Who believes that either Hillary or Barack, if elected, would support the investigation of

[hisownpetard]

crimes and/or misdeeds committed by Bush&Co. in order to hold them accountable?

[Terry_M]

1. Anyone who does

is living in a dream world.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

2. Your question lends itself to a poll...

...Is there some reason you choose not to raise it as a poll?

Just wondering.

My answer, btw, is highly unlikely. It would require immense sustained populist pressure.

[hisownpetard]

5. Yes. I don't know how to do it! But since only a 'yes' or 'no' would suffice,

I thought this was ok.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

14. It certainly is ok...

...... to do it the way you did.

In case you are interested, starting a poll is very easy. Click the "Post" icon the way you ordinarily would to begin an OP, then click the icon that says "Click here to start a poll." From this point on it's very much like starting any OP with the exception that you need to remember to type in the poll options respondents can choose from in the boxes. There can be as many as 10 choices.

Very straight forward -- give it a try, you won't break nothin'

:hi:

[hisownpetard]

20. Oh, thanks for telling me. I will definitely give it a try!

:hi:

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

22. You're welcome. And I might...

...just say, the way you did this informal poll is actually preferable in some respects because respondents are more likely to elaborate on their answers, and maybe more likely to respond because they don't feel constrained by preselected choices. Some people just don't like formal polls.

[hisownpetard]

24. Thanks, again.

[hisownpetard]

25. Thanks for the advice. Now, see what thou has't wrought...

26. I saw...I laughed...I voted...I posted...I thank you. nt.

[OzarkDem]

21. I just kicked my earlier poll on this question

it would appear the issue is "off the table" for Obama and Clinton supporters. There are a number of issues they don't think their candidates need to answer for before the election, even though they serve in Congress. A small sample of what Obama and Clinton don't need to do anything about in the Senate:

End the Iraq War

Fix the economy

Investigate Bush/Cheney crimes

Protect voting integrity and abuse

Pretty much anything having to do with Bush flaunting the Constitution

[hisownpetard]

23. This is extremely depressing to me. I can't understand how/why almost everyone seems to be

looking the other way. Don't principles mean anything anymore?!

[LWolf]

3. Not me. n/t

[FreakinDJ]

4. BWAHA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

ya right

[SoFlaJet]

6. who Hillary Clinton?

her husband's best bubby Senior's son get investigated-yea right

[Bobbieo]

9. Somehow, I thought Bill's best buddy is Jr's dad!!

[SoFlaJet]

10. isn't that what I said?

yea that's what I meant

[thunder rising]

7. A better question is, would they impede an international court

There is no way to get a fair trial in the US. Every person selected would already have made their decision. It's up to the international community to prosecute.

[ProgressIn2008]

8. Either candidate hold power accountable? No Clearly, some people are above the law.

[frog92969]

11. No!

Thanks for the laugh. The machine won't punish for such successes.

We've been fighting for that for years and will be fighting for years to come.

[gulliver]

12. The Congress will do it.

Dubya is going to have to issue some blanket pardons before he goes. If we hold Congress, Waxman and Conyers won't stop.

Do I think either Hillary or Barack will stonewall Congress to save Bush? Not at all. But the Bushies are not big on leaving an audit trail for what they do. (In a just world, that alone would be cause for impeachment.)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. They both suffer from Pelosi-itis...

...they pretty much care about themselves and their own interests, and anything that would hold Bush accountable is "off the table."

Sorry, Obama-bots. The truth hurts.

[MadBadger]

15. None of them besides DK would do it.

[hisownpetard]

17. Not Edwards?

[KoKo]

18. Kucinich would do it...but EDWARS has "Trial Lawyers" who are READY TO GO!

That's why I'm in FAVOR of ELECTING A "TRIAL LAWYER" as PRESIDENT... After all isn't this the most CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY? :shrug:

[DemBones DemBones]

19. Which is why more people should vote for Kucinich

instead of giving in to the supposed inevitably of Clinton or Obama.

[Essene]

16. Hillary never would... that's for sure.
