Bring It Bush and Cheney

There are a lot of people who want Dick Cheney to crawl back down the hole he emerged from after Obama was elected. I for one think he is the best thing for the Democratic party. I want him and George to keep at it. I want them to scream from the top of rooftops "Yes we waterboarded!! We did it because we believed it would make us safer!"

Here is why: Most Americans view waterboarding as torture. Of the people who don't think it is torture and don't think it is wrong.. well they are going to swallow what Bush, Cheney, Rush and O'Reilly feed them. These are not the people we want to join the Democratic Party. These are die hards who see what they want to see and will not listen to an opposing viewpoint, even if it makes sense and is in their best interest. No. We want the swing voters. We want the moderates. We want people who are willing to listen to both sides of the argument and make their decision based on what they think is right. We want people who believe in democracy and use their vote as a way to shape our countries future. These people will see the rhetoric of the Waterboarding argument for what it is: A chance for Bush and Cheney to avoid being tried as war criminals. A chance for them to keep their 'Legacy' from going down the crapper.

So when I see articles like this, I say BRING IT on fellas. Keep up the good work. The longer you keep arguing that torture is in our best interest, the more moderates you are going to lose from your party.

Then when I see articles like this, my heart sinks. Colin Powel has a good shot of building back the Republican Party. I don't want that. I want the Dems to have a chance at reversing the damage Bush inflicted over the last 8 years.
