No secret meeting, no poll-who here is with me demanding the prosecution of Bush administration

[bobthedrummer]

criminals by the Obama administration?

Crimes against humanity, war profiteering, espionage and TREASON (among other crimes) have been committed by these corrupt Bush/Cheney apparatchiks and their networks.

No one is above the rule of law. I'm sure I'm not alone and I'm sure I'm not going to simply "move on"...these people have got to be held accountable.

If you have similar feelings, if you've been harmed (as we all have) by these criminals and demand prosecution stop in and say hi.

:hi:
:patriot:

[tblue]

1. I'm in!

[guitar man]

2. yep

put 'em under the jail! :hi:

[noiretextatique]

3. count me in

:hi:

[tekisui]

4. Until the day I or the criminals die!

[Bluzmann57]

5. Even somthing as "simple" as theft.

For the way they are stealing us blind.
So, Hi. :hi: :patriot:

[screembloodymurder]

I'm in.

March on DC.

[barbtries]

62. when?

i'm on the east coast now, make it a weekend and i'll be there. i am ready.

[EFerrari]

6. Yes.

[StarryNite]

7. I'm in!

[rurallib]

8. I am for what Obama said earlier - investigate and prosecute where it

is called for. I have no doubt where it will lead.

[stuntcat]

9. until Bush dies I'll want him retro-impeached

he should be publicly punished so everyone who voted for him will feel shame instead of the pride so many still have.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

179. I feel the same way. It drives me crazy to see that there are still people...

...who put Bush on a pedestal.

[anndash]

10. Count me in

Sadly, I doubt it will happen. I would like to see Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice convicted by an international court. That would be true karma.

[HEyHEY]

11. At least an investigation would be nice

[wryter2000]

12. I supported Jerry Ford pardoning Nixon

I thought the message had gone through loud and clear enough that the President couldn't corrupt our Constitution and get away with it. I never, in my wildest dreams, imagined that 30 years later we'd be seeing worse.

I'm with you.

Honestly, what I most want to happen is for 'murika's nose to be rubbed in the shit that they've allowed to happen. I want the "waterboarding is okay because we haven't been attacked since 9/11" to hear about the rapes of little boys at Abu Ghraib. I want them to have to sit through the gruesome details of what happened to people who were rendered to other countries for torture. I want them to have to hear about how billions of their tax dollars went missing in Iraq without a trace. I want them to hear about our troops eating contaminated fod, drinking contaminated water, getting electrocuted in their showers to Dick Cheney's company could make a profit.

I want it all out so the people who've supported this bunch of liars, thugs, and murderers have to realize their own complicity. Most of all, I don't want this ever, ever to happen in this country again.

[barbtries]

64. i was disgusted by the pardon

of a crime that had not even been charged. i did think i'd never see a worse president than nixon, or one that i would hate as i did him. was i ever wrong.

[Downtown Hound]

13. Oh I'm totally with you

But I also don't think it has a chance in hell of happening. Bush will probably never get his due justice int his life. But I do think that he will live out his days knowing that he's remembered as a failure.

Is that enough for the crimes he committed? Hell no. But for us, it will likely have to do.

[Independent_Liberal]

19. I will say this...

How many of you thought Cheney and Gonzo being indicted in Texas would ever happen? A lot of you guys didn't see that coming.

Peace,
IL
:)

[Downtown Hound]

35. Being indicted is one thing

actually doing prison time is quite another. Hey, let me say this:

I WOULD LOVE IT IF I WAS WRONG!

[rhett o rick]

123. Was it state or federal indictments? If state, I don't think Bush can pardon them. nm

[DB1]

14. If we can afford 700 billion corporate bailout, why not a few million for the constitution. k/r

[Frosty1]

15. Me too!

[robinlynne]

16. oh yes!

[Independent_Liberal]

17. You have my support.

:)

[BeFree]

18. Marching to the same drum, here!

[TripleKatPad]

20. Thumbs up

But I have no illusions that it will ever happen.

[Independent_Liberal]

22. I bet you never had any illusions...

...that Cheney and Gonzo would be indicted in Texas the other day either. Well, were you shocked or weren't you?

