Poll question: Justice in 2009? |
|
I've written off any high-level indictments as long as this set of scoundrels remain in the White House. What's the likelihood of seeing some justice in 2009?
Bush Cheney Rove Other assorted neocons Halliburton Telecoms Blackwater etc etc etc
The list is sooooooo long, let's do it by percentage of justice served - or at least started in 2009...

About "healing"... that's the codeword for looking the other direction and not prosecuting the criminals who now hold office.
I say, this nation's wounds cannot heal until the scabby pustules and dead matter and other contaminated tissue has been properly debride!!!

4. Yup. That's my feeling, too. |
|
At this point, I don't think we have any measurable chance at all.

5. I put my money on the latter spellling. LOL |

Actually, I shouldn't be laughing, but crying. COL
Agree w/all prior statements here. Healing=codeword for "scott-free" & HRC & BO have signed on.

3. I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. |
|
And if anything is done, it will be more than my expected zero.

Get used to it. They got away with it.
This could be a one time scam if we neuter corporations.
Only one electable candidate will go after corporations.
Edwards.

16. On the brightside. Bush's SS protection expires in 2019. |

Then the whole country can go to Crawford to have a heart to heart talk with him. :spank:

8. I fully expect to see a Reagan-style lack of accountability all around |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 08:12 PM by jpgray
Which is horrible but likely. My fondest hope is that at least those convicted in this administration don't make it into future administrations, as did Abrams, etc.

9. None of the top three candidates want to hold them accountable, |
|
our children and grandchildren will be dealing with the next generation of criminals.
