Poll question: Which should we investigate first? |
|
I feel like a kid in a candy store. There's just so much to choose from and they all look so good...
I can't decide, which one would you choose to investigate first?

Oh, I want to see the minutes of that meeting. I want to see what went on with rolling blackouts and manipulation of the energy markets.

I don't really care what gets investigated first just as long as we investigate it all.

12. Truthfully, I don't think we could investigate it all... |
|
They'd essentially have to dump all the evidence onto the net and let us spend the next 10 years digging through it all to even cover half of the shit they've done. That might not be such a crazy idea... remember, the Pukes posted Nuclear Secrets on the web looking for Saddams WMD. I'm sure we could post Gannon's visits to the White House without causing too much of a national security incident.

11. Yup just go in order... starting with the Energy Task Force |
|
and moving on through 9/11, the Patriot Act, Iraq War, Abu Grahib, Wiretapping, etc, etc,. We don't even need to go after them for all the stoopid shit they pulled, just the illegal stuff..

29. If we see that hostile takeover of Iraqi National Oil was being planned |
|
in these meetings (remember those oil maps showing the oilfields divided up?), it sort of exposes the lie that WMD was the reason to invade, don'tcha think? I'm pretty sure invading a country and killing its citizens to steal their national resources is a war crime.
So, I'd start there...it's also in temporal sequence. That will probably the 1st of many findings in the Bill of Impeachment.

|
These guys stole our car... wrecked it on the highway going 120 miles an hour and now we got to figure out a way to get to work in a busted ride. They're not going to stick around... the minute the SCOTUS hands down the decision that they have to testify before Congress both Bush and Cheney are going to run back to their big piles of money and never look back.

41. They'll never get to meet their maker... |
|
...and above all the tragedies over the past few years, this is probably the most tragic. God won't bare to look at them after all they've done. Yes, he is forgiving but there are somethings that he said he can't forgive... they've reveled in doing them all. The most tragic thing I can think of is the death of a soul and these guys have killed theirs long ago.
As for Mary, she was only out stumping... she'll get put back in her closet where they think she belongs and we won't hear much from her again. My guess is, there's going to be a lot of people slipping away quietly and quickly over the next few months and we'll probably be free of their brand of ignorance for a few years. I never thought I'd say this but I think we've just witnessed the controlled demolition of the neocon agenda and those who tried to sell it to the American people will either slip quietly away or just fizzle out and dissappear... leaving us to handle the wreckage they've left behind.

Let Sibel Edmonds tell her story and follow all that up. Sibel has said her story interconnects with many of the other scandals. It's germane to the Plame leak, corruption, espionage, in fact it seems to have every element except sex.

Cheney's energy task force, including the map of Iraq and how much of it each oil baron was supposed to get. Then 9/11. Then the anthrax attacks against oh-so-convenient political targets. Then the lies leading up to the Iraq war. Then the massive corruption that runs all though the GOP. Then election fraud and GOP multistate racketeering in 2000, 2004, and this year. Those robocalls had to originate somewhere.
By the time they plow through all that, committee by committee, the public should be thoroughly sick of the GOP and the horse they rode in on.
Lots of them will go to jail. In the meantime, we will ruin all the rest of their days in power.

The Bush administration has been one long unbroken crime spree - it's all tied together and inter-related. It will all begin to unravel before we even get to the investigating Iraq War.

35. It's an awesome number of scandals when you think about it |
|
How are they going to find the time and staff to handle all these investigations? We could even start with the Koch scandal that happened about one or two months into the Bush administration back in early 2001, about the fact that Bush's Justice Department dropped almost all criminal charges (100 years of prison time pending against the executives of a major corporate polluter and over $350 million in pending fines when Clinton left office reduced to zero prison time and only $20 million) against the Koch Energy Company, which was one of the largest campaign contributors to Bush's political career. That scandal happened so long ago we don't even remember it here anymore.
How is the legislative branch going to be able to get to all of this mess in only two years? Divide them up between the House and Senate?

I just want to... There are somethings so shameful, it's too hard to mention... Katrina is probably the most shameful incident in American history... bar none. We should Impeach Bush if for no other reason than Katrina and we need to make sure FEMA is fully funded and staffed with the absolute best people in the country. We also need to make sure we send a Marshall plan package down to the Gulf coast ASAP.

His wickedness has earned him an eternity of hearing the agonizing death shreiks of those he is responsible for murdering. There's somethings that you just can't atone for or run away from and I feel pity for anyone who has such a ruined soul and such a bleak and miserable future to look forward to. I don't have much mercy to offer him but I do pity that wretched lump of flesh.