[bluesmail]

21. I'll do what I can, and that's dialoging. Yes.

[Octafish]

23. Please, count me in.

Should the economy not collapse and the nation descend into an "Escape from New York" level of chaos, We the People are going to be a busy lot come Jan. 20, 2009. There is not be enough room in Gitmo for all the traitors, warmongers, mass-murderers, child-abusers, gangsters, thieves, liars and all manner of sociopaths and psychopaths that make up the Bush "administration." Perhaps French Guiana will allow us use of Devil's Island.

[pacalo]

24. Justice has a bi-partisan ring to it, wouldn't you think? I will never "move on"!

:hi:

[varelse]

25. here's my not so secret support

for justice :patriot:

[supernova]

26. Absolutely, count me in

:patriot:

:D

[madokie]

27. Ours is a government of laws not of men

so yes I am in.

[arthritisR_US]

28. damn straight, and, Hi! .....

:hi: :fistbump:

[slipslidingaway]

29. I'm with you :) n/t

[kas125]

30. I'm most definitely with you. No rest for those criminals, EVER!

[Canuckistanian]

31. Cheney's war profiteering is the worst

And he knows it. Hallibuton should have it's corporate charter revoked.

And for that reason, Cheney should be heading for the anals (no sp. mistake) of history.

[underseasurveyor]

32. Me!

I'm with you all the way:hi:

Book em Dano:-)

[mike_c]

33. me! recommended....

I live for the day Bush and Cheney answer for their crimes.

[HillbillyBob]

34. You are not alone. I have been saying same thing and getting

verbally smacked around for calling that heinous shit in the WhiteHouse a f king crook since the supine courtiers declared the son of a bitch the winner instead of the whiner.
I have been calling for impeachment or arrest since the get go.

[Sinistrous]

36. Prosecution is not an option.

It is an absolute necessity if the Constitution is to ever again have the force of law. Without the Constitution, the United States will not exist.

[keepthemhonest]

37. with ya

The must be held accountable.No forgive in the name of bipartisonshit here.

[southerncrone]

38. Duh! Anyone who cares about this nation, its citizens, & truth would.

:hi:

[sazemisery]

39. K& R for Justice, Prosecution and the outcome thereof. n/t

[leftofthedial]

40. justice for the bush criminals is the OPPOSITE

of Obama's agenda.

[hootinholler]

41. I have a dream

Of being a Bush Hunter, similar to the Nazi hunters after WWII.

-Hoot

[readmoreoften]

42. In. Especially if it leads to the death penalty.

The sans-culottes want to be entertained by a head-rolling race. My bet is on Rove's big roundie.

[undergroundpanther]

45. yeah the death penalty for tyrants

It's the CONSTITUTIONAL thing to do. Let them DIE for their crimes.

[RC]

194. Normally I am against the death penalty, but in this case there needs to be a

cleansing of the gene pool.
Guillotine, burning at the stake, etc. Someway to make it hard to fake an execution.

[dana_b]

43. definitely

a lot of people I know don't understand and say "what good would it do now?". What I don't understand is their attitudes.

[undergroundpanther]

44. Oh hell yeah!!

all of his admin,associates and business contacts too.And..after we get him impeached and sentenced send him,Rove,Kissinger and all the rest of those recycled neocons the names the pop up in every rethug administration,send them all to the Hague.
Let them face the music.

[Two Americas]

46. with you

No "moving on," no "looking forward," no "healing."

[clyrc]

47. Saying hi

I read The Fall of the House of Bush a few weeks ago- I fully support prosecution

[Kitty Herder]

48. I'm with you. nt

[cliffordu]

49. I'm in! The hague for the bunch!!

[spoony]

50. k/r If we're a nation of laws then no one can be above them.

[bertman]

51. Charged, tried, found guilty, executed for high treason. Justice for the unjust.

[Lilith Velkor]

52. Fuckin' A.

[magellan]

53. Hi!

Those who say "move on" can bite me. I have no respect for anyone who thinks prosecuting BushCo isn't important.

[Joe Fields]

54. I would be proud to lead the parade.

I have been calling for just that for forever, even when it was unpopular. It is a must do situation, if the whole country can move forward.

[Jim Sagle]

55. Fuckin' A.

[Greyhound]

56. Hi.

:hi:
I just wish I had some hope of anything actually being done, but I'm too old and have seen this (certainly on a smaller scale, but still...) too many times before.
Here's hoping I'm completely wrong.:toast:

[leveymg]

57. Lock him up and take his Xanax script away. That'll wipe that stupid smile off his face.

[Nostradammit]

58. Sign me up.

Those who would abuse their positions of authority must be made to serve as an example to all who come after.

