THAT’S our problem! There are no more men in this country! Everyone is so worried about what’s on their I-POD and if their Benz was crunched or their stocks went down and how they can screw the rest of the populace in voting for the right “American Idol”. I’m not going to say anymore. Good GOD people, get a life.
Look at the Washington Compost editorial about this and you be the judge. I’d say, yes.
She absolutely should resign for malfeasance, but she will not.
Very surprising to me too.
How many Republicans will stand up in the House and put themselves on record as demanding Pelosi’s resignation?
Calling Duncan Hunter, Calling Duncan Hunter! A sure fire way to get your name out there!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. That’ll happen.
I just made up this little parody this morning
to the tune of the Talking Heads, Burning Down the House
Speaker of the House
Watch out, you get just what you vote for
Fool lady, strange and even faker
She’s a very liberal girl
Speaker of the House
Vote Right, make sure her party’s over
Vote Right, No more for Nancy’s Power
She just can not get her way!
Speaker of the House
Here’s her ticket packed her bag: time for jumpin’ overseas
Her Jet Air liner is here
Close enough but not too far, Nancy you should stay abroad
Fighting Facts with Falsehood
Her head, she might just need a burka
Step Down, she is supporting gay rights
two Hundred twenty three she won
Speaker of the House
She is such a disgrace sometimes I just don’t know myself
Who put her in first place?
People who don’t want to work, hey but what did you expect
Now we know who to blame
Her House, out of the ordinary
That’s right, don’t want to hurt minorities
Some things sure can make me want to Shriek!
Speaker of the House
No visible signs of support and we have not seen nothing yet
Pelosi sucks all together
I don’t know what she expects not understanding her mind set
fighting facts with Falsehood
Do you want me to write them?
see post #10
LOL...Another few months of her being Speaker and you’ll have a lot more ammunition for more verses.
No; Nancy Pelosi should never have been speaker of the house.
I just sent my representative a little note. She's newly elected and is a democRAT. Below is the message I sent to her:
I am writing to ask you to represent my wishes to call for the resignation of Nancy Pilosi for violating the Logan Act by going abroad against the wishes of our President and the State Department.
Conducting foreign policy by the Speaker of the House is not just a serious violation, it is a felony. Please respond with your intentions.
Thank you,
haha thanks!
I might just have to think of another parody, I love doing that kind stuff.
The author should have picked a better example than Jim Wright - his case isn’t anything like this - he didn’t resign over foreign policy or interference in foreign policy - he resigned because he took bulk book sales to get around speaking fee limits and because he tried to get an investigation into two friendly banks quashed.
Oh, and because a business crony hired Wright’s wife but she didn’t do any work. I think were 60+ accumulated ethics charges all having to do with some sort of small personal financial gain - he wasn’t even a smart crook.
The truth is the battle to control foreign policy goes back and forth and doesn’t have a clear constitutional divide.
And for the past few years the Administration has had more power but the current President is viewed as vulnerable and will be getting such challenges.
>Events have confirmed that together the President and Congress make foreign policy, but they have not resolved the question of which branch originates or finally determines policy. The two branches share in the process and each plays an important but different role. The question of who makes foreign policy does not have a more precise answer for several reasons.<<
The State Department web site has a history of the shifts in power between the Executive and Legislative branches including times when the Legislative branch has changed or modified the President’s policies - like when congress did not like President Carter’s shift away from relations with Taiwan.

Well, that may be true but no one has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act. One person was indicted but charges were dropped before it went trial.
I personally believe she should be charged and tried and if found guilty let the appeals courts decide whether it’s constitutional or not, she would at least be made an example of no matter what the outcome.
She should be arrested and tried for treason. And upon conviction: stood up against a wall, and shot. (She can wear her Assad appeasement scarf over her head.)
all fixed now.
Only if they want to look like asses. The Logan Act has resulted in only one indictment (in 1803!) and no prosecutions. It is utterly dead by reason of disuse and only gets trotted out every twenty years or so when someone wants to whine about a critic.
This is just politics as usual and Bush can blow it off easily.
Thanks...I remember the Wright fiasco but didn’t remember those were the reasons he resigned. I did remember his trips to Central and South America and his efforts to circumvent foreign policy.
