  • Should voting be a right or a privilege?

    Should citizens of the United States who do not possess the reasoning skills

    or the general scientific knowledge of the average Chinese 5th grade student (sorry, can't use U.S. fifth graders as a standard now) be allowed to vote?

    Should citizens of the United States who believe an oxygen starved, i.e., lower temperature, less intense fire, could cause the demolition of WTC 1 and 2 be allowed to vote?

  • WHAT'S THAT SENATOR?

    THE TUSH-BENEY BUANTANAMO-GAY CRUTH TOMISSSSSHIN... TINE THE SONLIDE TEPITION, DOTAY... *.* URRP *.* THE BOOOOOOOLD STEPS OF BUH BOAMA DADIMITRSTRTION... *.* TWEEK *** URP...

    DRUNK AGAIN...

  • i am disapointed that all of theese people are talking shit on leahy even though he has been one of the best senators of our era. i doubt that any of you are even from vermont a know how much he helps out our state every year, you would be lucky to have a senator that dosn't just get voted in than just do whatever they want, leahy actually sticks up for the intrests of the people who voted for him not his own political agenda

  • @vthammerman I met Leahy in Burlington in '74 during the gas embargo,had to clean my boots when he was done. This is before he got booted from the intel. commitee for leaking classified info to the press. Before he got reamed on the senate floor by Sen. Strom Thurmond by going back on a promise to him on a judicial nominee. Good job in promoting the Kool-aid. Btw I am from Vermont check my profile.

  • This guy is such a pusillanimous inane drone.

    Leahy and Obama make a great team of idiots. Never done anything good for America...and never will.

    So when you're losers like these two, you'll have to blame everything on others.

    They're real good at that!

  • Dicky Cheney for PRESIDENT 2012!

  • Sen. Leahy isn't a saint by any means, but Bush and Cheney (mostly Cheney) shit on the Constitution and rubbed it right in all you crying defenders faces!

  • Is it not his american right to post a video about his opinions about the government? I thought there was something called "freedom of speech" or something, but perhaps im thinking of another, better country besides America because obviously Senator Leahy saying something about Bush really pisses you people off. How about we actually try and find out what happens behind closed doors of the government instead of just saying things like "shut-up and die you old bastard" becuase that gets us nowher

  • Mr. Senator, take your "Truth" Commission and shove it up your ass.

  • YES WE NEED ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!

  • shut-up and die you old bastard

  • With all do respect Mr. Leahy, Go fuck yourself!

  • @pushingback2u --U CANT EVEN SPELL SO SHUT UP DUMBO

  • After this Christmas Terrorist attempt hows that non-waterboarding intel program working for you? Bang up job you fellas have done in the last 12 months. What a firm response from our commander in chief the day and day after the attempt. WOW!!!!

  • Senator Leahy is a huge, huge part of the problem. He is a liar and a thief. For him to point the finger at other crooked and conniving politicians (like Bush and Cheney) is the lowest form of hypocrisy. Liquidate this two-faced, two-bit bum.

  • Sen. Leahy,

    I have a quick question for you - will you please fucking think a little and do us, the American people, some good. Listening to you feels like breathing in sulfur.

    Goddamn.

  • You're just some old fucking piece of shit hat is completely obsessed with saying that what happened was wrong, even though there should have been more. You are a peace loving hippie and you probably have Alzheimers and dont even remember making this worthless video or the petition. Its not gonna happen because thankfully, there are enough sane people left in this country not to sign your petition. Go die you fucking parasite.

  • This little fellow is a punk hitler youth and doesn''t even know what this video is about.

  • Dear Sir, however how sad it sounds or is. lying in government is art. no one has more fault in this system than our own congress, sits on lying and does nothing. your right cover the pass humm started in 1865 and in l963. when congress sat and done nothing. when our Attorney General does nothing, than nothing remains. an fat lying. lying is art in government. richardj.

  • Where were the ALL naysayers when it really counted?

  • Dear Senator Leahy,

    Drop Dead!

