Anti-Torture Law Tests McCain's Integrity

Letter to the Editor

John McCain's anti-torture bill is a test of his personal integrity and leadership. McCain, who was tortured himself when he spend 5 years as a prisoner of war on Vietnam, sponsored this bill to try to stop Bush from torturing people that was the Communists and Nazis do. This law will make it clear that it really is illegal to torture people. Vice President Cheney however is fighting McCain's bill trying to provide a loophole to allow the torture to continue.

John McCain has been a very week advocate for his causes. He talks a good story but in the past usually caves in to what Bush wants. I think that McCain takes positions for show so that he can appear to have issues and creates the illusion that he stands for things. I think it's all and act and that McCain will cave into Bush even though he was personally tortured that way Bush is torturing others. If McCain can't get an anti-torture bill passed it's because he doesn't really want to do what it takes to make it happen.

WalMart and Politics

Letter to the Editor

I used to shop at WalMart and I used to be a WalMart stockholder back when WalMart bragged about their products being made in America. Now I'm living in California where WalMart has given Governor Schwarzenegger over a million dollars to promote his special election reforms. WalMart is now the third largest trading partner with Communist China and I'm not comfortable with communist money being pumped into our local elections. So I'm going to vote against WalMart in the elections on Tuesday because I really don't think WalMart has the best interests of the people in mind.
