| 48. We've been hearing that excuse |

Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 11:10 AM by sabrina 1
'there are more pressing issues', before each election since the criminal Bush administration took over this country.
'We need a majority' was the excuse in 2006 and then 'we need a bigger majority' after we won. The 'pressing issues' we were told were more important than impeaching the criminals, never did get taken care of as Bush vetoed every bill that gave the people anything, as anyone with a brain knew he would.
Now, we have control of all branches of government, and there's a new excuse??? Sorry, not buying, didn't buy the old ones either.
Clinton allowed the crooks from the Reagan administration to get off without prosecution and that disastrous decision led to them returning to power along with Bush.
Turley is absolutely right and I hope more people join him in demanding that the rule of law is applied to these traitors who practically destroyed this country, as it is to everyone else.
Do you want to apply the same standards to all criminals? Should we let murderers go eg, because they have families and other obligations?
What I'm annoyed by are people who enable these crimes by making excuses why a country like this cannot deal with its own criminals. And the fact that there aren't more Turleys demanding that justice be done.
As far as what people believe, the public was not told the truth. Prosecutions and trials will change the minds of many people when they learn the truth about these criminals. It should have been done long ago.
