Sherrod Brown of Ohio Capitulates to Bush and Approves Torture!
Sherrod Brown, current Congressional representative to Ohio's 13th District and Democratic nominee to unseat Republican Mike DeWine for Senator, did the unthinkable today. Brown, seen by many as a true progressive, a real liberal and a viable alternative to DeWine's sycophant sucking-up to the Bush Administration, forfeited his progressive values, moral standards and the rule of law, in order to score a few election points and votes.

One reason why we have a 1 person majority in the Senate is this. Now, some people would say that having the majority isn't doing us any good. I disagree. It's probably going to help get a Democrat elected.

1. Interesting. Did not know about that.
Good comparison. And I think we can all agree that not only do we have a one-vote majority in the Senate because of that, but Sherrod Brown is a very liberal senator who votes the right way 98% of the time.

4. Pff. Like Mrs. Lincoln saying "Aside from that, I really enjoyed 98% of the play."