  • Leahy.

    This man is from a state that sets child predators free..constantly!

    Yet...what does he dwell on...this sort of crap!

    Retire Leahy...you are a disgrace!

  • Moron; do something useufl for God's sake.

  • Leahy = Roll over, submissive, piss on yourself weakling.

  • Who read the stimulus bill dumb ass! Who gave 25 billion to GM with ZERO Transparency and money vanishing in thin air. GM now in the government pocket to boot! Now that was one hell of a magic act. Obama has surpassed Bush on criminal acts in Just 6 Months and has spent more money than Bush did in 8 years, There is no transparency with the Obama iron curtain! You have "W" Syndrome! Hate Bush so much that you accept anything as better no matter how damaging . Changed for Worst! Pray for HOPE!

  • What does bailing out GM have to do with the war crimes and mass murdering of bush/cheney? bush/paulson asked in a 3 page bill for $700 billion to bail out Wall Street. Bush and Cheney have the blood of 4,500 of our wonderful soldiers and 1.3 million innocent Iraqi civilians on their hands. You can't even come close to comparing the two. Good God!

  • Going to Irag was the smartest war decision ever made. Execution was poor and the outcome not as expected. War is never pretty and always unpredictable. As long as we have pansy asses drop outs like you and Leahy one thing is for sure, the safety of the US masses will always be at risk.

  • All civilized countries on the planet have been founded on blood shed and mass murder. Unfortunately Might makes right! It always has and always will. It will be this way until the end of time. Its true in every form of life. It's unfortunate that you drop out when things don't go as planned. The only war crimes were Sadam's mass murders.

  • Bullshit! bush/cheney are war criminals in every sense of the word. They lied to YOU and me and Congress to attack a country that had no WMD's and is not now or never was a threat to us. Saddam evil? You bet, that is why God invented revolutions. As long as we feel our form of government is superior than anyone elses and that we think we have to police the world, we will be killing our soldiers needlessly. Look at the countries that mind there own business.

  • Your type stands by idly while Dictators kill and torture citizens who don't worship them. It's to great a risk for us to save parents and children who are victoms. Oh but when people are dying from starvation or natural disaster, that's when the cowards like you come out of the closet and cry for help! One way, weakling selfish bastards!

  • The ONLY reason we are in the Middle East is to "protect our interests", which translated in to English means OIL! Let's get our shit together, get off foreign oil and stay the fuck out of the Middle East. There has been some sort of unrest there since dinasours roamed the earth. It is ridiculous that we are there at all!

  • Comment removed

  • Policing the world is as important as policing our cities. Bush is right in his quest to spread freedom and Democracy. This will be proven when it is too late. Your wake up call will come in the form of nuclear. Hell of a revolution huh? These are technological times, not the 1800's. Better take control DUMMY! OR Someone else will! Keep and ensure your strength! Police the world or die! Fool!

  • So, we tell Pakistan, India, Egypt, and Israel that it is ok that they have nuclear weapons. Then we tell Iran that WE won't permit them to have one. Now tell me this, if you were the President of Iran, what would you tell our President? I know what I would say, I would tell America to shut the fuck up! America is saying to Iran, we want you surrounded by nuks, but you can't have one. Actually it is a wonder that Iran hasn't nuked us already!

  • So many fascist comments.

  • You have "W" Syndrome! You hate Bush so much that you are willing to accept anything as better, no matter how wrong, how criminal or how damaging .

    The Obama Iron Curtain, follow thy great Shepard Obama like the rest of his Blind sheep followers. Adopt the Hollywood plan, they all know whats best for the common man. Let government take care of the poor "Out of site out of mind" easier that way to live in thy Hollywood Kingdom with less guilt.

    Changed for WORST! Pray for HOPE! Eat grass bahhh

  • Uh what? Thanks for the hilarious psychoanalysis. Sounds like you have Obama Derangement Syndrome.

