Name a candidate for President with these characteristics:

1. worried about global warming.
2. anti-torture
3. thinks abortion is murder.
4. supports a guest worker program

There are three. Brownback, Huckabee, McCain. ~Hotline

With all respect to the folks at Hotline, what can it mean to say that Brownback and McCain are “anti-torture” when they both voted for the Military Commissions Act?  Incidentally, not one Republican Senator voted against this bill, and only seven Republicans voted against it in the House: Jones, Paul, LaTourette, Gilchrest, Bartlett of Maryland, Moran of Kansas and Leach.  Leach, of course, was not re-elected, but it may be worth noting that LaTourette and Gilchrest were also later among the Republicans supporting the anti-“surge” resolution.
