Pelosi and Lantos went over to Syria for one purpose, and that was to undermine United States foreign policy. That's why they went, and that is what they did, and now they are responding to criticism by claiming they really went over there to celebrate all the religious holidays, to carry the president's message and so forth. But she is lying about it, and Lantos let the cat out of the bag because he admitted that they were there establishing an alternative Democrat foreign policy, which means he admits that the Democrats are attempting to undermine established US foreign policy. Now, here's what we need, folks. We need an investigation. We need a public hearing. I'm not a fool here. I know that there's not one Republican who is going to call for this, but I don't care. I'm just telling you this is what we need. We need an investigation, a public hearing, to determine exactly what these freelancing members of Congress did in the Middle East and what they said and to whom they said it.
We need some accountability here. We have it with state department officials when they go overseas. There is accountability. They have to go up to the Congress and testify as to what happened. Condoleezza Rice has to go up there periodically. The CIA director has to come up. Other administration officials have to go to Congress time and time again and report what's going on and what they're doing. It's called "oversight." They're required in the state department to account for their missions. Does the Joe Wilson story ring any bells here? Now, when Pelosi and Lantos and the others in her traveling party conduct themselves in other-than-appropriate ways by undertaking diplomatic efforts like this, fact-finding or otherwise, whatever it is, we need to know what occurred. Where are the transcripts of her talk with Assad? Now, again, I'm under no illusions here. Democrats are not going to demand an inquiry and the media is not going to demand an inquiry, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't demand one, and it doesn't mean that there shouldn't be one.
I sit here and I read every day where Henry Waxman is firing off letters demanding e-mails from some other Republican or Republican agency, and I sit here and smoke starts coming out of both of my ears. It's time for these people to be put under the gun. You know, Democrats are angry all the time. They're outraged all the time, and I think (I'm getting more and more comfortable here psychoanalyzing these people) anger on the Democrat side has become a virtue. I think anger is one of the links that has all these Democrats tied together, from the blogs to the elected officials, to voters. Their anger and their outrage -- which, remember, last year at this time, I'm suggesting it's what was going to doom them, because most people do not want to put up with it. They don't want to hear doom and gloom and anger and rage. It's not infectious. It's not inspiring. I don't know if I was wrong about that yet or not. The jury's still out on the American public's reaction to it in toto, because I think the Republicans did more to defeat themselves than the Democrats did to win last November.
Nevertheless, the fact is this rage and this anger that they exhibit, has become virtuous. It's almost become a mating call from one Democrat to another -- and that's how they send out the signal that they're on the same team, and it's about how they're propagating issues and ideas and so forth. It's anger and it's rage, and it's become virtuous, and of course Republicans are not angry. They never act mad about anything! The Democrats are angry 24/7. Pick a name. Pick a Democrat. They're always mad. Even Dingy Harry is mad all the time! Tom Daschle was mad. He was "concerned," all the time. Pelosi's mad all the time. Ted Kennedy's mad all the time. The blogs? They go beyond mad. They are insane! A lot of nighttime cable network commentators are insane. They're not just mad. They're enraged, insane. They have lost their minds -- and as such they're attracting like-minded sickos, but that rage propels them. Henry Waxman's mad, and Henry Waxman continues to try to do anything he can to destroy -- and that's politics. The Republicans on the other hand have no such rage. I'm not suggesting they get enraged. I'm just drawing differences here, although I think there's plenty of stuff where if I were a Republican on Capitol Hill, I would be livid what Waxman is doing.
I'd stand up and I'd go before cameras and microphones and I would say so, but (sigh) you've gotta have guts to do that, and I guess it's in short supply. Regardless, it's time to put these people under the gun, the Pelosis, the Lantoses and so forth, because they're getting away with not only incoherence, they're undermining US foreign policy, and they're not being made to account for it. They're offering no facts, no details of their meetings. They're papering it over with all of this cliché mumbo jumbo, all this New Age jive that people swoon over. "Awwwe, they're talking! They're having dialogue," but their statements about what they were doing and what they did are incoherent and using famous Democrat strategy, philosophy. Why, those statements are so incoherent, what they're doing is so incoherent, it makes no sense. That requires an investigation, because the seriousness of the charge is, of course, more relevant than the nature of the evidence -- and in this case we got plenty of nature of evidence. We got people lying. Lantos, Pelosi, somebody! You roll the dice, it'll come up all of them are because they're lib Democrats.