  • Anyone who earns their money has Obama Syndrome! You must be the lazy type who wants to live like a farm animal. Free food & free shots until your keeper Shepard Obama figures your time is up and you are no longer worth the investment. Your type is quite obvious.

  • Really? You want to investigate Bush Cheney abuses? Then how come you voted against the Durbin Amendment yesterday in the markup for S. 1692? How come you voted against protecting Americans from Patriot Act data mining? You voted to CONTINUE the abuses, Senator Leahy. That's not consistent with what you're promising here.

  • self hate man

  • I wonder if chrom-dome is ever going to demand a "truth commission" investigation into why Charlie Rangel never went to jail over his tax cheating.

  • how about an old fashioned walk to the whitehouse?

  • Senator Leahy was one of the few senators willing to speak against the Bush Administration during the darkest days of their administration. I'm no fan of the Democrats (or the Republicans), but Senator Leahy is one of the good guys.

  • Leahy... you fucking idiot!!!!

  • are you retarted bush and cheney good men. what planet are you from. if that many people on here really believe this crap. that comes to show you how truly screwed up this country truly is. and NHMntnHign, mydreamylover . both of you are so blind and browning bush and cheney's BS. Burn !!!!

  • I agree with the majority of the readers. They don't have anything better to do than to try to bring a good man down.This would not have happened on FDR's watch. They don't get the whole scope of whappened, action that was taken & why.A bunch of ignorant "servants" of this great country.They are a disgrace.Dumb!

  • This Guy is an Anit Amernican Terrorist rights protecting BASTARD! A Terroist is not a POW you SOB! Why don't you move to Iran and protect them over there. Lets see how long you live. You sorry poor excuse of a Senator. You Touchy feeling weakling excuse of a man. Don't know MIGHT is RIGHT! it always has been since creation. Power leads, Power wins, Power lives and Strength survives. What part don't get SISSY boy?

  • go Leahy

  • Will someone please vote this guy out?? He is dragging down the country

  • As long as the CIA does what it needs to do o protect this country I do not care what they do!! You cant have it both ways either you give them power to rule or to run

  • sorry man i just find that to be a pretty ignorant comment. Power corrupts , ultimate power corrupts ultimately. Need to have some oversight or any powerfull organization will eventually be corrupted.

  • Leahy is the man.

  • The grim truth is Sen. Leahy's proposal helped block the needed criminal investigation of the Bush (and now Obama) gutting of the Bill of Rights. Mission accomplished, Mr. Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- you've abandoned your limp truth commission scheme now that it has effectively blocked the urgently needed criminal investigation since it would have sweep up guilty Democrats & Republicans alike,

  • I am a Republican , and I have some questions, I care for the truth before I care to turn a blind eye for my party. I have discussed with Venezuelan attorneys that President Bush leading back to his Grandfather are owners of Chevron, now in Venezuela all foreign companies have been nationalized except for Chevron, I asked about the UN debacle they said that was a joke, oil prices high a year ago? we need some investigation. These are anti Chavez nationalists.

  • Leahy is a Nut!

    Obama is still using the same eves- dropping techniques on phone calls that Bush implimented.

    Instead of concentraing on getting Americans back to work this Bozo Leahy wants to change the subject, cause the stimulus is not working.

  • dont worry senator leahy your turn to be investigated is come next.

  • and people that have voted for bush and cheney are even BIGGER NUTS !!! fuck both parties mainly the republicans who have gotten us into this mess in the first place. vote independent or maybe democrat. bush sometime they fuck up to be me i am an indepent. and i have to agree with this Leahy guy. it takes an bozo not to. this is a first for the dem. way to go !!! but i still say that both parties suchs. one more then the other. LOL !!!!

  • BTW: Do yourself a HUGE favor and TRIM or DELETE your mustache all together!

    Seriously.

  • Bush was one of the best Presidents we've ever had.  Shame on you.

  • YOU should be investigated you fat ass!

