Please contact your senators and support the Gingrich proposal. Do not allow Durbin to get away with his malicious speech. Keep the pressure on the Senate and the spotlight on this Judas.
In a letter sent to United States Senators on Saturday, June 18, 2005, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called on the Senate to censure Senator Richard Durbin for his speech comparing U.S. servicemen serving in Guantanamo Bay to those of the Nazi Gestapo, Soviet KGB, and Pol Pot’s killers in Cambodia.
"Senator Richard Durbin has dishonored the United States and the entire U.S. Senate. Only by a vote to censure Senator Durbin for his conduct can the U.S. Senate restore its dignity and defend American honor," Gingrich wrote.He added, "It’s one thing for one Senator to endanger young Americans and defame America; it would be the shame of the Senate if the other 99 Senators did not stand up to defend America and to defend the reputation of our young men and women in uniform."Gingrich called Senator Durbin’s comparison "despicable."
"By voting for or against the censure, the rest of the members of the U.S. Senate can go on record and make clear how they judge Durbin’s characterization of American soldiers." Gingrich continued, "It will also send a clear message to terrorists who will use the words of a Senate leader against us that the Senate stands in support of America and our military and against those who seek to destroy the free people of the United States." Gingrich also wrote that a censure would be "justified" and that there is "historic precedent for censuring Senators whose words bring dishonor and disrepute on the Senate and impair its dignity; Senator Durbin’s words fit that precedent." Gingrich concludes the letter by calling on the Senate to act. "In this case, expressing outrage is not enough. It is time for the Senate to act. Senator Durbin must be censured now."

If he were anywhere but Illinois, Durbin the Turban (the Sheik of the burning bland) would face recall. The Senate should censure him, and the Republicans should use the audio to remind the Nation of who the Democrats are and what they believe. The Democrats have chosen their political fortunes over the Nation`s security, and they are dancing with the devil of treason.
It`s time the American public understood this.
Once again, Tim, you have outdone me. The "Sheik of the burning bland" LOL. Thanks for the humor, serious as it is.
