I've always been a McCain fan and if he can keep it together, he's
pretty viable as an alternative.
I also have a lot of respect for McCain. His only drawback is 25
years in the Senate.

Eisboch

Not me. He has a short fuse and he carries many liberal views,
including wanting to do away with waterboarding the captured
terrorists, even though even 30 seconds of doing so to high profile
terrorists resulted in tremendous information.

As you said, he is also long in the tooth and represents the same old
same old.

The Republicans did not offer any true conservative candidates this
election.
Being in favor of torture is a conservative view?

No wonder I don't like conservatives.
Serious question. I don't know much about waterboarding. Does it leave
any lasting physical or physiological effects?

Nope. It has proven to be effective within 30 seconds and has resulted
in solid information that resulted in stopping future terrorist attacks.

Torture? Nope.........but very effective according to reports on the
use of this technique on captured terrorists.

I've done some quick reading via Google and so far all I've found is
opinions that there can be lasting effects.

The conservatives who support waterboard don't give a damn about that,
and, of course, they are in denial about its impact, too.

I'd be happy to see waterboarding approved right after the entire Bush and
Cheney families subject themselves to it and tell us it is no biggie.

Do a simple Google search to find out how effective this technique is. A
simple 15~30 second dunking has resulted in some significant information
relating to our national security.


Yeah, I saw that claim. It's no more credible than any of the other lies
the current administration and its civilian and military supporters have
thrown out for us.