We cannot let huge crimes go unpunished and still pretend to be a civilization.

[OneBlueSky]

59. love to see it . . . but it won't happen . . .

the establishment (including Obama) will never go for seeing a former U.S. president in the defendent's chair at a trial that would be an international circus . . . simply won't happen . . .

[MissMarple]

60. We have never seen an administration this corrupt, so willing to shred and burn the Constitution.

So willing and to actually do so. I'm in.

And, Agent Mike, I hope to God you are with us. This is lawful. Quite so. MM

[barbtries]

61. after the ending of the wars,

it's number one on my personal list of what has to happen. HAS to.

[shadowknows69]

63. Of course, and now I'm depressed because I'm certain it won't happen.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

65. Bloody hell yes.

:kick:

[Festivito]

66. Justice is the first establishment of our Constitution.

It should be honored.

[dweller]

67. ...

:kick:


dp

[Cults4Bush]

68. If there is no accountability than its hypocrisy as usual....

Specifically in the eyes of the "people" of the world. Not their leaders.

[JackRiddler]

69. Machiavelli says: If the Obama admin doesn't pursue the real Bush mob crimes...

they will turn around and make up bogus crimes with which they will hamstring the Obama administration.

See: 1993-2000. Clinton laid off Iran-Contra, CIA-drugs, BCCI and the S&L plunder; in return he did not get the wished-for "moving on" and bipartisan constructive agenda, but eight years of Whitewater, bullshit adultery charges, Monica, etc. etc.

Not that this is the right reason to pursue justice for high crimes and genocide, but I'm afraid the self-proclaimed pragmatists (those who want to lose before even trying to win) need to have this insight before they can support the cause of justice.

So if you want Rezko and Wright redux, vote to "move on."

[Indepatriot]

70. Off with their heads!

[But....]

71. Where do you need me..

I'm there:bounce:

[BlueMTexpat]

72. Count me in.

It's long, LONG overdue. :toast:

[BREMPRO]

73. I agree, but i don't think Obama will pursue this to retain "unity"

We do need however to follow the law and the constitution and if the congressional investigations clearly show prosecutable crimes, then I do believe he won't stand in the way of the pursuit of Justice.

[KansDem]

74. Agreed! No more "Lee Hamiltons!!!" (nt)

[Mabus]

75. I'm in. I got an e-mail that a group I'm involved with has been spied on

Apparently working on the climate crisis makes me a terrorist. Here's the e-mail I received yesterday:

Dear (my name),

I never thought I'd write an email like this. I never thought that members of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network staff would be spied on by the Maryland State Police as we peacefully and legally promote windmills and solar panels!!

But that's what's happened. We have recently been notified that the Maryland State Police kept intelligence files on four members of the CCAN staff, including myself. Outrageously, while peacefully and legally fighting global warming through grassroots organizing, we were "suspected of involvement in terrorism." Read a recent Baltimore Sun article for more background.

(my name), we need to fight back to protect our civil liberties. Without a strong democracy and civil protections, we cannot have strong and lasting environmental protections. CCAN is demanding full disclosure and reform in the face of this tawdry police spying affair, but we need your help.

There's more to the e-mail but this is the crux of the message.

[SammyWinstonJack]

76. Count me in!

[Soylent Brice]

77. red 5 checking in

[Downtown Hound]

97. Dude, that's Red 2

Luke was Red 5.

You so fail the geek test! :spank:

114. ceiling cat in league with Downtown Hound!!!

[Downtown Hound]

120. Downtown Hound and Ceiling Cat may be biological enemies

But in this case, he approves of Ceiling Cat!

LOL!

[snappyturtle]

78. K&R I vote yes! Count Mr. Snappy as a 'yes' too! nt

[The Hope Mobile]

79. yes, definitely!! nt

[mopinko]

80. one more term

and a whole bunch more of them, too.

[emald]

81. abscent any prosecution of *'s cabal

we will have no change. Obama may just be the same thing as the old thing, with a slightly different color. After all he was a senator, a club which yesterday saluted a seven time convicted felon. I fear no change is forthcoming and the lack of prosecution would cement this.

For all that is hopeful about our country I demand, along with these others, that prosecution of crimes against the constitution by GWBushit and his idiot regime be made forthwith.

