Which Dem Candidate Is Most Likely To INVESTIGATE the Bush Admin IF Elected President?

[Blackhatjack]

Consider them all. THen ask yourself, who is likely to put all the corruption and crime of this Administration BEHIND THEM and move on? Who is likely to INVESTIGATE all the corruption and crime, hold people accountable?

This is a critical issue. We cannot restore our constitutional form of government and place our country back in the hands of the people if we only put the Corrupt Bush Officials 'IN TIME OUT' for an election cycle. If we don't investigate they will be back again, feeding on the remnants of the Constitution they trampled on this time --just like the Iran/Contra lesson proves.

You have to investigate, expose and convict the criminals. There is no other way.

Who will do that?

I think JOHN EDWARDS is the best man for the job --and to lead this country back to its roots in 'government by and for the people.'

1. Kucinich n/t

11. And that is the absolute truth! n/t

[cali]

2. none of them. It's chiefly the job of Congess to conduct

investigations.

[alfredo]

7. The FBI can investigate.

[Kahuna]

21. The justice department of the new administration can investigate..

I hope they will be give a mandate to investigate independent of the executive office.

23. Donna Karen!

I didn't know she was running! :rofl:

[upi402]

4. only Kucinich. period. n/t

[Stardust]

5. Kucinich.promises to make that his first priority when he's sworn in. n/t

[cali]

6. seeing that he'll never be sworn in, this is

simply fantasy politics.

[daninthemoon]

8. I agree that congress should be doing this, but why would Kucinich

"never be sworn in"?

[Ghost in the Machine]

12. We'll see about that. If enough of us keep getting his message out he just might...

Never give up! Dennis Kucinich is one of the few honest politicians we have left. People need to be exposed to his message daily. People want law & order restored in our government. Everyone I talk with feels the same. The 3 names I hear, even here in Tennessee, is Kucinich, Edwards & Biden. Not even a mention of repug candidates. Joe Biden earned a second look from me last night during the part of the debate I watched.

You don't think Dennis Kucinich would be more of a front runner if he had more face time and national exposure?

[Ghost in the Machine]

9. Dennis Kucinich will investigate all of them. He's said so already.

"Now the people in the Administration of George Bush better remember their Miranda rights, because when I'm elected President I'm going to see that they are arrested. I'm not kidding here! I want to let you to know something; how I feel about what's happened to our country. We have been led into a war based upon lies -- an unjust a war. We've seen our civil liberties taken away because of lies. The President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense are all part of this. They're going to be held accountable under the law. If someone runs a traffic light, they'll get a ticket here. There are a million dead Iraqis and almost 4,000 dead American soldiers as a result of this war. Where is the accountability? What's happened is that our constitution is being torn up. And in this toxic environment, the Administration, in its never-ending quest for more scapegoats, focuses on immigrants. You know it and I know it. And we see, unfortunately, the failure of the Democratic Party to stand up to this Administration."

10. Kucinich and Edwards.

I'm liking Edwards more and more every day.

[WilliamPitt]

13. None

[Blackhatjack]

14. Edwards will require all remaining members of the Executive Branch to testify, no exec privilege...

IF the next President wants to put the Bush ADministration wrongdoing behind them, there won't be any parade of Executive Branch employees to testify before Congress.

[emilyg]

15. None of them. Not their place.

[OHdem10]

16. Is that not what all these hearings are about now.?

Investigation Investigation Investigation.

The Next President will not have time to be investigating.

I am sure as they find things any one of them will report it.

The Public will tire of investigations.

[Blackhatjack]

18. You cannot overlook past corruption or it will return in a different form (ie. Iran/Contra)...

Many of the same characters who got away with engaging in criminal conduct in Iran/Contra came back to life when Bush was elected, and they have picked up where they left off --only this time with a willing President to engage all their nefarious plans.

You have to investigate, to uncover the wrongdoing to make the public understand why it is important to change things in Washington and make sure it does not happen again.

There are plenty of career employees in the Executive Branch who would testify truthfully today before Congress, but they are not allowed to do so. Edwards would take the wraps off them, let them tell all they know.

Some others would just as soon they never testify since their largest benefactors are corporate/business/special interests who have financed their campaigns for years.

And if there were a real house cleaning on the Bush years, you would not have to worry about the Repub Party for a while --at least not until moderates get back into control.

17. Well Bill already had a chance

and closed the door on Iran/Contra and BCCI. So we know Hillary won't do it. I have to say I think Edwards is most likely too, and when I say that I actually mean Elizabeth.

[Kahuna]

19. Edwards and Kucinich. Hillary definately won't. Why she and Bill

are practically family with the bushies. :puke:

[WinkyDink]

20. Goin' with The Kooch, period. The rest will be all "Time to Move Forward" BS.

[crickets]

25. It's "We must heal the nation and move on."

Didn't you get the mealymouthed catchphrase handbook?

[LWolf]

22. Kucinich, obviously,

since he's the only one calling for just that, and the only one to introduce articles of impeachment WHICH, FOR THE RECORD, THE REST OF THEM DON'T SUPPORT.

[crickets]

24. Kucinich -nt
