Which should we investigate first?

[mikelewis]

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?

[two gun sid]

1. Energy Task Force....

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.

[mikelewis]

3. That would be delicious maybe with a side of 9/11 and a dallop of Iraq...

thrown in for good measure.

[two gun sid]

9. All in good time my friend...

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

[mikelewis]

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.

[walldude]

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..

[Old and In the Way]

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.

[mikelewis]

34. You know damn well they'll resign long before we get a chance to impeach...

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.

[smtpgirl]

39. In reality mikelewis, that is what will probably

happen, those assholes will meet their maker sometime in their miserable lives, hope it is sooner than later.

BTW, what ever happened to Mary Cheney?

[mikelewis]

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.

[yurbud]

25. that could conceivably put stink on Arnold too

[two gun sid]

27. I'm not sure but I think Davis was Gov ...

when the blackouts happened. I believe a repug was gov. when the CA energy markets were deregulated.

[yurbud]

44. Arnold met with Ken Lay during blackouts and Bush came out here to tell

Davis that he wouldn't make regulators do their jobs.

[brentspeak]

2. The missing billions sent to Iraq

That's hard-earned taxpayer money needed for everything under the sun here in the United States.

[mikelewis]

6. What was the last tally... $9 billion or so?

[William769]

4. Alphabetically?

NO, that would take to long!

[Gwerlain]

5. Plame is the gateway...

to all the rest.

[mikelewis]

10. ROVE

Now that would be sweet.... Can you imagine Rove facing off against Boxer, Biden and Kerry? ... and being forced to testify under oath, nonetheless? Yeah, I'm drooling already.

[sandnsea]

7. DSM

That's the proof he intended to go to war when he was telling the country the IWR was a vote for peace.

[TygrBright]

8. Cheney. He needs to be the next to go. For health reasons, y'know.

And to spend more time with his family, yeah, that's it.

hopefully,
Bright

[mikelewis]

21. I don't see him lasting too long...

I bet the second Conyers picks up his gavel, Cheney will start having palpitations...

[hootinholler]

13. Un-Gag Sibel!

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.

-Hoot

[mikelewis]

16. Well, with Hastert in it... I certainly hope it doesn't have any sex...

There's somethings I just don't want to know.

[hootinholler]

43. OMFG! ROFLMAO!

:spray: :rofl:

[Warpy]

14. Chronological order

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.

[mikelewis]

17. Man, I forgot about the Anthrax attacks...

Wouldn't it be nice to actually investigate the murder of Americans in stead of sweeping it under the rug...

[stonecoldsober]

20. I agree 100% - it must be chronological

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.

[mikelewis]

31. 5 minutes into the 2000 election Selection and Bush will resign...

anyone want to take bets?

[jwirr]

40. *ss has cut and run from every failure in his life and that is a great

deal of the time. Poppy is already trying to bail him out of this final mess. I think he will jump ship if the storm threatens him personally.

[txindy]

15. So many choices, but the Energy Task Force is one heckuva big domino.

It would eventually topple the whole, rotten lot.

[Greyhound]

18. Went with DSM, because I think it is the one that links them together. n/t

[mikelewis]

19. Plus, it would take down Blair and help our Brittish DUer's...

It's like a two-for-one special.

[Greyhound]

37. Good point, thank you. n/t

[Lena inRI]

22. The Mother of all Scandals. . .

is 9/11 Cover-up. . .9/11 Inside Job. . .
don't know how surviving people/families are coping with their gnawing suspicions about the many, many, many unanswered questions about that tragic day. . .my heart goes out to them

:cry: :grouphug: :cry: :grouphug: :cry:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. I don't understand why 9/11 is not #1 on the list

So many unanswered questions. So many facts being withheld from us.

[Lena inRI]

32. Exactly. . .

for the past 6 years, we've all been sideswiped by Bushworld but those 9/11 families have been hit by a Mack truck. . .I really truly pray their pain is vindicated BEFORE the BushCo leaves office. . .these families must be vindicated!
:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

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?

[mikelewis]

36. I think Bush may have solved our unemployment problems...

We'd have to hire thousands of people just to handle the first year in office.

[mikelewis]

33. That's the one I voted for...

[yurbud]

23. its not the gannon security breaches...its where he took off his breaches in the White House

[uppityperson]

24. don't forget Katrina aftermath

[mikelewis]

30. I didn't forget that one....

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.

[sarge43]

26. The Dickster and his money making machine. Wipe that sneer right off his ugly mug

:mad:

[smtpgirl]

38. That fuckhead Cheney should have

a firecracker lit into his ass, just like he did for us for 6 years.

Have no sympathy for an arrogant, unpleasant, unforgiving, lying, cheating, theiving, coniving asshole.

May his pacemaker short out in the airport!!

Crude asshole

[mikelewis]

42. We should at least have pity on the wretch...

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.
