Republicans compromise on torture!
I know this isn’t news, but since I heard these headlines last Friday or so I’ve just been shocked that I haven’t heard a deafening chorus of this from Democrats. Apparently the Dems are worried about looking “soft” on “terrorism” if they stand up and say “we oppose all torture.” I don’t know which is more horrifyingÃ¢â‚¬â€ťthe fact that Republicans have agreed to allow torture (and, as I understand it, give the Executive the power to detain just about anyone it wants forever and without any possibility of judicial review), or the fact that Democrats are not taking a united and unflinching stand against it. This should be the number one campaign slogan nationwide:
Republicans compromise on torture. Democrats don’t.
It’s simple and ought to be true. Perhaps Democrats aren’t running on this slogan because it isn’t true? Or is it because they really are as spineless as Republicans say they are?
Oh, and one more thing: Has anyone else noticed how convenient it is for Republicans that gas prices are falling now, just a little more than a month before elections? (I guess other people have noticed.) It’s enough to give a conspiracy theorist fits…
