The question I want to see asked during a YouTube debate of Dems:

[krispos42]

I'd love to see somebody from the DU make a video clip of this question and submit it for asking during the next Democratic candidate debate with YouTube. I think how they would respond would really decide for a lot of people who they want to vote for. I'd do it, but I stutter and I'm camera shy, so I hope somebody steals this instead!!!

My name is XXXX YYYY from ZZZZ. My question is this: every American with two brain cells to knock together knows that Bush and Cheney have committed numerous and serious crimes against both the Constitution and federal law. They also know that Bush and Cheney are hiding the evidence of these crimes by using and abusing claims of executive priviledge and national security to bury the proverbial bodies.

How strong is your committment to making public every inappropriately-hidden document, event, meeting, report, and memo that Bush and Cheney buried to save themselves? And do you have the cajones to have the Justice Department investigate, indict, and try former President Bush and former Vice-President Cheney on federal felonly charges?

It would be interesting to see who vapor-locks on this issue...

1. I'd like to see the response to that too.........

Unscripted.

2. But would CNN "choose" it to air?

The only kind of adebate that I would trust at this point is the "town meeting" style. (With no campaign workers or paid professionals among those asking the questions).

3. They seem to like to drop in the occasional left-field question

Recall the furor in the Gungeon when that guy with the AR-15 asked about protecting his "baby", and Biden's response.

Kucinich and Gravel, I believe, will jump on this like a starved Chihuahua on a pork chop! And the discussion on the blogs afterwards might well be epic.

4. Jeez... nobody else wants the next president to release everything Bush is hiding?

I can't think of anything that would make the Republican's collective rectal sphincters squeeze tight enough in fear to turn coal into diamonds than, say, Kucinich vowing to make public all of the documents and such from Cheney's energy meeting in 2001. Or the documents relating to the US attorney firings.


Oh, and, um... shameless self-promoting KICK!
