Sherrod Brown's Vote for Torture Gets "Googled!"

Frank J. Ranelli


Sherrod Brown’s ill-fated and discouraging vote received a little more attention than I believe he wanted it to! (See Google frame capture.)

By simply going to Google, typing in "Sherrod Brown" and clicking the NEWS link before hitting search nets you the following results!

Further, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper was quick to point out, “By Thursday morning, several Web logs with Democratic bases were filled with criticism of Brown. Supporters said he had compromised his principles to avoid being labeled weak on national security.”

To date, emails and calls to Brown's office have gone unanswered. However, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper does make mention that they [Brown's camp] "issued a statement" explaining why he voted FOR the bill.

I don't think there is ever a reason to vote FOR pro-active torture and I think that Brown has "issues" if he does!
