Saying a platitude like "I am against torture" is a hollow statement. Other than psychopaths, who isn't? The statement is comparable to saying "I like a sunny day"
The difference is in the fine points.

If you think that, on the whole, Democrats are exploiting the issue, I think you're crazy. They're in a defensive crouch, afraid to push too hard on it for fear that another terrorist attack will happen and Republicans will accuse them of not having the stones to do what it takes to protect the country. Obviously, there are exceptions. Also, the word "exploiting" suggests that you think they're really pro-torture. (Pro-waterboarding, if you prefer.) It's hard for me to believe that anyone really thinks this.
