The Dems who approved the Torture AG

[yankeedem]

Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut,
Ken Salazar of Colorado,
Mary Landrieu of Louisiana,
Bill Nelson of Florida,
Ben Nelson of Nebraska
Mark Pryor of Arkansas

We're getting there, hopefully they wise up before some real bills are voted on.

1. Blanche Lincoln voted against him ?

did any Republicans vote against him ?

[yankeedem]

2. Of course they didn't

Herr Rove wouldn't stand for that

[atreides1]

6. According to Reports

Not one single Republican voted no on the Inquisitor Generals nomination, to include John McCain a recipient of torture at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors.

But as long as they were not trying to cause organ failure, it really wasn't torture.

[hootinholler]

13. "Inquisitor General" nice ring to it.

Added to the lexicon, thank you.

27. Well, McCain did learn from the best torturers around.

[hiley]

7. she sure did

shocker huh ? My other Senator voted for the torturer though.

[w4rma]

20. Not one single solitary Repug voted against Gonzo. All voted for. (nt)

[Larkspur]

3. Well, at least Sen. Dodd of CT heard my request

Anyone know what excuse Lieberman gave for his vote?

[yankeedem]

5. He's a neocon

[Dr Fate]

4. I'm deeply ashamed of these Pro Torture "Democrats."

[hiley]

12. Me Too and I am also

worn out from pleading the case ....

[coloradodem2005]

8. Are these all of the Dems who approved Gonzalez?

I am very disappointed in Ken for this. That is all I will say. I worked on his campaign, I had come to respect him while doing that but I am disappointed now about this.

[ultraist]

23. EMAIL HIM and let him know that you, as his suppporter/volunteer,are po'ed

[Lars39]

9. They are all New Democrats...

the much-touted 'third way'. They won't wise up; they were voting along their new party line. :puke:

[SmokingJacket]

18. This is frightening.

I didn't know the "new-Democrat" thing had hardened into a voting bloc.

Atrocious.

Hello, why not just join the Republican party?? They're the "winners" right?

If you support torture, you are NOT a Democrat.

[Lars39]

21. Well, not all of the New Dems voted yea,

as someone on another thread pointed out. Hadn't thought of it as a voting bloc, but you're right. Disgusting and frightening.

[ultraist]

24. Lieberman and Bill Nelson are not new

[Lars39]

26. Yes, they are New Dems.

10. Damn them all to hell.

[LSparkle]

17. Yep, if Fowler gets DNC Chair

then I'm checking out the Greens.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. How do they sleep at night?

:shrug:

[hiley]

14. luded up

perphaps !

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Yeah, that might do it.

I was thinking more along the lines, they don't have a conscious? :shrug:

[K-W]

15. Nader should run against Lieberman

And make a real statement.

[Vinca]

16. This is truly disturbing.

The past couple of days I've been barely able to turn on the tube because I'm getting so depressed over the direction of this country. What on earth are the people thinking who vote in favor of a person who views the Geneva Conventions as "quaint."

[ultraist]

22. There is NO EXCUSE FOR THIS!

There is no excuse for this esp. for Lieberman who is in freakin' CT. At least the Senators from the more conservative states of Louisiana, Nebraska, & Arkansas have some justification for pandering to their conservative constituency. Even so, they should NOT have voted for a torturer.

LIEBERMAN better not go Repuke on Social Security *reform*

[Redleg]

25. BRAVO to the Dems who didn't support that fuckface.

That should be the real story.

[KG]

28. i heard lieberman wanted to vote for him twice.

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. I could believe that. n/t
