Perhaps I have misunderstood the above but IMHO… We could do the american ideal no greater dishonor if we just hold our nose… close our eyes and abandon our moral compass also ?

Not me…Thankyou.

Perhaps I have misunderstood the above…But it is my humble opinion that refusal to ‘hold one’s nose’ in this matter (If by ‘holding one’s nose’ you infer that voting for your local Democratic party representative is an odious act, and would prefer to withold your vote entirely) is akin to having it surgically removed to spite one’s own face.

Frankly, unless you desire to live in a burgeoning theocratic fascist dictatorship with liberty and justice for those on the Right side of the line, I fail to see the operable choices available.

Perhaps you might illuminate us.

Heres my illumination….

In this case… Your greater good reasoning does not float with me…perhaps because I have seen the results of torture…up close and personal. Be that as it may…YES I would rather have my nose surgically removed than cast a vote for or support…now or in the future.. in any fashion… any democrat who voted in favor of this odious bill.

Perhaps now, you will illuminate for us all why anyone could support someone who says its ok to torture your daughter or son, or wife or mother… etc….?

Still, Woodward’s book may mark a turning point. You know things are bad when the court stenographer starts to bite the hand that has been feeding him.

Well, I’m not convinced and I’m kind of playing around trying to inject a bit of humor into this mess, but I’ll cool it with the nazi comparisons, unless I start seeing more plays from their playbook.

Seeg–Hi-El-Dumya.

It’s kinda rollin easier off my tongue.

Mason – You did spell putsch correctly. However, Hitler’s putsch failed; the Nazi’s were handed power in an obstensibly legal vote by the parlaiment (the Enabling Act).

Also, Goebels joined the Nazi party in 1924, and Hitler’s attempted putsch was in 1923, so I am not sure how Goebels was involved in writing the Nazi’s “script” at the time.
