Am I the only one disturbed by the fact that Congress has voted to allow the President of the United States of America to throw out the Geneva Convention? He can now accuse anyone of being a terrorist. Hold them indefinitely, TORTURE them, and NEVER has to prove that they are in fact terrorists?
Am I the only one scared by this?

No, you are not the only one. I too am seriously disturbed by this.

Goddamn. We're a rogue nation. So when are they openning those camps down in Texas?

This brings me back to Bush's comment about this country being a great dictatorship as long as HE was the dictator. And yeah, Bush throwing out the Geneva Convention scares the living 
out of me!

I've had it with the GOP. This was disgusting.
I think there were two arguments that were pretty on target:
Harry Reid (Who is a team strategist like First, he doesn't make policy, just enforces it) made an insightful comment about this being a delaying tactic. The president knows this law can never stand, and that the supreme court will shoot it down, but until they do, no one can shoot Bush down. It's like a temporary invulnerability in a videogame.
The other was Olbermann, who pointed out that Bush had snuck a retro-active self-pardon into the bill.
Democrats don't look any better than they used to, but republicans are looking a lot worse. I think this election I'd vote for the actual commies if they ran. Just about anything is better than what we have. But seriously, I can't make up my mind. Who do you vote for when you know either choice wants to start world war three?
Okay, so here's what I have so far: Steve Greenfield.

He's running on a green ticket, which means socialist backing back there somewhere, but he looks pretty libertarian, not too much to quibble. I don't agree with the cut and run, I think that's bad for Iraq, but since no one is actually proposing a *good* plan for Iraq, getting out beats a *bad* plan. He has, of course, zero chance of winning, (he can't even afford six bucks for his own domain name.)
Most importantly, he fits the 'not evil' classification.
Sorry for the little bit of threadjack, but has anyone else done this anti-evil search on their upcoming races?
