Hmm, Insane McCain has voted against prohibiting the U.S. from using torture as an interrogation tactic. This is disturbing on many fronts, first and foremost, John McCain was tortured in Vietnam at the "Hanoi Hilton" . Second, "maverick" stance on numerous issues, including waterboarding and other harsh tactics made him almost reasonable. Three, in all likilyhood, he is the Republican's nominee. And given his "maverick" stance on a number of things, he is going to need independent votes. Independents as a rule, generally are pretty moderate to both left and right causes. Human rights, and dignity are a human cause Senator McCain. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W. Va.), had this to say today."Retaliation is the way of the world. What we do to others, they will do to us — but worse," Rockefeller said. "This debate is about more than legality. It is also about morality, the way we see ourselves ... and what we represent to the world."
The Senator from W. Virginia is spot on with the argument against torture. John McCain is now positioning himself as a Conservative that says, "torture- yeah, I'm ok with it now" Ok? Since when Senator? Since the so-called conservative pundits came out against you? Straight Talk my ass! McCain says he's ready to lead, I must ask "Where are you leading us to?"
