You know Pat, there are many kinds of perversion rampant in the Republican party today. Take torture for example, which you seem very enthusiastic about. Waterboarding, electric shocks (seemingly always applied to the genitals... how perverted is THAT?), the threat of attack dogs, are- to most Americans- reprehensible acts of perversion.

Pat, you're a water carrier for Rupert Murdoch and his minions. You support shit that you don't really understand and would never have the nuts to carry out yourself. I can't imagine you standing over some guy with a pair of pliers forcing him to talk or else. But you're certainly willing to vilify anyone who opposes the idea.

If you don't have the courage of your own convictions then you're just parroting someone elses.

Awhile back I offered to buy you body armor (which the government won't give you) if you'd go to Baghdad and do a tour of duty. The offer still stands. Don't tell me you're too old either. Last week a 51 year old guardsman from Washington State was killed by a sniper. Rumsfeld's desperate. The occupation's being conducted by middle-aged pharmacists, librarians, and truck drivers. They'll take anybody Pat, including you.
