1. your wish is my command
Allard (R-CO)
Bond (R-MO)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cochran (R-MS)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Stevens (R-AK)

Pretty much a murderer's row of nutjobs. Not a single one is up for re-election in 2006, by the way.

this is unreal. Twilight Zone shit... I sent a message to Allard (my senator) telling him he should be ashamed of himself.

on edit: The message I sent to Allard:
Sir, as a resident of Colorado I have to tell you I was astounded that you were one of 9 Senators to actually vote against John McCaine's Anti-Torture legislation. You voted PRO-TORTURE. Have you no sense of decency? You should be ashamed of yourself. Nothing that has happend to this country and nothing that will happen to this country gives us the right to torture fellow human beings. To be honest I don't believe a sane, compassionate person could have listened to a man who was tortured and held captive for 5 years relate his story and then go ahead and vote to allow the U.S. to condone this sort of behaviour. I truly hope the rest of the Abu Grahib photos are released to the public so my fellow Colorado residents and the rest of the U.S. population can see what you are supporting.

9. At least two of them
Sessions(AL) and Cochran(MS) couldn't be defeated in an election if they were both to get busted getting a blowjob from a transsexual prostitute in a church pew -- even if it wasn't Ann Coulter.

Doesn't matter if they have an election in 10 years or 10 days.
