Well Democrats, how's that "letting them off the hook" thing

Working out for ya?

Think the Democrats will ever decide to play nasty? Think they will ever decide to say "no Mr Bush, you cannot testify without being under oath"?. Think they will ever decide to say " Mr Gonzales, you need to spend your life behind bars" instead of "have a nice retirement"?

It is time to investigate investigate and investigate. Try them through the media, play the game just like the Reps play the game. Lock em up.

A Special Prosecutor is needed to investigate the criminal and now traitorous organization known as the GOP.

one of the first things the Democrats did was to drop all further investigation into Iran-Contra. You know, the thing for which Poppy Bush issued pre-emptive pardons for everyone involved.

Probably the biggest blunder by the Dems ever. Completely swept an actual, national-security scandal right out of the nation's memory. Repubs paid them back 2 years later when they gained control of Congress by manufacturing the Whitewater "scandal" and wasting millions trying to pin something on Bill.

one of the least talked about issues that SHOULD be talked about extensively, IMO.

But of course the Marc Rich pardon was much worse...
