Sen. Graham may oppose Mukasey’s nomination.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) may oppose President Bush’s Attorney General nominee if Michael Mukasey says “waterboarding is not torture.” “If he does not believe that waterboarding is illegal, then that would really put doubts in my own mind,” Graham stated. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who also believes waterboarding is torture, suggested yesterday he may still support Mukasey.

OK, but will he vote to oppose Mukasey?

1. mukasey will come back and say he'll think about the torture issue....and be voted in.

lindsey is a good rethuglicon soldier....he will not let his CIC down

2. We should probably call Graham and encourage him to do the right thing for a change. n/t

7. that would work for you or I and most here but to him the right thing is to us the wrong thing

so we can't just ask him to do what is right, we have to tell him what that right thing is, ;-)
peace

3. Is there a hint of independent thinking among the repugs?

OMG this could be dangerous. Next someone may think that children should have health care.

4. Neither one will vote against the wishes of the chimp..

They are merely posturing to try to appear as if they had empathy for other humans.

Won't work though.

5. He may, but he won't.

[Victoras]

9. he won't, because

the nominee Must Say 'waterboarding Is Not Torture'
that leaves a whole lot of parsing & wiggle room for LG(note; LG is not the Lifes Good slogan)

6. McCain also chaired the cover-up investigation of Abramoff to save Bush in 2004.

McCain is not going to say or do anything that makes Bush a war criminal.

8. I have lost most of my respect for McCain last few years.