  • What a joke, investigate Bush And Cheney, while Obama is in office comitting the same kind of crimes? We should investigate these assholes while they're still in office, so we can kick their back stabbing asses out BEFORE they can do any more dammage to the people. At the rate Obama's going, he'll commit more political crimes in two years, than Bush and Cheney comitted in the last eight years.

  • Hmm, its like you are wishing or hoping Obama breaks the law more than Bush did. Just because you hate Obama and need someone you can't stand to blame the countries ills on does not make it so. Sorry. Bush severely screwed this country almost to point of non-recovery. So matter how much you loath Obama does not make him evil...you're going to hate him no matter what he does whether its right or wrong and thats the TRUE problem. So just sit on your tail and just bitch.

  • You're just another one of those ignorant two party morons, playing the game. You people use the words hate, racist, and loathe to demonize people who

    exercise their patriotic right to dessent against the government.

    "It's OK to dessent against the other party because their criminals, but don't dessent against my party because they would never do anything against the American people." It doesn't matter which party you listen to, they ALL think their party was sent by God himself.

  • Uh my gawd mr. huff and puff you are! How the hell do you get along in life believing in your own self hating bullsh*t? you have no idea what party I belong to (if any) and like I said you desrcibe yourself to a T!! wow.

  • LMFAO! Thanks, you just proved my point. I've said nothing hateful in any of my comments, and now you're using the word hate to make me look bad. The fact that you're laying all the blame on Bush, and ignoring the fact that Obama isn't respecting his Conatitutional oath, tells me that you're either a democrat or an uneducated voter. So...the only one I "described to a T", is you.

  • You're going to back your party weather they're right or wrong, and THATS THE TRUE PROBLEM. And when they're wrong, you're going to spread their propaganda and lies to help them cover it up, just like the republicans did for Bush and Cheney. Bush brought us to the point of non-recovery so the next president could push us over the edge, and it didn't matter to them who got into office or which party they belong to, because they're ALL on the same page.

  • Yes I see you describe yourself to a T!! good job.

  • As I said in my other reply to you, the only one I described to a T, is you. I'm independant, I vote for public servants, not "world leaders".

  • OMG! Don't you have more important things to do than go on these ridiculous tirades and lie about your political affiliation? Ah, unlike you I actually have a life. I'm done entertaining you, go bitch to your cat now. Good night

  • committed violations to the law as if you were running a racketeering ring, totally disregarded the law, were an undercover racist against your own people, committed some forms of genocide (as some would define..not all), stole 2 elections...tell me Republican party, what punishment would you deserve? I will get no intelligent answer from the otherside just nasty comments that have no substance or valor/validity. Bottomline: Investigate then Prosecute. (That's Period for the slow 1s)

  • Funny Moore talked about this in the movie how it seemed like it was a dream....a nightmare even but it was not ... it was real... The country was apathetic for 10 years not 8. Remember Clinton impeachment 2 years - Lame duck presidency courteousy of the retard...i mean republicans. If you hid behind a devestasting attack to line your pockets with money, suspended Habeas Corpus (the right to be brought to court), crashed the stock market, flooded a city,

  • Please check yourself into a hospice and ask for a morhine drip. You are in the final stages of dementia.

  • Bush is a mother fucker. He exposed his asshole and allowed Cheney to stick his hand up it and allow Cheney to control him like a puppet. If humanity is to rise above ages of manipulators we have to be aware of those that manipulate us. Tie Bush to a stake and burn him.

  • Leahy is an socialist. He needs to retire.

  • Say, I've got a novel idea. What about investigating our current congress members like Pelosi for lying to the public about her knowledge of the CIA and spending millions of our tax money for private jets and for Rangall for lying to congress about cheating on his tax or better yet, a tax cheat like Geintner being put in charge of the IRS. How about our new Green Czar who is a ex-convict and a self proclaimed Radical Communist. Let's start with the crooks like Leahy in Congress NOW.

  • Didn't Cheney give this Idiot the finger?

    A Congressman mad cause he THINKS someone did not tell the truth in Washington D.C.?

    seriously?

    that is funny

  • Leahy has more Pedophiles in his state? Hmm, I wonder why?