Unfortunately, hope seems a ways off to me.

No prosecution, no change.

[tomp]

121. YES!!!! somebody gets it!!!

still waiting for change.

[vduhr]

82. I'm in!!!!

83. I am but it wll never happen.

President "Change" will make sure the powder is kept dry.

[AsahinaKimi]

84. book him dano..

:patriot:

[orbitalman]

85. I've been ready, it seems, FOREVER . . .

It has been Pelosi who has been holding things up. We must get rid of her at some point. Now that it is too late, "prosecution" is left and Bush pardons can't be granted after the fact (which may actually turn out better justice-wise).

[OwnedByFerrets]

86. We MUST demand it of our representatives.

[duhneece]

87. Only by the O admin? I want the ICC at the Hague to try ...

I want the UN's International Criminal Court to try the entire Bush administration for crimes against humanity.
I am 100% opposed to capital punishment, but IF it had been right to hang Saddam, then it would also be right to hang Bush.

[Individualist]

88. Yes to justice,

but our government "representatives" no longer represent us (with very few exceptions).

[L. Coyote]

89. "who here is with me demanding the prosecution of Bush administration" is sooo 1992.

If only it had been accomplished then, the last 8 years of Bush redux could have been avoided.

Problem is the pardon power of the President is not limited by Presidential corruption unless Congress acts in time.
And pardon season is fast approaching again. How much protection from prosecution will be handed out this time? And how much future corruption will that enable?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

90. Nations MUST admit their faults and punish the guilty

Otherwise the evil festers and poisons the whole country.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

91. We cannot make the same mistake as we have in the past.

Too may times we have let these political criminals off the hook in the name of unity and moving on. Well I say enough. That sends the message you are free and clear to fuck with the country nad its people without fear of real consequences.

BushCo. needs to go down, adn go down hard.

The message to future Bush/Cheney types must be you do NOT get to fuck with us. :mad:

Anything else is leaving the door open for people even more criminal that the current crop.

[relayerbob]

92. Yes, but Bush will pardon everyone in sight first

[MasonJar]

93. What do we do? I'm in!

[NorCalDem]

94. I'm down, but it won't happen :( n/t

[crim son]

95. I'm with you, unreservedly.

The U.S. has already lost much of its credibility due to those crooks; if we don't prosecute them, we cannot claim to be a civilized, let alone a leading nation.

[waiting for hope]

96. I'm in - but not going to hold

my breath on this one.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

98. Count Me In...

Bush and cronies should ALL be prosecuted for their crimes and it can't happen to soon for me.

[StreetKnowledge]

99. Would Love to See it

But I really don't think it'll happen. How many ex-Presidents have ever been indicted?

[The Wizard]

165. How many were

International war criminals?

[Ganja Ninja]

100. I'd rather see it done by the world court.

[condoleeza]

101. I'm in too

It is quite literally the first thing on my mind every morning, so I guess I must be dreaming about it too.

[prostock69]

102. HELP! Does anyone here know where I can get a timeline

of all of the crimes Bush and his administration has committed? More precisely, I am interested in when all the regulations, new laws, and executive orders were signed to allow him to commit these crimes. I am in the process of putting together a presentation for my parents and siblings who are clueless about what the Bush Administration has done. I just got done watching Naomi Wolfe's You Tube interviews on her book "The End of America: A Letter to a Young Patriot". Link is below for those interested.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH5U-BPJor4&feature=PlayList&p=F32E09FB4FB44B03&index=0&playnext=1

Anyways, she says there are 10 steps that despot or dictator has taken in the past to come into power and that all the famous ones (Hitler, Stalin, Mousillini) have taken these steps and that Bush had completed many of them already on his way to destroying our democracy in order for his Christian Ideology to remain in power. An economic collapse was a major key that allowed Hitler, et al. to come in to power. Sound familiar?

I am going to be compling many videos along with articles and books for my family to view and read to convince them what really has been going on beneath their noses. I try to tell them on the phone but they don't believe me and tell me I'm a conspiratists. I need hard evidence. A time-line would go a long way in helping me.

Thanks.

[SalviaBlue]

103. I'm in.

[Bondor]

104. count me in

Absolutely. We have to make sure the next repug does not just trot out the same illegal stuff. laws unenforced are not laws... and we seem to be becoming a lawless nation.

