    Those who vote for unconstitutional warrentless wiretaps and vote to protect the criminals that violate our privacy are not worthy of the position they hold. It's impossible to justify undermining the very essence of our constitution in order to protect it. Another sell out.

    Senator Barasso voted against the bill to end waterboarding and torture by the USA.

    I am APPAULED. We are the USA...NOT Nazi German, NOT Soviet Russia, NOT North Korea.

    My father fought in WWII to END things like this, and now the USA ENDORSES them.

    I am truly ashamed of my state for having 3 elected officials put PARTISAN POLITICS ahead of VALUES LAWS MORALS and ETHICS so that this FAILURE of a President can continue TORTURING PEOPLE.

    APPAULED and utterly ASHAMED.

    Has America REALLY COME TO THIS?

    GO Senator Barasso, RESIGN. We do nto NEED a man who would forfit his soul for the benifit of this President and this Party. I now turn my back on you and will work to have you replaced.

    You have crossed a line there is no coming back from. TORTURE? WATERBOARDING??? YOU APPROVE OF SUCH THINGS?????

    You may not have noticed but WYOMING IS SHIFTING TO THE DEMOCRATS and I am going with the majority of the state.

    Why would this senator vote no on a bill that represents the american dream?

    Its time to let this senator know that we will not vote them back into office come election time.

    Even if I didn't vote for an official that's in office, I give them the benefit of the doubt that they will do the right thing. Unfortunately Barrasso does not warrent this good faith. He recently voted down an anti-rape bill. This article explains things much better than I ever could.

    So much for looking out for the public good.

    I am amazed at the last writers, are they really from Wyoming? Somehow I don't think so. We live in rural Wyoming, and half the family works in the oil and gas industry. We love Barrasso. And voted for him, and will again. I am so proud to have a senator who can clearly talk on topic, with data and facts. I would rather have him never vote yea on anything than have him vote for something wrong.
    And by the way, waterboarding is not torture. It is just darn uncomfortable. Torture is permanent harm. Like
