Poll question: Which Candidate Would Hold The Bush Administration Accountable for Their Numerous Crimes

Let's deal with reality now, which candidate would hold *co accountable for their criminal acts.

[soulcore]

1. DK is the ONLY candidate that will hold them accountable.

and that's exactly why he's not "electable."

2. I know this won't be popular, but I'd rather the president elect focus on cleaning up the mess

rather than vengeance.

6. Which is what President Clinton did and it left the door open for george to walk through.

I don't want that happening again. Jeb and his kid are waiting in the wings. :scared:

[driver8]

10. I swear to God that if Jeb is ever elected pResident (or any Bush, for that matter)

I am moving my family to Costa Rica!

There is no freakin' way I can endure another 4 years of those criminals.

7. I agree with you. nt

11. Punishment is like clorox

If you don't use it, the mold grows back from the roots. This is not about vengance, it's about making a future president think thrice before pulling shit like this. It's about affirming that if the President does it, yes, it could be illegal, and affirming we are indeed a nation of law.

Remember, It takes a Clinton to sweep the Bush messes under the rug.

15. Not vengeance.

Justice.

3. I notice Gravel is missing - therefore, not voting in it.

[bdamomma]

12. sorry gravel supporter I added him

[robbedvoter]

19. Thanks. Kucinich would have been just as valid an answer, but voted Gravel

because he needs to be in the dialogue.

4. Good poll alyce, since I haven't completely

decided who to support yet, I was pondering this question as part of my criteria for whom to get behind. Maybe someone should ask them all on the campaign trail? Or in a debate?

5. The way it looks now.....

I think we will have to push the International Community to go after them on War Crimes. Very few of our leaders want to pursue the crimes against our Constitution.

To the Hague!

[bdamomma]

13. yea really push the International Community

[TechBear_Seattle]

8. You're joking, right? Democrats holding the Junta responsible? n/t

[tuckessee]

9. Gravel or Paul n/t

[GreenArrow]

14. Kucinich and Gravel, yes.

The others, no.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Kucinich is the ONLY one who would make them pay for their crimes. Though,

one would think Hillary would like nothing more, but Bill let Reagan/poppy slide, so I'm sure Hill will want to "move on" from the psycho-in-chief too. I could think of no better way for Bill and Hill to get even with the repuke party for all the CRAP they put them through, but it'll never happen.

17. Kucinich will

just like he's the only one who will get us out of Iraq ASAP, provide non-profit health care, etc. etc. Why he polls so low is beyond me. Do Americans really WANT to stay in Iraq forever? Do they ENJOY getting screwed by insurance companies? Some days I feel like I don't belong on this planet any more.

[Solly Mack]

18. I don't think they will be held accountable

and I know that wasn't the question

Still, it is unlikely, and I'm aware of how unfortunate that is, that the person eventually seated as President will choose to seek justice.

I'm mightily uncomfortable with the equating of justice with vengeance. I do know many Americans think that way and it is alarming - and such thinking has aided in the corruption of our justice system.

I'm aware that some people actually do think "getting even" (vengeance) is justice and that others would intentionally mislabel justice as vengeance in an attempt to advance a talking point.

Some people seek actual justice.

I won't have any sympathy for my country or her people for the future troubles that will come from not holding a criminal president accountable.

When the criminals of this administration go off to the private sector,as some already have, and while there they engage in policy shaping and lobbying that will directly affect the lives of Americans, to bide their time until a return to government, don't come crying/whining/complaining to me. Just call war crimes and egregious abuses of power a normal/acceptable/expected fluctuation of politics, then sleep well at night knowing you're just so savvy.
