Spin Dry

Congress has just agreed to destroy the Constitution and turn W. into a dictator. In passing his Torture Bill -- and that's what it is -- they have betrayed the American people and deserve to be impeached and forever banned from elected office.

It's not a surprise that every single Republican Senator voted Yes on S3930. But here are the Democrats that need to be replaced in their next election -- with any independent, non-Republican candidate -- if not hounded out of office in disgrace immediately:

Carper (D-DE), Johnson (D-SD), Landrieu (D-LA), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Lieberman (D-CT) [what a surprise], Menendez (D-NJ), Nelson (D-FL), Nelson (D-NE), Pryor (D-AR), Rockefeller (D-WV), Salazar (D-CO), Stabenow (D-MI).

That's the dirty dozen. Democrats who don't deserve to call themselves that. If you live in their state, give them a call and give them hell.

Yes, had they all voted the other way, the end result would have been 53 to 56 in favor, but it would have sent a strong message to the American people. The Republican Party is the Party of Torture.

Remember that, and the next time someone quote's W's inane "The Democratic Party is the Party of 'Cut and Run'", throw this right back in their face.

September 28, 2006. The day that Congress put the final nail in the coffin of the American Experiment. Thanks a lot, gang. You make Benedict Arnold look like George Washington.
