100% of "no" votes were Dems!

[Cocoa]

being anti-torture is overwhelmingly a value of the democratic party!

The republicans almost exclusively own the pro-torture position.

1. Jeffords is independent. But there were no Rethugs.

[coreystone]

6. Rice and Gonzales.....Jim's got two good votes in a row! ... eom

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Good for Jeffords, bad for us.

How pathetic is the state of this party when a former Republican is voting consistently with REAL American values and some "Democrats" refuse to do so? FUCK YOU Holy Joe, Salazar, Landrieu and whomever else betrayed their country today.

[WillyT]

14. Most Excellent, And DISTURBING Point !!!

Bravo!!!

[bluestateguy]

2. Indeed.

And a majority of Democrats did vote no. The votes weren't there for a fillibuster anyway. It's fine to criticize the mee too Democrats who voted yes, but I still think that Republicans who all voted for him deserve even more criticism.

[Skinner]

3. Good point.

I'm glad someone made it.

[Jacobin]

4. Jeffords voted no. He's an independent

...if it matters

[coreystone]

5. I am still confused by Spector's "bi-partisan" support statement...

Democrats can be, but, Republican's can't be "bi-partisan". Though, personally, I doubt that most of the the Dems that voted Yes were not necessarily concerned about being "bi-partisan", as opposed to the entire cast of Republicans who would have a difficult time pronouncing it!

:-(

[Im with Rosey]

7. Let's not overlook what's really important

Who were the dems that voted for gonzalez? To me, that is a critical issue, they should be the recipients of some email rants!

[WillyT]

8. What Happened To Chafee ??? - Or McCain For That Matter ???

What sort of Republican Wesson Oil Parties were these guys invited to???

:wtf:

Onedit: Sorry Skinner, not trying to turn this into a sex thread, LOL!!!

:hi:

[dandrhesse]

18. Please, please check out McCain's record, he is not a friend of Dems

and ever since he started stumping for bush he has really sold out. Today he voted for Gonzales and he said in an interview yesterday that was shown on c-span, just spur of the moment in the hall of the Senate, he supports private accounts, thinks they are a great idea.

McCain is not a friend to us.

[Dr Fate]

9. that is a good way to frame this- but no free passes for Pro-Bush DEMS.

We need to keep on red-assing the pro-torture, pro-lying criminal DEMS.

[blm]

10. This is why you're aces with me, Cocoa.

.

[Just Me]

11. Yup, the Republicans OWN the PRO-TORTURE position.

Anti-torture is one of the democratic parties PRO-LIFE values. No human life should be subject to torture by Americans.

[liveoaktx]

12. I could never be a Republican-at least most Dems salvaged

themselves in my eyes, despite the disgusting Condi vote.

Not My President, Torture is Not A Moral Value

[Jack Rabbit]

15. It's good that for the most part . . .

. . . the party of Jimmy Carter still stands for human rights.

[dandrhesse]

16. that's why i was hoping all the dems would vote no, so the GOP

could have the title all to itself. Heck, I even naively thought that possibly there was one GOP senator with a glimmer of a conscience, guess not.

[jean]

17. yes - the GOP stands alone with their stamp of approval on torture
