If we went after shrub for torture would that slow Jeb's run for Prez?

It's the kind of thing that every single Repuke would do if they had the chance to take out Hillary by indicting Bill.

Why aren't we doing this?

Obama could save the world from another Bush in office.

public opinion is on the side of the war criminals Bush and Cheney. I mean people are actually talking
about making another Bush president. Five years ago you couldn't get a Bush elected county commissioner.

Strike One: Poppy Bush = Recession; Iraq War I
Strike Two: Idiot Son = Great Recession; Iraq War II
Strike Three: Waffler = Could he bring us a Depression? Another War?

The American People can relate to a baseball analogy. Strike Three - Yur Out!!!!

We don't need to take a chance on another Bush.

Suggesting that someone should be criminally indicted because it would be good for a political campaign?

To be fair, bush should/could be indicted on his own based on the facts surrounding the torture. This wouldn't be trumping up charges for political reasons.

The Dems had been shat on so heavily by the repukes and the media that the election was close enough for them to steal.

I think it would be fair to shit on the repubs hardcore for the next year and a half as we roll into a big election.

What should we do, run solely on the merits? This election is going to be Bush/Clinton and the right will do everything they can to trash Hillary.
