Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush
Guardian ^ | September 03 2008 | Elana Schor

Posted on 09/03/2008 6:17:38 PM PDT by Lorianne

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.

Biden's comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

But his statements represent the Democrats' strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years.

"If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued," Biden said during a campaign event in Deerfield Beach, Florida, according to ABC.

"[N]ot out of vengeance, not out of retribution," he added, "out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president -- no one is above the law."

The Democrats think they are beneath the law.

If they push just a little bit harder -- the wrath of the women of America will fall on them; and the women will relent just long enough to let the REAL men open up a can of *ss-kicking on the Dem parasites and their minions.

Cheers!

You can get to the video online here.

And to save you the burden of listening to too much of Joe Biden, the question starts at 49:35

And, they will ignore the criminal acts committed by the Clintons (Filegate, Chinagate, N. Koreagate, and failure to protect American citizens by confronting those who had declared war against us). Hypocrites.

Only in third world countries are former administrations put in prison. Gerald Ford had the right of it with his pardon of Nixon, and the impeachment charge of Clinton if convicted in the Senate would have only entailed removal from office (and the incumbency of Gore right before a close election).

Talking about criminal charges is pandering to the insane moonbats.

Note to Obama: Lay off the pipe! You’re running against nominee McCain, not lame duck President Bush. Lay off the pipe.

Better yet, tilt after windmills.

Who peed in your cornflakes?

If you don’t think that Biden’s son’s business dealings are wrong, then why don’t you follow your own advice or go post over at DU where they’d welcome comments like yours?

Let’s see. Is that any less immoral or unethical that a teen pregnancy?

LOL. Good one. Bring everything back to Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. You should offer your services as a talking points writer for the DNC.


Ummm I think maybe she forgot her sarcasm tag?

Or was it cynical tag?

Yeah, cynical tag.

You would think so by all the Left Wing scum who are savaging Sarah Palin and her family. Now, Metmom, until you slap them around until they stop, why don’t you just STFU about it?


HUH?

I think the poor gal merely forgot a sarcasm tag fellas!

Lighten up!

Yes she did!!! I got goosebumps so many times! It was awesome! As former military girl (and probably going back in) I am very excited about the role this morning that McCain's Hanoi Hilton friends played all over FOX this morning. They said it should be awesome tonight! McCain/Palin is the ticket!! :) What do you think?

Did you coin that nickname for J.B. (aka Joe Blow)?

I wish I could take credit for that. Come to think of it, Joe Blow(hard) is better!

But she's not nasty about it. In fact, for a liberal, she's surpisingly civilized and rarely foams at the mouth. So be nice to her. No need to act like someone on KOS or DU.

metmom’s a liberal? News to me.

I’ll tell you what, why don’t you go back through my posting history and find somewhere where I took a liberal stand on anything and get back to me with it.

I’m actually surprised that someone would want to appear to be defending the msm or Biden. What Biden’s son has done is way worse than a teen pregnancy. It’s one thing to have two hormone laden teens end up with a (no doubt) unplanned pregnancy, and another to deliberately engage in fraud, which has to be premeditated and deliberately executed.

Ignoring the fraud and rabidly attacking the pregnancy, shows that the hypocrisy of the msm in dealing with the VP candidates.

One kid was raised to do the right thing and is marrying the father of the child, the other clearly didn’t get the same set of morals from his father. It reflects on both sets of parents and I know which one I’d rather have in an important position of leadership.

MetMom. I apologize. I mistook you for another poster with a very similar moniker. She’s actually not bad for a liberal—keeps things reasonably civilized.

Far be it from me to slander a fellow Conservative. Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa.
