    I really detest this woman. Democrat pansies continue to make a mockery of their so-called congressional majority.

    Impeach Bush/Cheney.

    The Democratic Party is a complete joke. Is there really any difference between the parties? I'm growing increasingly disillusioned with the politics in this country.

    I refuse to believe someone who has reason to her level of success would try something so stupid, seriously

    I don't think even the most corrupt members of the GOP would ever propose something like that. Isn't there anyone the Dems can offer up for Speaker besides this idiot?

    I'm with you rhad. I hate the b****. I know it's a little over-the-top, but I think she is wholly unfit for the position. Sam Rayburn is rolling over in his grave.

    Pelosi's first battle in Congress was to remove an amendment (from an unrelated bill) that would have required Congressional approval before an attack on Iran.

    No argument from me. I wish my party had better leadership at the very top in Congress. I don't like Reid, either.



    Impeach Bush/Cheney.

    Deckard would do a damn fine job.

    Impeach Pelosi. Sentence her to 10 years of jury duty.

    I realize I'm dumb, but isn't the link just talking about a memo of recommendations on updating laws/rules?

    1) They are recommendations, they haven't happened yet.
    2) Where is Pelosi coming in on this? It was written by Capuano to Brady?

    Where is the meat? I'd like a link to something a bit more substantial than some blog.

    I definitely don't like Pelosi but I think this article is nonsense. If this issue doesn't erupt into an explosive firestorm by the end of today, then we know it's nonsense.

    There was an update. My reaction was an overreaction.

    Concur. There were a lot of posters who criticized me for my distaste for Nancy Pelosi as speaker ... and this is a prime example (but not the only one) of why. I don't mind that she is a woman or a liberal -- I do mind that she puts partisan politics over the needs of the country....just like Hillary.

    It is nonsense and Culbertson is about as a ridiculus right winger as you can get.


    Here is a comment that may very well size up this false issue by Culbertson.
    *****
    Looking at the letter, I think you (and apparently Rep. Culberson) have seriously misconstrued it. Those regulations govern “official” House communications, that is, messages which are paid for by the taxpayers. It is entirely appropriate for the House to set rules restricting such communications. For example, we would all agree that incumbents should not have unlimited franking (taxpayer-paid mail) privileges in the run-up to his reelection, used to send us all campaign literature at our own expense. As I read that letter, it does not claim to regulate ANY speech by Members of Congress on blogs or other websites, such as (among many others) their campaign web sites. It only applies to official content produced at taxpayer expense. If Rep. Culberson wishes to write his own blog on a private site, I don’t see anything in this letter which would stop him. If he wants to have his taxpayer paid staff write a blog on a private site, then these rules would apply… as they should.