  • When are these old crusty Kennedys, KKK Byrds, Leahys going to be voted out of office or retire so we can get our country back. They throw away the taxpayers money on fruitless programs, investigations, etc. Vote em out America!!!

  • Re-Pubic Cunnz- are a bunch of fear mongering idiots who have been get people riled up for nothing. Enough of these cunz.

  • republicans always worry about the democratswho never have done anything wrong. they always picking on president clinton for having an affair on his wife. the republicans wanted a impeachment. george bush have damaged his country and the world. and what do the republicans do. they defend bush from impeachment !!! that comes to show you that the republicans have problems in seeing reality and truth. everything is about a power stuggle with them. and not about the american people or the world.

  • Leahy is a fucking fruit

  • why is he a fruit? he just wants justic and trutht for the american people.this country was lyed to for over eight years with lies and curruption.people like you only look to serve the politico party and not the country.i am a democrat and if i

    see anywrong that the democrats are doing i would say it first hands.that was the problem with the last adminstration(george bush) was that they didn't serve the people of the united states just there party and there ideology believes. wake up !!!

  • Leaky Leahy is the last person on the earth to talk about misconduct of any sort. In any other country he would have been hanged as a traitor for leaking classified material while on the Senate Intelligence (and that's an oxymoron) committee.

  • so tell me sapsguy , why you don't see the crimes of the bush adminstration. are you that blinded by your own self rightness about your own party. that it's about the american people and not about the party. that was the hold problem with the last adminstration. they was more worried about increasing there power. and forgetting all about the american people. they do have bad democrats out there like sen. liberman that i really don't like. But Leahy is showing himself to be a true american hero.

  • And I have the perfect person to lead the investigation: RALPH NADER..dumb americans could have voted for him to be president and he promised to prosecute, but they voted for more of the same two headed ass

  • This guy needs to pull his head out of his butt.

    DEM'S HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN HIGH OFFICE THAT ARE CROOKS AND LAW BREAKER THAT THEY ARE BACKING RIGHT NOW.

    Clean your own house right. As A DEM I demand it!

  • ABOLONE. That is a bunch of CRAPPIE that only a BASS would believe. It is time to get in TUNA with the truth and quit FLOUNDERing on lies. I COD tell you the truth but the CLOWNS have the media spewing GOLD at the end of the RAINBOW. We should TROUT every word the CATS in DC say. The SUCKERS CARPing about grass seed think we should take the bait hook., line, and sinker.

    Please dont report me to Big Bro for being fishy!

  • This idiot is an unapologetic socialist. He's just an idiot and needs to retire.

  • Lets have a truth commission on how republicrat democans receive billions trillions of dollars from trial lawyers, other nations e.g. china, globalist, and socialist to force the hand of ALL those in congress write legislation, accrue national debt destroying our sovereignty as a nation. Then you politicians have the gall to blame hard working Americans for all the problems. The UNITED States of America we call it. If you do not change your ways succession will be the only choice!

  • To Senator Leahy: Eat a bullet.

  • google: THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY: how decades of clinton double-dealing compromised our national security

  • This guy has got a lot of nerve after leaking classified information to the press.

  • we need to smash down these conservatives

  • What you're forgetting is you can't live without conservatives. So to "smash down these conservatives" as you've stated, would lead to your own demise as well. Think about it next time you collect your next welfare check. Who's been taxed in order to provide you that check? Conservatives work and pay taxes while liberals are on the take. So you see?  You can't live without us, but we can live without you.

  • "I" could live quite nicely without conservatives...

    there are actually three types of conservatives...xenophobes, greedheads and religionists

  • No, you can't live without conservatives. You think the government is providing your welfare check, food stamps, and medicaid. What you don't understand is that they have to tax the hard woking conservative in order to pass it on to you.

    What do liberals do to provide food, transportation, housing, clothing, and national security? All you can do is line up at the polls to demand free healthcare.

