People (like Gonzales) who Condone Torture Should Not Be Appointed to High Offices
1/26/2005
This is my official NO vote on the appointing of Gonzales to the position of Attorney General.
What I find particularly interesting about the Bushies: they've managed to find two cabinet members, both of them representing minority groups (a rarity for the Repubs), who are just as corrupt and slimy as they are.
If we are going to sanction torture, we then violate and desecrate the foundation of our nation and of the treaties we sign. Politicians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing people like Rumsfeld, Rice and Gonzales to exist at all in the political sphere. By condoning these actions, and by appointing people with degenerate views on how to treat prisoners, we have become our own worst enemy. The biggest act of terror has been done by ourselves, undermining our own principles for which we pretend to fight.
I urge the Senate to carefully consider the facts before letting these people take charge of anything. Vote no for Gonzales and Rice. And impeach Bush for being the lying, snivelling, warmongering bastard that he is.
