Excellent piece.
Just wondering - what are the strange print characters that show up on some of the posts? I don't see it on all of them - but wonder what they are?
Is there a problem with my computer settings?
impeach impeach IMPEACH HER!!!
if you can
otherwise give endless calls for her resignation.
Not so much. The dems understand the whip only. What was that dem orchestrated House rule that targeted Tom Delay for the jury-searched indictment for retroactively violating a law? Oh, yeah...an indicted congressman cannot hold a leadership position!
Simple. Get an indictment. Gonzales announces said indictment (machiavellian poetry). Whether there will be a conviction is immaterial (though, trials of speaker’s of the house serve as a nice rejoinder to the house’s hearings ad nauseum). Pelosi, by her own rules, must resign her speaker’s position. The president’s poll numbers cant be hurt (any more). The impeachment threat doesnt stand. Now that the dems can smell the glove...can we work together now? are you going to cut the S? Or do I need to hit you again? We can indict Democrat congressmen ALL DAY LONG and dont have to stretch a point of law to do it (unlike your specter-backed judiciary committee charades). And we have the will to do it (that would be refreshing).
Pelosi cannot stand. It is, after all, good vs. evil. And good must prevail. Pansy responses like that the article’s author suggest give the other side the sense that they will never be truly held to account and can proceed with impunity. It is this type of counsel, then, that is partially responsible for the democrat behavior (failure to discipline the child when he/she was young).
Pelosi must be indicted. Gonzales should announce the indictment. An indicted member cannot keep a leadership position. Pelosi is stripped of the speaker position. Smell the glove, america-haters, now, do you want another piece of this (we got plenty of members to indict....for REAL crimes). Or are you going to cut the S.? Speaker Hoyer...hmm, speaking to known sponsors of terrorism...seems like aiding and abetting...indict...NEXT!..who’s the 3rd choice for speaker? We can get a majority back simply by arresting the felons on the Hill.
The question is how one properly reprimands Pelosi without going nuclear. The best solution that I can devise is to clip her wings literally, and hold back long-range government aircraft for the remainder of her hopefully two-year tenure. I'm sure Syria will do enough in the next while to make Damascus Nancy as good a name as Hanoi Jane.
Ridicule would be best. She pushed all that pork in the Iraq funding bill, including the utterly urgent spinach and tropical fish subsidies. I recommend referring to her henceforth as “the Tropical Fish Lady” or the “Fish Salad Lady” or the “Baghdad Fish Salad Lady.”
Sorry to disagree with Andy here, but if Newt would have done this during the Clinton years, David Bonior and Nancy Pelosi would have pushed for him to be indicted. Recall Pelosi was part of the leadership back then.
Haven't you heard? Pelosi is a Democrat. Democrats are above, beyond, and immune from the law.
Besides, she is just following precedent set by Jesse Jackson himself, and we all know that Jesse is the king when it comes to having unauthorized relations with foreign governments.
BULL CRAP!!!!
Bela Peloski needs to be tryed under the Logan Act, along with the three Republicans that went with her, and booted out of office....never to return!
She is trying to run the Government, excuse me, but I did not vote Peloski as President, I voted George W. Bush as President and until his term is over, that is who I expect to run this country!!!
A debate is a good idea. Democrats so far have shown they fear debates. Does Nancy Pelosi have a stronger backbone than Obama, Hillary, and Edwards?
Leftist Liberal Democrats have gotten a free pass for too long. Nancy needs to pay a dear price for what she has done.
This one needs to be persued to the end instead of swept under the rug. I agree with the position of trying her in the court of public opinion. That can be done on the TV news by pundits and bloggers upon idictment. Just as it was for Scooter Libby.
If this action is allowed to stand without legal action, 08 may be lost. The conservative base will be further alienated by a lack of strength and may well sit home in greater numbers than 06.
Many people here on FR blame those folks, but I offer that people want their positions represented and when they aren’t, a price is paid called lack of support. Some call it RINO syndrome. Does the GOP want to be ‘taught another lesson’? Prosecution of Nancy Pelosi would demonstrate that a lesson was learned. Bush’s latest immigration speech shows that lesson was heard as he shifted a bit to the right on that subject. Now it is time to show it was learned and not just heard.
I read about people posing the Newt example. I am no fan on President Clinton but I respect the office of President and what the Executive branch holds when it comes to due power. Had Newt done something like this, he would have, and should have been prosecuted.
Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted to show everyone that that anarchy of the Leftist Democrats will no longer be tolerated. They must be reminded that actions have consequences. Now is the time and this is the example to do it properly. Maybe the American people could even gain an education about the three branches, and what their PROPER role is in our government in the process.
Prosecute Pelosi. Do it now.
One "non-partisan" special prosecutor deserves another IMHO. (If only the White House had the spine to do it.)
No, this is simply more of the same. It isn't a "knee-jerk" to enforce the law! Ms. Pelosi is no more above the law, particularly law written specifically on this subject, than any other citizen.
Pelosi should be arrested and prosecuted under the Logan Act.
Republicans have taken the gentlemanly, "be above it all" approach for far too long.
You can't win a street fight with debate. Democrats have been fighting a dirty street fight for years, and too many Republicans just don't get it.
Don’t debate her, don’t investigate her, just arrest and prosecute her.
