"I hope you made a call to FAT ASS Hasert! I sure as hell did!!! Hasert is the same RINO twit who keeps Real Conservatives like Mike Pence in the shadows!
I also called Bill Frist & gave his office an ear full as well.
Do these pricks think congress is above the law?"

Perhaps you are confused? The Republican/conservative bashing forum is down the hall, to the left>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"In this photo, she could be the twin sister of the infamous "runaway bride" from Georgia."

The "runaway bride" has always looked like Pelosi. I read several post, back when the bride was running, that thought they look enough like her to be sisters.

"Further, such a request would be discriminatory, in as much as no other Member currently under federal investigation has been asked to step down from a substantive, legislative committee assignment."

Paging Tom DeLay...

Ah! Louisiana in Spring ... the scents of New Orleans ... coffee beans roasting ... hops at the Dixie Brewery ... sweet olive wafting over patio walls ... miasma of damp brick sidewalks laid in herringbone pattern ... the Lucky Dog cart ... alleys full of refuse from restaurants ... the foetid aroma of politics ...

Wow!! Sounds like a James Lee Burke(Detective Dave Robicheaux) novel.

>>It is her responsibility to clean the trash from her side of the aisle.<<

Yep, and in the meantime, Cynthia McKinney is still taking up valuable space, and Patrick Kennedy's job is on hold awaiting his heroic return to the H of R.

C'mon, Nancy, show us you mean what you say about the high ethical standards of the caucus. Tick, tock.

You never heard one word of Delay refusing to step down, nor did Hasert have to speak out in public requesting that he step down.

No, just that they decided to change their own rules so that he didn't have to step down.

But the thing is they DIDN'T. The dems are so immoral they don't even have a rule to change.

......What has Hastert done to Ney?.....

Oh come now. Don't be a racist.

Ney did not get caught with a hundred grand in cash of which $90k was found in his freezer and he did not commandeer a rescue vehicle to save the cash from a hurricane.

Knock me over with a feather, Rep Jefferson plays the RACE CARD! If Pelosi was a Republican, the MSM would be implying she hates blacks and men by her resignation request. The couldn't happen to a better bunch of A-holes who are running on:"The Republicans are mired in the Culture of Corruption..." and nothing else!

If Hasert would shut his mouth this would be just the beginning of the Rats imploding on themselves.

Maybe we can get an update to the title? Jefferson has refused to quit Ways & Means (article link in post 168).