[Sinti]

105. To be a "nation of laws" I think they have to act.

They have to investigate and prosecute. Another one of these, "we just want to know what went wrong, no blame," investigations is totally worthless. IMO, what's been done in Gitmo and Abu Ghraib are (or should be) considered crimes against humanity. Torture is a crime - no wiggle room. Of course, if I were going into the executive branch right now I'd hold my water, until * is gone, not wanting to show my hand.

If Obama doesn't want to see justice done in the case of *co, not only will he be hamstrung by their efforts to discredit him on flimsy human frailties, but they will be back. They always come back, they come back stronger and more deadly, like a bacterial infection when you don't take all your antibiotic.

They should have never let Sir George 41 slide and continue to enrich himself while bringing death and misery to others. It's not a matter of vengeance or hard feelings any more than it was a matter of vengeance or hard feelings putting away Ted Bundy. You cannot allow war-profiteering thugs such as these to roam free in the world, if you want your world to be a decent place to live in.

That said, if we fail to do so the ICC may indict them without us. They don't have authority to indict for aggressive war, but they can for torture and various other criminal acts. It's not above their pay grade. If they do we then refuse to offer the criminals up... that makes us an accomplice to the crimes. Suffice to say, we would no longer be held in high esteem on the world stage. Of course, I'm not sure why we are or if we are now.

:hi:

[robertpaulsen]

106. I'm with you! So is Bugliosi!

Any state attorney generals willing to join us?

[Mithreal]

107. Their crimes are too great to be prosecuted

America just nust needs to move forward, not look back to the past, not let Bush's crimes interfere with the PE's agenda, not burden the Congress with the past, forgive and forget, turn the other cheek, and make friends across the aisle.

I am with you, investigate and prosecute.

I know that if we do not, then worse US Presidents than Bush will have the courage to commit crimes against humanity and our democracy. Prosecuting Bush and his minions to the fullest extent of the law should serve as a deterrent. If the Democrats do not pursue justice for those that have been wronged, then I really do believe we are weak on crime. I hate saying it, it turns my stomach, no kidding.

110. I agree ... if we don't follow law and hold officials accountable...

where does that lead us except to more corruption--?

The '63 coup on government/JFK was never honestly investigated and they

then began to "fix" elections beginning with the large computer counters

used by media for reporting -- and then adding computer voting machines.

Two journalists began to investigate this in the late 1960's --

bobthedrummer

I am all for it. let the bastards and thief's who have been ruining your wonderfully country be arrested, and make them a real trial where the guilty one are been proved as what everyone in the world know they are..

If they are not been hold accountable, they WILL BE BACK in 4 or 8 year and harm you again.. It is so important for the world, and US to take them out, and put them where they are, in prison.. If find guilty that is...

Not just "move on" and play the "good gay": After 8 year with misuse and foul play it is time to get back. And prove that NO ONE is over the LAW, that be international or national law..

Have not been harmed by these criminals, but I do believe it is important, very important to get them, and to prove for the rest of the world that YOU are cleaning the house when you are finding out what have been happened in 8 years time..Not just let the crimes, and themselves be "forgotten" by time.. Put them on trial, that be in your own country or in an international setting.. To really prove that US still are something res enable to a law bidding country.. Where no one is over the law, not even the President of the United States.. And if the President is doing crime, he will be arrested, and convicted and put into a prison cell regardless if he have been president for 8 year or not...

When the republicans could play hardball with Clinton over this lewinsky affair... Who was a taste of very bad judgment of mr Clinton's part, maybe even stupid judgment. But no war crimes was been made, and the Treasury was not cleaned in the proses. In fact the US had a little surplus when Clinton was leaving the office.. Not been seen in more than 30 year. If the republicans could fight him every step then the democrats, and the moderate republicans still in Senate and Congress could fight this together, and make sure that this criminality, that be public or private are something that US never will experience once again.. Take out the Neo-cons and put them where they belong, in mental hospitals...

Diclotican

Sorry my bad english, not my native language

[sorval]

140. all crimes

Until we start holding criminals accountable in the highest levels of our government, We'll continue to see them do horrific stuff-- crimes against humanity even.. because why the heck not do what you want if you're in that position? who will stop them if the people of the US wont? Literally--No one else can. They need to fear and respect the concept of justice just like everyone else does. While they have no respect for justice, they will do what they want, in our names, and whatever they do will be partially our fault. The laws protect the rest of the world (and also us) from tyranny, but only if the laws are *enforced*.

