Piling On Pelosi
by Big Dog on May 15, 2009 at 19:44 Political
The Director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, issued a letter to his people indicating that the CIA had been honest with Congress and that they should not let the noise interfere with their job of keeping America safe. In other words, this Obama appointee called Pelosi a liar.
That’s right. Panetta said the CIA told the truth to Congress even though Pelosi said that the CIA lied. Looks like Pelosi has ticked off a lot of spies who are fighting back against allegations made for political purposes.
Pelosi is in deep and many Democrats are moving away from her so as not to be associated with her and her ever changing story about what she knew and when.
The Republicans are all over this and Congressman Steve King (R-IA) has called for Pelosi to resign as Speaker. The hits just keep on coming for the clueless Pelosi.
As of now there are no Democrats publicly calling for her to step down but I am sure there are plenty who want her to. Many did not support her being selected as Speaker and those who did are now seeing why it was a bad idea.
If this keeps going (and there is no reason to think it will not) then there will be more calls for her resignation. Pelosi is a black eye for the Democrats and for Congress in general. The media are going after this story which in and of itself is unusual. Once they turn against a Democrat the end cannot be far behind.
If we are lucky she will resign and then be voted out of office.
What a disgrace.

“As of now there are no Democrats publicly calling for her to step down but …”
Pelosi has a 48% approval with 17% undecided in recent polling. Considering she won 72% of the vote last time out I’d say the likelihood of Pelosi stepping down, much less being defeated next time up is just fantasy. Michael Steel is much more likely to be resign in shame or be forced out long before Pelosi steps down for what Republicans think she has done wrong.
But the Republicans can keep on making statements calling for folks to resign. Your party is all hotair right now anyway. The biggest item on their agenda is apparently rebranding the Democratic Party the “Democrat Socialist Party.” Right, OK. Keep it coming…

It is not rebranding nor is it name calling–it is simply calling a spade a spade finally. It is the Democrats who are trying to brand the Republican party as the party of no–what a joke. Hell yeah – we’re the party of NO
NO NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE!
NO NATIONALIZED BANKS!
NO NATIONALIZED AUTO COMPANIES!
NO TERRORISTS ON AMERICAN SOIL!
NO ILLEGAL ALIENS!
NO CAP AND TRADE!
NO CARBON RESTRICTIONS!
NO NANNY STATE!
NO PUNITIVE TAXES.
And no f&%#* Pelosi.

