I am so disgusted with congressional Democrats (torture)
Somebody, offer something encouraging here.

I am so disgusted with ANY Democrat who had knowledge of what was going on and did nothing to prevent it or stop it.


Pelosi...I can't even look at her now.

No wonder Obama didn't want any real discussion of this issue - Holder...all of them...

1. You got my vote... We have been talking about how useless Pelosi has been for months....
maybe even several years here and it seems the topic was correct. We probably will now have to add liar to that as well according to Rachel Maddow's show last night.

2. Took the bait, did you?
Most of us did.

Do the wingnuts and MSM know their red meat, or what?

5. BS and here's why....
The Washington pol crowd is like an entire incestuous fraternity and sorority...there are many, many Dems who knew what was going on all along. No one will ever be able to convince me that that is not true.

And these people did NOTHING to stop any of this. NOTHING.

And if you think ALL dems are pure in this, you are living on fantasy island.

People gossip...it's our nature and no one will ever be able to convince me that these lawmakers did not spread this information between themselves.

3. I am skeptical of Cheney-driven CIA leaks
It is not like Cheney and Boehner are big truth machines.

So I am going to take a wait and see attitude. Not letting Pelosi off the hook, but not ready to hang her without more info.

7. Get a hold of yourself. Do some serious reading before you jump to conclusions.

12. Do you work in government?
I do and I know how these things work.

Our people are complicit in this. It will come out. Secrets in government are not kept long - in relative terms.

9. Collaborators in crimes are unlikely to prosecute themselves.
Oh, wait, they didn't know.

If that were true, they should be treated for the coma they've been in for the last 8 years.