Just hand her over to the Israeli government. Olmert undoubtedly has some questions he would like answers to.
Gotta clean the bifocals. I saw: “Sneaker Of State”.

No wonder they think we're so easy to conquer, after these two fossils show up representing us.
MEGA-BUMP!!!!!!!
They seem incapable of setting a factual premise (on any given issue) and making the DEMs/MSM respond from that...
I think Bush should arrest both Pelosi and Lantos and send them (like Lincoln sent the congressman to Jeff Davis) to Iran or Algeria or Syria. Problem is, our enemies are (like Jeff Davis) smart enough to reject ‘em and send ‘em back.
Lantos is the most repulsive shmuck of all the Democrat Traitor-crowd.
He is a Jew who survived the Holocaust in Hungary and now lowers himself to kiss the rear of Neo-Hitler Ahmadinejad.
Unbelievable. He is totally demented.
I think Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd could have better represented us than those two clowns.
Just keep saying it. Consider that the alternative of these people is those "horrible" Bible-thumpers. Why in the world would a Bible-thumper be interested in what happens in 'Eretz Yisra'el anyway? [/sarcasm]
Agreed.
Lantos to Craig Livingstone: "Admeeerrrraaaaal Booooooorrrrda committed soooeeeccidde for less that you did". Livingstone turned ashen grey.
By the way, who hired Craig Livingstone? We never did find out.
Apparently the only thing Lantos learned from the Holocaust was to be a far-left, new age, lunatic fringe, vegetarian fruit loop.
Pelosi is even dumber than Albright and Lantos looks like he’s lost his mind.
After Lantos left Syria, Assad probably tortured a few Jews just for kicks. Then sent off a few suicide vests to Iraq.
It’s a silent coup. I’m sure the Democrats think it’s great. There won’t be an investigation. It’s disgusting.
Pelosi is so dumb she thinks she’s our chief diplomat, she thinks Assad is going to help Israel vs. Hezballah.
I nominate Condi Rice, the REAL Secretary of State, for President. Rice is a real conservative, unlike McCain, Giuliani, and the rest of the fake Republicans. She would receive the votes of average American parents, women, minorities, men, active military and veterans, those who respect integrity, honesty, hard work, and those who want free enterprise and the defeat of terrorists around the world. CONDI FOR PRESIDENT
Pelosi is brilliant. So is Reid. They know what is going on. We sit here and criticize them for the wrong things.
These people aren’t marxists or leftists or whatever you want to call them. They are flat our criminals who use people so they can obtain power and steal from our pockets and put it into theirs. They don’t care about this country. They care only about their bank accounts and they will lie, cheat and steal to get your money.
Why in hell would a person who has a gazillion dollars take a job for $140,000? To do something good? Bull!
You want to know the difference between Democrats and Republicans? The difference is, Republicans want a piece of the action. Democrats want it all. And Republicans are willing to let the RATS have it all as long as they can take a piece.
I always thought this was about ideology. It isn’t. It is about the dollar. Racism is about money. Political Correctness is about money. Even the Soviets realized that they weren’t making any money because there was no profit in spending your own money on your own equipment.
This entire global warming debate convinced me that this world is about powerful people stealing from the rest of us while we sit here all starry eyed and think our noble conservative leaders will help us. What they will allow us to do is to take a piece for ourselves as long as we cut them in for a piece because they understand that we will not live in bondage.
The RATS will just as soon throw us in prison, take our land for the lack of doing that, take our money in taxes. There isn’t even wealth redistribution. Who has benefitted from wealth redistribution besides lawyers, union leaders and politicians?
Sorry.... I am just blowing off steam and howling at the world.
What’s this I hear that she may be going to Iran and give ol Scruff face some sugar next.She sure has a thing for terrorist dictators ,don’t she?
England has a king and other democracies have presidents, but the US is the only G8 country where the president sets foriegn policy. I have heard over the years that many thought this should be changed, and Pelosi is actually setting about doing just that.
The White House needs to stop this, or the executive branch will be diminished beyond hope.