  • you apparently do not understand conservatives...

    conservatives are haters, like archie bunker. they are greedy, and will cheat on their taxes, blaming widows orphans, children and cripples for the taxes they are unable to avoid. they will sanctamoniously try to impose their will on a free people.

    a liberal is anyone who seeks to leave society, and by extension the world, a little better then he found it

  • Hi Kenny, What kind of good work do you perform, you divisive little MORON?

  • i am a conservatologist...i educate people about conservatives, so they will not be duped by them into voting against their economic intrests

  • speaking of educating people about conservatives, have you read Naomi Klein's book Shock Doctrine? We have plenty of reasons to prosecute practically every asshole ion the Bush Administration.

  • Apparently you could also use an intelligent conservative to check your spelling....

    Can't spell, but like to act as if you have something resembling intellectual firepower.

    You're a joke.

  • Dude; do you even know who the real tax cheats are? The most notorious tax cheats are the Obama cabinet appointees.

  • there are at least 56,000 'americans' who have stiffed you and me and about 300 million others by hiding money in swiss accounts... we are having a blast knocking the coin out of their mitts...and 'bye bye off shore tax havens for corporate greedheads

  • Looks like you're describing the rich Hollywood liberals.

  • Kenny, you are wasting your time trying to sway neocons with logical argument or appeals to their conscience. They are ignorant and as such immune to logic. They lack conscience. Our invasion of Iraq and the subsequent deaths of possibly one million Iraqi civilians is proof of both.

  • But Kenny, Kenny, you need hard-working conservative to pay your way, and to come home after working all day and change your little diaper.

    You're a pathetic, close-minded, little bed-wetter!

  • conservatives never pay my way... they depress wages

  • Bush torture people, did not give good support to our troop at home or abroad. and oh ya bush filed for dictatorship during time of war. What a jerk.

  • You guys are a freaking joke and its obvious that YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU are the real enemys of my country and my freedom!

  • Sir, you are my Senator. We met back in 1974 during the gas shortage. I had to clean my boots after the meeting. Nothing has changed since. You divulged classified info. to impress the media,lied to Strom Thurman and now wish to conduct a witch hunt when more pressing matters affect the residents of VT. Sir you've sold your sole to the dark side and no longer speak for those "native" Vermonters who sent you to Washington. I also figured you'd vote against recriprical which you did, thanks.

  • Last line should read reciprical carry.

  • Well...at least Leahy isn't as bad as Nancy Pelosi. Of course, that's like saying getting punched in the gut isn't as bad as being punched in the face.

  • its not as bad, trust me. but geting punched in the asshole is cool

  • Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies. ~ Thomas Jefferson

  • As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed,,,God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless. ~ Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Col. Wm. F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864.

  • In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist....Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

    D. D. Eisenhower

    January 17, 1961

  • If this was WII, someone would be swinging at the end of a rope over the treasonous Valarie Plame affair.

  • I don't remember there being an investigation into the illegal and unjustified war in Kososvo, the highly illegal and intrusive Echaelon Program that listened in on regular Americans, the use of the IRS as a weapon against people who did not support him, the total lack of security and resistance by his former employees of standard FBI back ground checks, the intimidation of witnesses during the impeachment trial. I could go on but what's the fucking point? Liberal democrats are traitors.

  • Torbon, are you a birther/torture apologist? Feel bad for you buddy..must be hard lookin at yourself in the mirror each morning. good luck with that.

  • caw we have you investaged for your corruption all the meny you recive like your repblican counterparts well why not besides your sick you diguest me along with all the rest of your kind the beurcarats

  • lol@ the truth - we dont get it from Obama either, will we investigate him?

  • I think this guy was wanting to suck me off at the last airport I was at.

  • Like you really care about truth? The Bush Administration has protected this nation after 9/11. You and your ilk are crying because THREE SORRY AL-QAEDA EXCREMENT WERE TORTURED?!!! Why do you liberal clowns always believe your enemies believe in the same things you do? If your so gung-ho about truth, why don't you investigate the Chinese communists contributions to the Clinton/Gore campaign? Sen. Leahy, you're one of the many reasons why we need term limits!

