muslims..I want everyone to remember the names, McCain, Warner, Graham, Powell.
Former US secretary of state Colin Powell, seen here in 2004, sent a letter to Senator John McCain, R-AZ, condemning the administration's plan to change rules governing detainee treatment. Bush rejected Powell's warning saying, "If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic."(AFP/File/Luke Frazza)

PING
I say they make detainees listen to Ween instead of the Chili Peppers.
With all of the hubbub about "torture", I'd damn near forgot about the twits wanting to give detainees access to sensitive evidence
We conservatives want to put the terrorists' testicles into a vise. The liberals don't. I suggest a mathematically precise compromise. Only one testicle per terrorist per vise. Problem solved! To show our "humanity," give them their choice of left or right.
The Jihadist are laughing, the Senate is stinking and McCain, Graham, Warner etal should be ashamed of themselves.
Frist is an embarrasment, and a cohort in the non-sense!
WTF is going on?
BTW I have the ice rink in hell reserved for next monday.
Gipper roll to right, the soul of the GOP is on the left and you may otherwise squash any hope we have!
The more I observe politics, the more attractive the idea of Senators and congressmen, at least, being chosen by random lottery.
I think it is time for those senators to get off their high horses, shelf their excessive egos and stubborness and give this country what it needs to protect the citizens.
It does not matter one whit who gets their ego hurt, who has to concede. It matters that they allow a president of the United States to protect its citizens.
Now they had better realize the "club" is not the President, the "club"'s purpose is to write legislation that serves the citizens of the United States and protects them. It is not a tool of political power, status, ambitions, or egos. We are also not to be at the mercy of the world as to how we can protect ourselves. If they want to please the world, let them serve in the U.N. - this is America.
I feel sure their trumped up decision not to agree with the president was a lame excuse not to write legislation regarding what tactics can be used in interrogration before an election. They did not want to put their true views on the line. This might have been done to concede to their friends the democrats as the democrats are the top priority for McCain.
I am totally ashamed of the spectacle the senators have made of a President merely trying to protect the country.
They should be ashamed and they will not be forgotten for how they are acting. They have embarrassed the country and again shown the terrorists how weak all other than President Bush are in this government.
Oh, by the way......McCain has shown that he is definitely not presidential material.
Hm.....any decision would be made based on what all other countries would think of us.
Any decision would be based on what serves him best.
Any decision would be weak, would make America weak and would not provide security for me or my family.
Tough luck McCain - you out manuevered yourself. That goes for the follower Lindsay also. Anything, any time to stab the president in the back rather than join with the president to serve the conservative agenda and this country.
Who needs a John McCain?
NAME THESE SENATORS ... I WANT NAMES!!
Graham, McCain and Collins.
That is not enough to block the President
If this BS article is true .. there are more senators .. let these COWARDS go on record
War by lawyer. We're done.
