Major Hogwash

26. The American people did that.

Look at the Congress they gave President Obama to work with!!

Do you honestly think that the Congress we have today would be more liberal if Nancy Pelosi would have started an investigation in 2009 into why Bush allowed torture to take place during his administration?

Now, before we go on with this discussion, let it be known right here and now that I support the death penalty.
And the penalty for giving an order to torture someone is for them to be hung until they are dead.
I already looked it up and found out that was the penalty.
So, even though I believe that Bush and Cheney should both be hung for allowing torture to take place while they were in office, they are just flecks of dawg doo in the grand scheme of things.

Hanging them would be just, in my opinion.
But, history will be their ultimate judge, and I think that history will accurately reflect what worthless tiny specks of filth they were while they were here on this ethereal plane.
