Schumer And Feinstein To Civilized World: Drop Dead
I pop open a web browser and find that Chuckie Schumer was able to find a few minutes out of his busy schedule of keeping taxes down at 15% for the Ultra-Ultra-Rich, to issue a statement that Mukasey is a pretty reasonable choice.

In WWII, the Japanese and Germans brutally tortured and killed our POWs. Google "Bataan Death March" if you want some details. Despite this, torture was never an official or even unofficial policy - and it was rarely even done in secret by the angry US soldiers who'd watched their buddies tortured to death by the enemy. Can you imagine FDR gleefully comparing methods of torture in the Oval Office? Never. Hell, we treated German POWs so well that many stayed in the US after the war! And somehow, we won that war - damnedest thing. In the current "war", we're doing the opposite of winning.

Every time I say that people like Chuckie or Feinstein or the rest of that crowd are not actual Democrats, I get flamed. Well flame the fuck away - these people are not actual Democrats. They are enabling and thus tacitly encouraging torture. And all of you who defend these people, and the many other torture-"Dems", please consider moving to Egypt or Uzbekistan or one of the other paradises where "Democrat" Bill Clinton sent people in his pioneering efforts to outsource torture. I don't want you in my country.

3. Feinstein Wasn't Always Like This
Ever since Bush** took her for a ride on AF1 she has been different.

Different like "Invasion of the Body-Snatchers" or "The Stepford Wives".

4. They would have to be unseated in the primary.

It seems very difficult to unseat incumbents in the primary. Lamont managed against Lieberman, but he still lost.

5. Feinstein: "Gay rights....too much, too fast, too soon."
Disgraceful.