I bet Pelosi does not have a 48% approval in the Congress among Democrats (if they did the poll secretly). The stepping down is only as Speaker and this will be from members of Congress.
As Speaker she represents the NATION and not just San Fran so the NATION has a right to call for her to step down. She DOES NOT have a 48% approval across the country and would not get 72% in any other area. San Fran is full of flaming liberals (and other flamers) and they vote for her. The rest of the country is more NORMAL than that.
Adam- she has a 48% approval rating, but she got 72% of the vote? Doesn’t that suggest she is falling like a stone? I mean, I can understand the undecided- they are the ones who visited the medical marijuana store, and are now standing in front of an open fridge, driving Al Gore nuts with all the energy- wasting.
As for resigning, no- I think she’s too damn funny, and a blot on your side; I hope she stays, for she just proves the conservative argument every time she opens her over- medicated mouth.
Your dedication to party is admirable but ill advised. GOP under Bush was a disaster, McCain without Palin would have been a hope. Dems under Obama, Biden and Pelosi are digging a hole that we will never shovel back in. Using tax dollars to continue the ecomomic wreck Bush/Cheney started and saying the spending will pay for itself with increased tax revenues! Uh note to all, unemployed people and bankrupt businesses don’t pay taxes! Green energy production is not profitable without TAX CREDITS and EXEMPTIONS, they don’t pay taxes!
McCain said ‘waterboarding was torture, shouldn’t have happened, stop it, move on. Pelosi ‘shut up’! Dem’s you have the reins stop campaigning and start governing. Let the Banks, Auto’s, everyone else that’s in trouble, go under someone will pick them up for cents on the dollar and keep on going.
The American people are doing the right thing, stop borrowing, start saving, cut out the frills.
Oh and you can’t negotate peace and love with a people that still fight clan wars like the Hatfields and McCoys (no insult intended). Still need a big stick (military capability) to keep thing semi peaceful. Hope my daughter can still enjoy the benfits of electric lights, running water and not have to wear a veil!
She will never have to wear a veil, as long as I have a breath in my body, and ammo in my gun- the electricity and running water is another problem entirely, and not yet solvable yet. Perhaps when we get this pesky tenth amendment situation explained to Skinny B in no uncertain terms—–
March 13th, before this all happened.
Keep it up Adam. You are so blind and so full of Kool Aid that you cannot even say that Pelosi LIED. You cannot say she used the EITs as political fodder and that she knew. You can’t force yourself to say that she was wrong.
You can say what you want about Republicans but when one of ours does something wrong WE call for their resignation. WE want them out and WE want them punished.
You guys circle the wagon and defend the wrong doing.
Your ideology is so flawed that you people think whatever your party does is OK and that wrong doing should not be addressed if your people do it.
Shame on you Adam. I thought you had better morals than that.
The is still Feinstein, and that quack-lawyer The Breck Girl who sued hospitals that did no wrong to make his fortune, and there is Din-M and Dunk ’em still to face his day in court and eternity in Hell for what he did.
Yep, the Democrats have a lot of house to clean. They better start with pointing the finger at the Republicans. That is always good to distract the Adam’s…I mean the lemmings for liberl Democrat’s core and foundational problems.
What possibly makes you think Adam even knows what a moral is?
If he did, he wouldn’t be a liberal. It isn’t just a suspicion, it is called, “The I.D. of the Perp.”
One can be a liberal OR one can have morals, but not both.
Shame on me? Cry me a river. I don’t have to answer about whether Pelosi lied or not but I will continue to point out how often your own distaste for all things Democratic taints your view of realty.
Just keep on dreaming enough though and maybe some of your fantasies will actually come true and you can say you told me so.
Adam, I have been able to say I told you so on a number of occasions. You of course, are too Kool Aid intoxicated to realize it or to acknowledge it. You would defend a liberal if he beheaded the Pope on TV but would scream at a conservative who did it.
You can say what you want but I am usually fair in what I say and I have gone after plenty of Republicans who screwed up (at least in my opinion). You have never done that and your claim about not having to answer is typical.
She lied and she continues to lie. She was for water boarding before she was against it and she was more interested in getting Democrats elected than protecting the country or doing her job. All facts that you ignore.
She might get reelected in her district, people in San Fran are stupid. In reality, people are stupid all over the country because they keep putting the same people (from both parties) back in office.
However, that does not negate the fact that Democrats excuse bad behavior among their own. Geithner, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Clinton, Rangel, all of them have done something that you and others have attacked Republicans for.
Where are you now?
At the Kool Aid bar.
Wow Adam- youhave the arrogance to elect Pelosi, and then say you don’t have to answer for her? Isn’t that a little like letting your pit bull dog loose, then claiming the mauling the dog does is not your fault?
I used to be a Democrat, if you want to call me that, I thought some of that agenda had merit. Then I grew up and grew a pair of frontal lobes and could think for myself. The south used to be completely Democratic, and then the Liberals left the true Dems in the dust, in their rush to the left and whacko land.
Personally, I think both parties should be flogged senseless- oops, too late.
This is why I am a conservative, not a Republican, Adam, and while you can use ridicule, as every other liberal does when they run out of good arguments, when you are ready to discuss something, we will listen- we might not agree, but we will listen.
Actually Adam, we are waiting for you to say we told you so.
It is truly amazing that the Liberals keep electing the people they do. Can anybody explain the murderer Ted Kennedy to me?

Money, LC, Money- that is the reason that Teddy halfwit has been elected again and again. If there was justice he’d have been fried for Mary Jo, not to mention the rest of the alcoholic, child- raping clan.
If Ted had killed my daughter or one of the other Slime Ball Kennedys had raped my daughter, they would not have lived very long.
They did not have to go to jail because of their name and money. If they were not found guilty then I am afraid they would have met an untimely demise.
Something else for Adam to consider, is the fact that in the race for Speaker, Pelosi barely won, ahead of Steny Hoyer, who truthfully would have been a better speaker, but with Pelosi there, the bar for that job is laying on the ground- it would not be hard to do better than her- I have a dog that could do that.
