to hold Sen John McCain’s feet to the fire to see if he will back up his past claims that the U.S. should not torture? Or his claims that torture is ineffective?
President Boy George Bush has vetoed the waterboarding ban. The only thing that will allow this country to stand tall with honor in this arena is if Congress overrides his veto.
Would it be torture for Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama to engage a game of who can hold McCain most accountable? Maybe Sen.’s Obama and Clinton can argue over how many times McCain has flip flopped on this issue.
The two candidates could flip a coin to decide who gets to argue that if McCain votes McCain/Bush again he puts our own soldiers at risk of torture. According to who? That’s according to Sen. John McCain, before the McCain/Bush ticket.
The loser of the coin toss gets to ask if torture is so effective, where is Usama bin Laden? Why have not we captured bin Laden? What about the promise of justice for all the victims of September 11, 2oo1? Why have they been forgotten?
Either one or both could take the argument that Sen. McCain once again is a Bushbot, supporting President Boy George Bush in his failed three-trillion-dollar war in Iraq. Once again, it is McCain/Bush allying us with the cesspool governments of the world who condone torture. It is a McCain/Bush legacy that has scarred this nation, and left our nation with such a sorry reputation overseas that they only thing holding it up at all the world knowing Bush soon will leave office. However, will McCain/Bush move in with the same zeal for war?
It’s up to Sen.’s Clinton and Obama to do all they can at all costs (even to their own ambitions and egos) to keep faith with the American people and our allies.
