Poll question: Would you be happy if Congress passed NO legislation but, instead, focused on investigations?
Would you be happy if Congress passed NO legislation but, instead, focused on investigations?

I'm referring to investigations including, but not limited to:

1) Iraq War Intelligence
2) Energy Policy
3) Signing Statements
4) Torture Memo (covering Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, etc.)
5) Firing of judges and replacing them with pro-admin Bushco pals
6) Medicare Prescription Drug giveaway to drug companies
7) Stovepiping Iranian intel

and on and on and on...

1. We need to rid the country of this administration, then some real, unwatered-down legislation...
can make it through.

5. Really? Exactly where will the 67 votes to convict in the Senate be found?
There are Americans who are not Liberals who expect after voting for the Democrats last November that they would actually keep their promises concerning what they intended to do. Could somebody please provide the long list of Democratic candidates who ran last November on an impeachment platform? That many, huh?

2. Oh, and if you vote No, what legislation do you want Congress to address?

3. Even working three days a week, can't they do more than one thing?

4. Perhaps but these investigations are going to require LOTS of work and follow-ups

6. Reality doesn't have to be polarized
into either or. They can, and should, do both.

7. Simply put
what's more important to our very existence than reigning in Bu$hCo, all the other legislation that congress uses as "busy work" (to create the impression of doing something), like naming Federal Buildings etc, doesn't even come close to what's really important.

9. 9/11
Obviously the issues will only be addressed if there are first investigations to determine what's actually happened. Legislation that actually makes a difference will follow later.
