Senator Al Franken: Why I Voted Against the National Defense Authorization Act

[bvar22]

78. Exactly.

I am recommending post #41 by sabrina 1:

"Did you support the Bush administration's claims it had the right to indefinitely detain people with no charges and no access to any criminal justice system?

Were you FOR the abomination known as 'Guantanamo Bay' and the kidnapping of people from various countries around the world, detained in that hell hole for years without charges?"

This is a very useful method for detecting internal hypocrisy:
*Would you support that attack on Social Security funding known as "The Payroll Tax Holiday"
if Bush & The Republicans did it?

*Would you have supported entering a Civil War in Libya without Congressional Approval if Bush did it?

*Would you have supported a Mandate to Purchase Health Insurance without a Public Option if Bush did it?

*Would you support the use of Drones to attack "suspected" terrorists in Pakistan and other countries if Bush did it?

*Would you support the use of Droned to kill the children of a "suspected" terrorist if Bush did it?

*Would you support slashing Government Spending and Tax Breaks during a Recession if Bush did it?

*Would you support the Privatization of Public Schools and attacks on the Teachers Union is Bush did it?

This list could go on and on, but you get the picture.

The Person will be gone after a few years.
We WILL be stuck with the POLICY for a LONG time.








You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
