There was only one thing he left out...

[hootinholler]

A promise to hold the criminals responsible for this shit pile we have to clean up.

One mention, that's all I wanted. One promise for justice. Maybe I missed it.

Oh, yeah, I'm no longer voting against McCain, I'm now voting for Obama.

1. I would have liked to see that too...

...we need to investigate everything that Bushco, Inc. has messed up.

[silverweb]

2. Let's get him elected first.

Don't make him tip his entire hand and risk a firestorm before he's even in office.

[Richard D]

7. That was my though. eom

[silverweb]

21. He's a poker player.

A very good one, I've heard.

[Richard D]

25. That's a scary thought. . .

. . . sitting across from him with a good hand and he flashes that smile at you. You wouldn't know what to think.

[silverweb]

27. Scary for the reTHUGs.

:evilgrin:

Disclaimer: Henceforward, my use of the term "reTHUG" refers only to those members of the Republican electorate that obstinately cling to PNAC warmongering and fearmongering, Strausian neoconservatism, Xtianist dominionism, anti-choice misogyny, homophobic discrimination, blatant and covert racism, hypocrisy, and Rovian smear/fear tactics.

[Solly Mack]

3. Yeah...gotta admit... I would have given my eye teeth to hear that

It's first on my list of things that must be done

and time will never - ever - erase it off my list

[Stinky The Clown]

6. "and time will never - ever - erase it off my list"

Nor mine.

Job One.

:thumbsup:

[hootinholler]

16. Cool, that make 3 of us. n/t

[panader0]

4. Legalize it! lol

[Fumesucker]

9. Dont criticize it..

Telco immunity that is.

[originalpckelly]

10. We have always believed that the Telcos should have immunity...

and that FISA was quaint, needing an update so badly that it required that "compromise".

[originalpckelly]

5. Impeachment is off the table, dontcha know...

and you'll be called a freeper if you want it. :rofl:

[lpbk2713]

8. Now is not a good time to appear divisive.

Notice I said 'appear' divisive. Yes, the BushCo gang of thieves and liars should be held accountable for all their many crimes over the past eight years. Hopefully we will hear more about this after November.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. It's never a *good time*, especially every 2/4/6 years.

:eyes:

[MissMarple]

11. That is for the legislature, now, and after George leaves office, the judicial system.

Does anyone there have the will... or the guts? Interesting question.

[Fuzz]

12. Patience Grasshopper

[hootinholler]

14. I've seen 2 prior Democratic administrations sweep the criminals under the rug...

I'm running short on patience, weed-leaper!

I can understand the strategic reasoning, but I need the reassurance it will not be ignored.

-Hoot

[originalpckelly]

15. Heh, what Watergate? What Iran-Contra?

I get what you mean.

[hootinholler]

19. Yeah the bitch is

It's the same God-Damned crowd!

-Hoot

[silverweb]

22. So true.

A valuable word of advice.

[LibDemAlways]

13. I'm with you. I want these criminals held

accountable. And I want a real 9/11 investigation - one that's properly funded, leaves no stone unturned, and assigns blame. The 9/11 families and the people of this nation deserve no less.

Working to get Obama elected with a strong Democratic majority in Congress is still job one. Can't put the cart before the horse.

[DebJ]

17. Let the International Criminal Court do it for us. The whole world

wants a piece of these fools.

[hootinholler]

20. Oh, yeah. That's the way to restore our reputation!

Make the rest of the world clean up our house. The ICC will not prosecute if there is a chance of the host country holding the criminal responsible. If they are pardoned, then the ICC can come into play. Until then it is our responsibility.

[lonestarnot]

18. You didn't miss the expressed statement, but it may have been implied.

[Ani Yun Wiya]

23. An excellent speech from an excellent candidate.

I too sought to hear any of these few words used: Justice, truth, reckoning, accounting.

When this man becomes President I sincerely hope that justice and truth are more than mere guiding principles.

A great many large tasks lie ahead of this nation, it is critical that they be accomplished.

It is of extreme importance that justice is at the core of our actions.

The last eight years have been a more than adequate showing of what happens when injustice is at the core of our actions.

[hootinholler]

24. I'm pretty big on Justice...
