GOP debate audience cheers at the prospect of using more torture

[Cancel7]

And I disagree how? I like Tancredo. I don't think he will become President. Seriously, you act as if he is the front-runner just a little tip and he'll be sleeping at the WH and bombing holy sites around the world.

I think he did far better in this debate than last debate. That still won't make him the President.

This irrational belief that because I put something in context before I judge them to be promoting torture is simply disingenuous.

I'd like Ron Paul, but he won't be the candidate either. I do not believe our candidate was on that stage last night.

Thompson's name came up a lot last night, after the debate.

Fred Thompson, not Tommy. Different guy, still not on the stage.

Yeah, that's who I meant, mr. crankypants. Fred Thompson. Tommy Thompson, why would his name come up? Isn't he the one who looks like Howdy Doody?

I was just clarifying for those who would confuse the Governor with the Senator.

 

[uscitizen]

Well who is running that is Bush like in your opinion?

McCain and Ghouliani
for sure.

and ron Paul is a Texican. I am prejudiced against Texican presidents, based on empirical evidence.

Fair enough. I'm glad you haven't gone all-Dixie on me. The answers these GOP candiates are giving on matters of war and international relations is beyond alarming. Ron Paul is the only sane one I saw on that stage, with respect to war, torture, and foreign policy. I'd be really discouraged if I were a republican.

 

[Cancel7]

McCain and Ghouliani
for sure.

I love that - Ghouliani.

 

[uscitizen]

I love that - Ghouliani.

You heard it first here

It does kinda fit though....

Actually, the topic indicated in my thread title was never addressed.

To me, the most disturbing part of the exchange, was the blood lust in the republicans in the audience. They were enthusiastic and applauded the promises and prospects of using torture, by the aforementioned candidates.


Who applauds torture? Who gets excited and enthusiastic about it? Even if you think there are cases were torture is warranted, are you going to be happy and giddy about it?

What's wrong with these people? Do they want to be in the torture chamber themselves to watch?

They just need a bit of waterboarding themselves Cypress.....
but it would have to be performed on them by an Islamic person to add to the realism
Of course nothing that would cause organ failure, death, etc you know real torture.
The slimebags deserve it. This was a FOX invited crowd , right ?

Yes. They are the double-authoritarian personality types. They want to tell you what to do, and abuse the other, all while slavishly taking orders from their main daddy figure who rewards them by protecting them.

Yep, and it was a con crowd alright. No thinking allowed. Emoting only!

Thought is the Republican party's biggest enemy.

There's something about (some) of these rightwingers, that draws them to sadism and sadistic acts. My contention, is there is some wierd pschological connection to self-hatred. But, that's just psycho babble.

Remember when abu ghraib happened, some of the rightwing posters either applauded it, or dismissed it as good fun and pranks?

Totally. Didn't John Dean's book and research suggest that about 20% of the american population is fundamentally attraced to authoritarianism? You read that book right?

Yes. And the research dates back to early last century and it's both creepy and alarming stuff. But Cypress, when you read this book, you will find yourself so many times during it, nodding your head in complete recognition. The followers are types we know well.

Yep and they are the same people who defend, with some barely-hidden glee, abuses within our own prison system.

They are sick, sick, people.

Once again I say "The remaining Bush supporters suffer from CMD's"
