What dangerous hard-core leftist American politician said this?
“By giving its advice and consent to ratification of this Convention, the Senate of the United States will demonstrate unequivocally our desire to bring an end to the abhorrent practice of torture.”
Yeah yeah yeah right.
"Waterboarding isn't torture", say all the good little Hannitized Dittoheads.
Fine, can you honestly say that if an American soldier was taken prisoner by the Iraqis, you would not consider it wrong for the Iraqis to waterboard said soldier?
You people sicken me. You love torture, because you get off on the thought of people suffering.

Ronald Reagan?
I looked it up on google and that's what I got even though it doesn't make much sense based on your question's text.

Ronald Reagan, referring to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, signed on behalf of the United States by Deputy Secretary of State John C. Whitehead on April 18, 1988, at the United Nations.

i do no longer evaluate myself a hard middle leftist yet i'm nonetheless disillusioned by using Pelosi's determination to no longer pursue impeachment against Bush. Pelosi does not communicate for each guy or woman interior the occasion yet she probable knows the present political certainty extra desirable than maximum.

You are trolling....
Reagan said it...and torture isn't a right wing thing...the waterboarding at issue is not viewed as torture by the people who did it...they consider torture to be actual horrendous things like pulling off peoples fingernails with pliers...or cutting off limbs or other horrible things intended to cause unimaginable pain. Not just scare them

You miss the point of the debate. Yes, Reagan did say that, and virtually every conservative that I know is against torture per se. The question is not WHETHER to torture, but what are the parameters that establish WHAT IS torture.
Everyone must draw an arbitrary line in the sand somewhere. Conservatives (or, many of them at least) say that the line should be past waterboarding. Liberals say somewhere before waterboarding.

torture is to intend to hurt and cause pain. Pulling finger nails out, attaching electrodes to the genital area. cutting someone with razor blades, whipping someone? Did we do anything of that nature?

Yeah, getting your head wet and putting panties on your head. That ain't torture. Liberal wierdos do that all the time. Now cutting someone's head off...... THAT'S torture.
