I Got Your Card….

Bat said his true Valentine gift was to Bush in that he voted FOR torture. Let me refresh your memories on McCain’s statements on torture awhile back:
On the potential use of torture allowed by the Military Commissions Act:
“We had quite a period of strong, spirited discussion with the administration about that. We passed, as you know, some months ago a thing called the Detainee Treatment Act, which prohibits any cruel, inhumane treatment, and in this legislation we made it very clear that that still pertained. I won’t go through all the details of it, but it does not allow torture, and it will not allow torture.

I won’t go through all the details of it, but it does not allow torture, and it will not allow torture.
“And at the same time, I think you do understand that there are some people who are very, very bad people, and I think that to continue a program for some of them, without torture, is something that we can’t deprive the President of the United States of. But I think we struck the right balance, and I can assure you I would never agree to anything that I believe could allow torture. I promise you that.”
HE’S A FLIP FLOPPIN MOFO! And I’ll tell you what…..any respect he got due to being a prisoner of war is way gone to the veterans I know. Spent. All run out.