  • mr leahayewaqgytWAQEGAWESDVAWSDEG­Sdg wtf

  • Re: Afghan captured US Pfc. Bergdahl ~Should we practice what you preach? I hope and pray that Mr. Bergdahl will not be tortured and will return home safely. I knew in my heart that is wouldn't take long for the United States to realize just what the consequences of the decisions of the last FAILED administration would be. If you have ANY doubt about why torture and illegally detaining people would mean, this is a very good example. What are we to do now? Anyone?

  • Senator Leahy is right--there MUST BE an investigation of this.

    But a REAL INVESTIGATION this time, not just the empty theater that so often passes for "real investigations," wherein the American people are once again fooled into believing that something has been thoroughly investigated, when in fact only low-level operatives are ever charged (if anyone at all), and the matter is swept neatly under the rug.

    Senator Leahy is one of the few people I still trust in Congress.

  • Talking about bad precedent, this is one of them! you are setting a bad precedent to those who will come behind you. Libs won't be in power for the rest of their lives. This truth commission should have been established many years ago to investigate Bill Clinton! I bet you the GOP will come after your ass when your term is over!

  • Bush & Cheney shat all over the US Constitution. They should be held accountable and the rule of law restored to this country.

  • can you and ted just die already?

  • What a Jackass Leahy is. Obama and his communist cohort's assault on the constitution is 100 times more damaging than anything Bush ever did. Wake up, Sheeple!

  • This is NOT about politics! It is about investigating to find the TRUTH and recording the TRUTH in history instead of sweeping it under the rug and never acknowledging it. Those who do NOT want to hear the TRUTH will be condemned to repeat the mistakes of the abusers. What are they so afraid of? I signed the petition!

  • Bush and Cheney are the biggest war criminals ever, even surpassing Hitler, because their crimes continue and have not ceased yet, the whole abusive of power argument is not really relevant to the fact that they contributed to, orchestrated 911 and the continuing debacle that has cost untold thousands of lives and has left this country and most of the world in monetary ruin. You know, the people of Germany were not aware of Hitlers atrocities at the beginning, they considered Hitler their savior

  • For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

    Ephesians 5:12

  • If it's "Top Secret" and "Classified," that means you can't tell lawmakers about it. Leahy- you're a frickin moron!

  • He is a DICK!!!!

  • liberal politian just as crooked as all of them, yes you too leahy

  • Bush and Cheney need to be put on trial.The whole world, America included(the real America, not the self-serving bastards is the capital, not the media,but real people, who can think and Act for themselves)are screaming for it.The natives are getting very restless. george bush sr said "if the American people knew what my family has done we would be lynched in the streets"

  • By all means investigate bush and cheney,and don't stop there. Put those two thieving pieces of shit in prison and then follow the money to see who is to blame for the collapse of the economy.

  • Senator Leahy ,

    Why don't you investigate yourself for your part in the housing collapse?

    You Democrats want to deflect attention to Bush because your rule over the White House and Congress thus far has been nothing short of a disaster.

    I look forward to the DNC defeat this fall and again in mid-terms in 10.

  • shut up you freaking idiot. Bush and Cheney trashed this country and you are trying to redirect peoples attention away from the current issue. Address the issue being discussed here or go somewhere else.

  • Wow a politician talking about truth? What a JOKE these guys are. Just another way to waste taxpayer money trying to make themselves look good.

  • also you have to investigate to the responsibles of the economical crisis..tom tancredo,lindsay graham..jeff sessons are the most responsable man

    to the crisis hapent

  • Yes - Democrats have no culpability in the economic disaster....except for forcing the Community Reinvestment Act upon us, coercing banks to make risky loans under threat of Justice Dept. investigation, supporting high taxes at all levels of Government, and playing into the back pocket of trial lawyers who over-regulate and over-legislate every aspect of our lives.....

