Dennis Moore votes to torture...

[KansDem]

...this should cause a little consternation in the KansDem household tonight.

1. FYI - Republicans who voted against the bill

Paul (TX-14)


Cleaver didn't vote

3. It's a sad day when Dennis Moore can't do better than a Moran.

He has disappointed me many times, but this is the last straw.

2. I know

But Maynard Ahner is not much of an alternative.

4. You're right

Who is Moore pandering to, surely the JoCo voters aren't in favor of torture? :shrug:

5. I couldn't believe it!

I sent him a scathing e-mail. I am profoundly saddened by his vote as I have always respected him in the past. Ever since he was DA in Johnson County.

In similar news, Hillary Clinton gave a knock-your-socks-off speech in opposition to the bill today in the Senate. For a YouTube of it go to:

Andrew may be a conservative and often leans toward the Republicans, but I find him almost always respectful, consistent, and well-reasoned. I do not always agree with him. On this bill I agree with him fully. At the top of the blog right now is a picture of what Dennis Moore approved of today. From a museum dedicated to exhibiting the torture methods used by the Khymer Rouge.

6. I've called his campaign and said "no thanks" to his yard sign

I cannot in all good conscience support someone who condones torture.
