Subject: Re: [IP] more on stature? Hey all,David - it certainly seems to be true - although there are people of what some might call stature who are saying it. Clinton is against it. Scads of military types too. The serious disappointment here is Senator Reid. Even without the habeas bit it would be worth filibustering for only 4 more days fer chrissakes.
And no Republicans. And no one with serious face time in the MSM. I'm looking
at *you* evening anchors.Thank goodness my leader (Harper) only has a minority government otherwise, good little lapdog that he is, the same stuff would happen here. Who knows, our
unelected senate might refuse to endorse it. Cheers, Chris They say David Farber, on or about 26.Sep.2006 16:22, whispered:

You want somebody of "stature" to stand up to the bullies and a**holes who can't see how torture degrades them in theeyes of the world? The problem is that "stature" today means a well-known person who has made a career ov being an opportunistic suck-up to the rich andpowerful. Someone who lacks personal courage and builds his reputationby paying image consultants like people used to pay hairdressers. Being saved by a coward seems unlikely.
