Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush

[jillian]

You know, you're bringing up a concept that scared the crap out of movie goers as well as the media back in the early 80's.......

Remember a movie called The Warriors?

Warriors... come out to plaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaay.

 

[editec]

Didn't see the movie.But in point of fact revolutionaries are often recruited from the ranks of the criminal class.Joe Stalin climbed up the ranks of the Bolshiviks because he was a great bank robber, for example.The so called terrorist of FARC are in bed with the Cocaine mafia. I mean, serious revolutions need men of action, not armchair political theorists like most of us are.I had my chances to join the ranks of violent revolutionary causes decades ago, and I politiely said, "No thanks." I refuse to join any revolutionary cause I'm not in charge of.I'm a general, not a spear carrier, at heart

 

[editec]

Yup go ahead start arresting Republicans for no other reason then they are Republicans and lets see how the "white" guys just roll over and play dead.

So, here's the scene...the Department of Justice make formal charges against Bush II and members of his staff for whatever...

Now... how exactly how do you think this revolution of normally law abiding White middle class men is going to blossom into a revolution against the State?

Seriously...how many of these guys, most of whom have jobs and families and plenty to lose, are going to become a revolutionary movement?

It takes a LOT to get people to do something drastic that might cost them everything.

OTOH, guys who have next to nothing and who are already used to committing crimes and going to jail and who have nothing to lose?

That's where you'll find people likely to become violent revolutionaries, I suspect. At least that where you'll find the early adapters, I suspect.

And they're not likely to be welcomed in your Angry White Republican gun owners' revolution, now are they?

Just my theoretical opinion, of course.

You may already be involved in some clandestine revolutionary group of angry White men for all I know.

Good luck with that if you are because the probability that the government hasn't inflitrated such an organization is like zero point shit, I suspect.

Hey Douchebag......I'm not a liberal.

You're left of me so you're a lib as far as I'm concerned. Now go suck on Obama's balls.

You are aware that right up to the moment shooting started the Colonies had no real desire to leave English rule? All the vast Majority wanted was the proper rights and treatment of a citizen. Even at the height of the revolution less than a third of the populace actually were on the side of revolution and at times as much as a third were against it.

Arrest Bush and Cheney for no reason and see where it leads. It will open the eyes of a LOT of people. And it will create the environment to organize. Bush getting arrested for no other reason then politics will send a clear message to a lot of people that THEY are in danger and could be next.

If Gore had stolen the election in 2000 we probably would have seen action taken as well.

Biden has already said it

Karl Rove will go to prison for engineering the bogus conviction of the popular Alabama governor on bribery charges. 52 former attorneys general of BOTH parties signed a petition to the federal court to get the governor out of prison.

um, do you realize that story was from Feb 24th 2008?
and if nothing has been done on it by now, what makes you think anything WILL?

 

[Paulie]

Editec makes the most sense here.

People will not be revolting over Bush being brought up on charges for the simple fact that whether they agree with it or not, they simply won't care enough.

You spend a lifetime establishing a career and a lifestyle for yourself and your family, and it takes quite a lot of courage and desire to risk it all over some political dispute involving what is already an extremely unpopular presidential administration.

If what RGS says is true, the liberals who are already constantly accused of unnecessary and even violent protest, would have revolted over the blowjob impeachment...which let's face it, was nothing more than politics.

I'm just not quite sure how Bush/Cheney being brought up on charges would somehow register differently in people's minds.

REALLY???

please advise the Obama/Biden campaign to make this a primary goal of their campaign

I'm not gay dude, but you obviously are with all the ball and penis references that you keep making.

BTW, whip that thing out, and I'll give you a tour of the world you'll NEVER forget. Hell.....might even show you the other end of that small thing.

Physical threats?

It would be considered a threat if I wasn't prepared to go along with it. Any chance of your sorry ass coming to Amarillo?

That depends. What kind of beer is in your fridge?

If you'll notice the article says charges could be brought against the Bush ADMINISTRATION, but not against Bush himself.

This country has a long and sacred tradition of peaceful secession of power. Without it democracy can't work. Persuing criminal charges against former Presidents violates that principle. This is ultimately why Ford had to 'pardon' Nixon.

If criminal charges were brought against former Presidents, it wouldn't be long before a President took the office for life. (Not very hard to do).

A few Bush Administration Peons may get hung, and if any charges were to be brought against Bush himself, they would be wimpy, watered down charges that would be more symbolic than punative.

if you really support that happening, contact the Obama campaign and ask them to make this a main issue

Listen dude, if you're going to be coming here expecting to be fondled, YOU'RE gonna have to bring the beer. Leave mine alone.

As far as Bush Jr. and Cheney? I hope sincerely that they are both brought up on charges of treason and disloyalty to this country, and put in front of a firing squad.

send a donation to Obama and attach this request to it
ask him to make it a key point in his campaign

Sorry pal, I don't know what you were expecting, but I don't swing that way. What I do is open your fridge and drink all your beer, if its worthy, sit in your favorite chair, grab your al haig device, and turn the TV to my favorite channel. Got any chips? I prefer Utz regular.

If you liberals had anything on Bush/ Cheny you would have done something by now. Your Messiah Obama is simply talking trash like most libs like to do.

Typical of Socialist. They love firing squads, and trumped up charges.

Pretty sad bud.
