Nah, we don’t want her to resign! The idea is that if the other side wants to hang themselves, give them as much rope as they want!
A couple days ago there was a similar thread where it was speculated that W was protecting his father from the Clinton's as they has worked on a money raising venture through Arkansas. To date it was the only thing that made sense short of President W lacking the moxie to do the job.
I think that we should all call our Democrat congressmen (if you have one) and tell him that the Democrats need to sanction Pelosi for an ethics violation before the Republicans prosecute her for violation of the Logan Act.
I think it's true that it would be hard to prosecute her under the Logan Act. At the very least, Pelosi should be censured, but with the Dems in control I don't see that happening either.
I agree, Pelosi needs to resign or be prosecuted. I have sent an email to my representative, and it’s important that you all do the same. To all of you people who are saying that it’s not worth it because you think that she will never be prosecuted, what have you got to lose? All you have to do is spend 2 minutes to type an email to your rep, if it doesn’t work then at least you tried. But if it does, we might actually get to see her be prosecuted!

Thru the looking glass.....
I hereby call upon Nancy Pelosi to resign!
There. It is done.
Yes, but Newt was supposedly unfaithful to his wife and thus, most FReepers see that as a larger issue than anything else. They’d prefer The Beast or al Sadr in the WH than Newt.
I don't dispute that W is a gentleman. However, letting Nancy get a pass on her unlawful actions, or not responding firmly to Democrat lies is not gentlemanly behavior. It is just plain foolish.
She is a Democrat. They can do anything. Nothing happens to them, even if they have sex with an intern in the oval office while working. Illegal and anti-American behavior are like medals for them. They will enshrine Nance a saint. Democrat women will all start wearing head scarves.
I like my wife’s characterization of the current situation: “Politics has become the classic really bad marriage between a ‘nice’ guy or woman (the Repubs) and the screaming, ranting, angry-maniac husband or wife (the Dems). After awhile the ‘nice’ spouse just shuts up and ‘takes it’ because they know they never can win and they’re weary of trying because it just ends up in a screaming, howling fit of name-calling and lies that go no where and acomplish nothing.”
We are being conditioned to be at odds with each other, and it is up to us not to accept the bait.
If you don’t believe this, ask yourself how well your neighborhood seems to do. Is your neighborhood like the national news? Do you observe conflict as it is prtrayed in the news?
As FDR said, in politics, nothing is by accident...if it happened, someone wanted it to happen (paraphrasing).
The question is: who stands to gain if we are a divided people, who spend their time looking inward, rather than looking outward?
I suspect that when the House comes back in session, ther will be a number of calls and comments. It may get nasty....naw, but I can always hope!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, GOD BLESS OUR BRAVE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN THE FIELD OF BATTLE, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Why, thank you my dear. Blessed be you and yours.
But divorce or a death is the logical end of that situation. Divorce means moving out of country, murder is out, and suicide is not an option.
"...I am just about ready to go underground..."
Dropping out of the net is tough to do, but it's possible. One just has to lower ones expectations, and live very simple. ........... FRegards
The White House did respond firmly, both before and after this vainglorious trip, and after Pelosi’s ludicrous comment that she represented the president, Congress, and the entire universe. That’s about as far as they’re going to go, but it is enough, unless Bush wants to take action to remove her.
That’s fine as far as it goes. Maybe I am too much of a loose cannon. But I am also referring to Bush’s entire time in office. I have seen very little of forceful rebuttal to the Dems over the years. To be fair, I am lumping the Republicans in congress into the mix.
What should be happening is the Republicans in congress should be howling 24/7 that Pelosi should be called on to resign. This administration has [for unknown reasons] not exerted, or been able to exert, much influence on its own party in congress.