  • A truth commission is long overdue. Bush, Cheney and all the other extremists who enabled their 8-year assault on American values must be held accountable.

  • Bush and Cheney extremists? Really?

    What does that make Obama? Hitler incarnate?

    Get real.....

  • As long is be drags Pellosi up there and beats the truth out of her

  • I'm totally in favor and will sign. It's a step in the right direction. We should also investigate Democrats in on the same thing... and that's why the investigation won't go very far. It's all about partisanship and winning elections. If the Democrats were to investigate, they themselves would be investigated. I don't see Obama repealing any of Bush's police state initiatives or doing anything meaningful towards ending unjustifiable foreign entanglements.

  • Senator, what did you learn at St. Michael's College? You are wildly liberal and don't represent the views of the majority in this country. Whatever, in all you do, be fair and impartial and St Mike will smile on you for eternity. Best Wishes from your old classmates!

  • grow up, read the news, all of it......the more you write, the stupider you look. Please................

  • what a buffoon, what an absolute joke, almost cartoonish. Heres the truth, your an idiot ,democrats lie cheat and steal, and murder millions of unborn children.

  • Looks like this guy could suck a big dick

  • fake

  • what a wast of brain power to believe any of this.

  • retroactively deemed illegal by the likes of...slacker slayer?

    You're a bit late, the senate supported the resolution overwhelmingly. They can turn around now and say it was under false pretenses but for all the blame on warmongering they never once spoke up when it mattered, with the sole exception of Kucinich in the Senate and Paul in the House.

    Meanwhile, there is no risk of Saddam continuing any program of any kind, no more guessing why he kept kicking out the inspectors.

  • This guy proves Its a lot easier to sit in the cheap seats and take shots at a president that had to make some quick decisions to defend the country.

    We still do not know what information we recieved from the three individuals who were waterboarded. Why dont they reveal this information? It would clear up a lot of misperceptions created by the Dems and the media.

  • You talk about open government...let's see Obama's original birth certificate...if it saves ONE AMERICAN LIFE torture the bastards... to all you lefties out there, if your daughter was kidnapped and you knew who had info to get her back...what would you do? Tell your daughter you wouldn't torture that person and see what her reaction would be.

  • Comment removed

  • PLEASE DOOOO

    They orchestrated and created 9/11. as cheney says remember 9/11. WE DO U industrialist CROOK.

    JP MORGAN reincarnated, originator of the GREAT DEPRESSION.

  • He said, he supported waterboarding, and that there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Surprisingly honest statements.

    How is your Meth?

  • answer the simple question, you! what flavor did they serve you? HE SAID, WHAT FLAVOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!!!

    ANSWER THE QUESTION! IS IT SAFE? IS IT SAFE?

    SLACKER SLAYER WANTS AN ANSWER! AND WHEN SLACKER SLAYER WANTS AN ANSWER, HE GETS ONE!

    also, I don't think the meth is working. He actually thinks his arguments make sense.

  • ...sure, they get elected in "historic victories."

  • I did not support the war in Iraq, but the US Senate did. It was a stupid war that wasted the lives of many young Americans. That said, it seems that Cheney has been surprisingly honest and upfront about water boarding. Compare this to Pelosi who confessed that she knew since 2003, thought it was wrong, but went along anyway.

  • Democrats=Liarcrats Party

  • The United States is a Republic i.e. a land of laws. If the Bush administration has done nothing wrong they have nothing to fear. Why does everything have to be so partisan? THOSE Democrats are gonna destroy the earth or THOSE Republicans are sinking this country into Dante's Inferno! Anyone who breaks the law should face the music. Even if is your Beloved President Bush who drove this country into the ground, and who will no doubt go down as the worst President in history. Refute that.

  • I guess Dick Cheney said it best to your face Leahy. "Go fuck yourself."

  • I swear these Democrats wont be happy untill we become a banana Republic, Oboma is driving us straight into socialism and we are supposed to spend our time thinking about Bush and how we should indite Him?

    Pravda knows what this is,...

    the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