We can start with Bush/Cheney/Gonzales. Then after they are led away in chains I'd like to see us go back to the Ford administration, including Reagan/Bush Sr.'s October surprise. If Bush Sr left hostages in torture to win an election he needs to be tried for treason. As for Nixon--the Ford Administration didn't have the right to circumvent justice for the expediency of "moving along" and "not getting bogged down in the past". It was shameful that they were permitted to go down that path. "Greatest generation" my arse. Thats the generation that led us down this path of crimes and lawlessness in the halls of power. Thanks!

Upholding the law is these people job and DUTY. It doesnt matter if it takes a long time, get it done. If they can't or won't respect and enforce our laws, they need to be removed, and possibly endicted themsalves. People like Pelosi need to go away.

145. No forgiveness! No moving on!

Put these fuckers behind bars or they'll be back at it again in just a few years.

Let the history books show that we put each one of them in solitary for life and never let them see the sun again.

[Oak2004]

148. If the new administration thinks that it can restore its international standing by letting

war criminals run free, they are badly mistaken.

Americans tortured non-Americans. Americans invaded a country without provocation. Americans kidnapped and imprisoned non-Americans around the globe. An American president and American Congress can't just walk away from that, saying "Now we're moving on, looking forward, lets forgive and forget". If they try that they may discover that they remain international pariahs.

Not to mention that those of us, Americans, who had our Constitutional rights and our property stripped from us by the government and their corporate buddies, might not be so eager to have to government absolve itself and declare the matter over. Thinking the last four years can just be ignored as if they never happened is a big mistake.

Obama and the Democratic Congress have two choices. One: emulate FDR and Truman (inclusive of the Nuremberg trials).

Two: make weak decisions, try halfway measures, and emulate Kerensky.

[dreamnightwind]

149. Yes!

I really think our country, and the rest of the world too, needs a public accounting for what has happened so that we can heal these wounds. Dig up every crime these guys were responsible for, and make 'em pay. They deserve it, and we need this to happen.

153. There is a way Obama can do this and not receive much flak or appear partisan

In July, he has his UN Ambassador request that the Security Council convene a special court to investigate whether war crimes or crimes against humanity were committed by the US or the administration regarding the matters surrounding the Iraq war.

Boom, over, done with, Obama and his administration would not be involved in carrying this out, only providing discovery if required.

[whoopingcrone]

154. me, too

... and make it happen soon, so it can happen during my lifetime.
I'm too old <79> to wait for the World Court to do its' thing.

158. Remember how Valerie Plame Wilson was actually tracking real WMD's and thwarting proliferation-like

the A.Q. Khan network--then these traitorous criminals revealed her identity and most likely got a lot of brave people killed, among other things?

The Wilson's aren't giving up. Here's an update (11-18-2008) from CREW about them

"Court of Appeals Denies Rehearing in Wilson Case-Wilsons Will Take Case Against Bush to Supreme Court"
http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/35536

Wisconsin Representative Tammy Baldwin (D) introduced legislation that would allow for prosecution of these criminals and negation of all the unconstitutional and extremist "policies" and "laws" that papered over our Constitution, Bill of Rights, international treaties and agreements that were violated, etc.

Rep. Baldwin's legislation is titled The Executive Branch Accountability Act of 2008.

DUer davidswanson posted about this Act last September after it was introduced-here's a link for those unfamiliar with it
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/baldwinbill

Kick, and I'm glad to be with other citizens that feel strongly about returning the rule of law and our Constitution to The United States of America.

163. I'm not the vindictive type..................but.

these are BAD guys. Some of the worst, historically. The worst thing about the Bush Administration is the way they have convinced a large segment of the citizenry that they are all goodness and light.

[Pyrzqxgl]

164. The Smirks have got big retribution to pay & it has to be!

[Richard D]

166. It's critical

though I think we might have to wait till term two to see it happen.

[judesedit]

167. Absolutely!

And not to live out his days in a plush penthouse type of weekend lockup. I'm talking hardcore prison, where he, and the rest of his heinous crew, belong. Although I know God will handle them, it would sure make me feel good to know that he will be treated the same way as you or I would be by him. I hope they live a real, real long life there, too. The truth ALWAYS comes out in the end and justice prevails. It's the law of balance.

