Republicans on torture--CPAC version

F-bomb warning, btw. But when I read stories about the Republican activists at CPAC, such as Republican darling Marco Rubio, I get a little annoyed:
"Moments later, he was talking about the need to kill terrorists and capture survivors.

'Waterboard them!' an audience member shouted.

The anti-Crist smiled. 'Remember the Marco Polo thing I told you?' His audience howled. 'We will get useful information from them,' Rubio went on, to more cheers, 'and then we will bring them to justice in front of a military tribunal in Guantanamo!'

The house went wild."
Tim Pawlenty also spoke, urged the crowd to follow Tiger Woods' wife's model take to government with a 9-iron. Oh, and he got his biggest applause line, according to Politico for the vapid line: "God is in charge." I say vapid because that crowd thinks that God approves of their torture.

This is your GOP. 78%, according to another poll, thinks Obama is a socialist. And CPAC's people cheer waterboarding, and dare to invoke the name of God.

What the fuck?
