Democrats, who have found themselves on the losing end of the national security debate the past two national elections, said the changes to the [torture] bill had not yet reached a level that would cause them to try to block it altogether.
"We want to do this," said Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader. "And we want to do it in compliance with the direction from the Supreme Court. We want to do it in compliance with the Constitution."
Fuck Harry Reid.
A lot of us are disenchanted with our Democratic representatives for caving on the war and judicial nomination filibusters. It's going to be very hard for us to cast a vote for anyone who institutionalizes torture. It's fucking evil and contrary to every principle this nation was founded upon.
And I don't want to hear any lectures about the lesser of two evils. I've heard enough already. There are few greater evils than torture. Once you institutionalize it, little else matters.
Call your senators and representatives today. Tell them to grow a spine and provide some leadership. After you've called them, both Republican and Democrat, tell your friends to do the same.
Dial 1-800-Amnesty to be connected to your Senator to oppose torture.

Oh and Obama, now would be a good time for you to start backing up all that talk about Christian values with some action.
Update: Meet the new America.
