Hillary calling for an independent commission- says on the 27th the govt

[geekgrrl]

took over relief efforts by signing an emergency declaration so ultimately the govt was responsible for coordinating response from the 27th on!! Why isn't that fact getting more press!? That's the first I've heard of it!

She wants an independent commission b/c she says the govt can't investigate itself.

4. And when we have an independent commission

investigate we should DEMAND that EVERYONE be put UNDER OATH unlike the 9-11 commmission when the freak in chief and Cheney testified. I'm going to call her office today and request that - 1-877-SOB-U-SOB please join me in this request.

6. Why is it that the press only listens to the Clintons and Dean...

Not that I'm complaining about them, but they are the only ones that get interviews on national MSM.

7. Hillary isn't my favorite person -- way too conservative for me

But, I honestly believe she does have empathy and compassion for certain situations, especially where children are concerned. No, gang, she isn't perfect, and she's done stuff we haven't liked, but right now we have to support anything positive she's trying to push through Congress right now... we have to have a united front, and make those murderers pay as much as we can.... and, even if Hillary is political grandstanding, I don't give a damn as long as she gets press helping to throw this Admin's crimes onto the news....

bad syntax. Sorry. Just got up.

10. Hear Hear

The only way we'll get to the bottom of this is with an independent commission headed up by a democrat.

11. If they don't give up and have a commission, Dems will win the south

in 2006.

12. How about congress itself?

These commissions always end up the same. They are powerless mouthpieces for the Shrubery. Isn't congress empowered to investigate these things THEMSELVES?

13. I've heard it before. n/t