Hang 'em high!

[ima_sinnic]

171. what difference does it make if the vast majority of Americans wants it

but those with the power to carry it out, won't?

This is the second thread asking for support for this idea. It's well supported, but so what?
I could not find one practical suggestion for how to make this happen in either thread. I have no idea what to do.

So, yeah, I'm for it and so is everybody else, but so what?

[WillyT]

172. You... Betcha !!!

Sorry.

:spank:

:evilgrin:

[sce56]

173. To ignore the lawlessness of the past eight years is to invite it to happen again!

Prosecuting criminals and enforcing the rule of law is the "Change we been hoping for"

[Just-plain-Kathy]

180. "Error: you can only recommend threads which were started in the past 24 hours"

I guess it's only fitting the recommends ended at a "gross" number.

[pamorlan]

181. Obama administration for the rule of law?

I hope the Obama administration holds all Bush administration criminals accountable for their crimes. If they don't then they will send a message to the world that we are for the rule of law unless someone has connections that place them above the law.

[TheKentuckian]

182. Destroying this bogus philosphy is even more important. First priority.

If hanging 'em high doesn't derail knocking the stupid-evil out of some noggins and teaching the world the fucked up wickedness of Republicanisim then I'm all in, even up to actually stringing them up, which I never approve of the state dealing with but this crew disgraces us by the mere fact we have not risen up with torch and pitchfork and forcibly removed these hellspawn to the point that all options should be on the table.

[proReality]

183. I want to see them brought to justice ASAP. n/t

[Somawas]

184. I'm for it.

[4lbs]

185. I'd like it to happen. Doubt it will happen. Won't whine and cry when it doesn't happen.

I'm looking at it from a realistic point of view.

Bush and Cheney will be busy innoculating themselves from any prosecution over the next 60 days.

[wideawakenow]

186. I too would like Bush and his band of thieves to pay-BUT

I too would like Bush and his band of thieves to pay-BUT then it would be an all out war with the Repubs in Congress and we wouldn't have half a chance of passing much needed legislation. So, if the options are to punish Bush OR get something done for the country I opt for the latter because Bush will get his. Even if he has to come back in his next life as all the types of people he fears or hates-a gay, minority, poor, intelligent, atheist, pro-choice, woman.

[carnie_sf]

187. Damn straight

We can't let this turn out like the Iran Contra mess.

[fasttense]

188. They will ferment with all their stolen wealth and come back again

stronger and meaner, if we don't prosecute them now.

[Speed8098]

189. Yes, they should be prosecuted.

Right wingers are going to try and say no crimes were committed, but they are wrong.

Wiretapping without a warrant. while a minor crime, is enough to start an invsetigation which will lead to the larger crimes comitted by this piece of shit regime that stole our election in 2000.

No to mention the 16 words George Tenet told bush to leave out of his SOTU speech on the yellowcake from Niger.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

190. Yes, but other priorities need to be dealt with first.

I absolutely want to see the entire fubar bunch of them hang. But there are so many emergencies to face, it would be a distraction, sad to say.

How about a nation-wide class action suit??

[LWolf]

191. I've always been for prosecution of the bush administration.

For what it's worth.

[barbiegeek]

192. Yes--but how do we do it and stand for Unity & 2012 re-election of Dems

I agree. I'm just asking the strategic question. These Bastards came back AFTER NIXON...NIXON, butchering Carter and giving us only 1 term. How the heck did these Republicans come back after Nixon?

I don't know how we do it and keep Obama above the fray?

[EvilChime]

193. Accountability

Count me in on this one . . . we are a nation of laws, and they have broken more than their share and should be held accountable. We didn't have a Congress willing to do its job of impeachment, now it's the people's turn to do it through the plain ol' judicial process. Not sure we have a jury of peers low enough, but we could try ;).

[alllyingwhores]

195. Oh no...it's time to move on..no time to hold anyone accounta..F__K IT! NAIL THE F__KERS ALREADY!!

[Swamp Rat]

196. Way'at!

:hi:

[bobd0]

197. Too late to recommend but here's a kick.

They should certainly face the consequences for their myriad crimes. "We are a nation of laws!" "No one is above the law!" Until these criminals are held accountable there is no way we can seriously make either of those claims.
