“Let’s hear it for the power!” – Pelosi’s exclamation upon taking the Speaker’s gavel.

Devil worship, probably.

Indeed. We cannot allow this activity to stand.

Follow-up comment…have you noticed that Democrats inappropriately use the term “Swiftboated” whereas Republicans appropriately use the term “Borked”?

According to William Safire in The New York Times, the verb to bork is defined as “attack viciously a candidate or appointee, especially by misrepresentation in the media.”

…she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.

Remember who the “she” mentioned here is?

Hint: She is running for President, and just happened to speak the word “assassinated” today.

Does anyone know the process for recall of an incompetent legislator?

Catch them with an underage intern, catch them tapping their foot in a bathroom stall, that’s about it.
Drugs, suspect land deals, funneling projects to your husbands businesses, running your apartment as a gay “fun” house, stealing money and hiding it in a freezer, changing bills after they are voted on, doesn’t seem to work.

Wow… just wow…

Suppositoritist. They are thinking with their heads up their %^^.

The recent rash of this malady are manifested in illogical thought patterns, a misguided sense of superiority, opening their mouths to change feet, and more important thinking they really make a difference.

Someone asked for a Pelosi, Super Genius photoshop. Here’s a quick one.

I love it! Thanks.

673-page bill

It seems part of proper conduct of the office of the Presidency to veto any bill that one can’t read and consider thoughtfully, along with one’s Cabinet, over the course of ten days. Nor do I care that such a stipulation departs entirely from contemporary custom, for contemporary legislative customs seem largely to depart from good practices.

Call me when you guys are ready to move past your empty internet outrage. I am more interested in what the FOX sexpert has to say…

Christ what a waste of time.

Why don’t we start a drive on the blogs, radio, e-mail, to pressure the conservatives to vote against the bill in the upcoming round? (similar to the immigration drive last year)

I already called my representative’s office this morning to voice my displeasure after I saw that he had voted “yes” on the original. Normally, he votes conservatively. Who is to say what motivated him.

Rep. Boehner said on a radio interview that many of the Republicans who voted “Yes” were doing so because of urgings from their rural constituents.

These costly bills should not be allowed to have unrelated items attached nor should committee items be dropped in as add-ons.

This tool Nunez sounds like the other champion of Hope and Change, Mass. Governor Cadillac Duval Patrick who has been to busy promoting his new book to recognize the collapse of the Commonwealths finances, any fiscal responsibility/accountability by the democrat legislature is non-existent, spend – spend – spend. Folks whom get weak kneed over Obama should take a look at Patrick, he’s a total and complete failure…just words indeed!

Núñez, who is termed out of the Assembly in December, lashed out Saturday during an interview on Spanish-language television.

The Los Angeles Democrat said he has no regrets over his spending of campaign funds, despite controversy over tens of thousands of dollars spent on high-priced hotels, wine, gifts and other purchases.

“Everyone’s done it like this,” Núñez said of previous legislative leaders. “The difference is there are some in politics who want to judge me in a certain manner.

“Because of the fact I am Mexican, they think I have to sleep under a cactus and eat from taco stands.”

Núñez’s spending included more than $47,000 in plane fare, more than $5,000 at a wine cellar in France, and more than $2,500 for “office expenses” at Vuitton, the Los Angeles Times reported last October.

In the interview on Univision’s Voz y Voto program, Núñez defended in Spanish his accommodations in fine hotels overseas.

“What’s a luxury hotel? A stay at a Sheraton? … I am, you could say, like a head of state. I’m the leader of the Assembly of the state of California. Where am I supposed to sleep?”

Núñez’s spending became a target last year in the campaign against Proposition 93, which would have altered term limits and allowed him to serve as Assembly leader an extra six years.

“The only thing that really results out of this is that groups that don’t like Latinos use this as a weapon to inflame anti-Mexican, anti-Latino politics,” he said.

Hector Barajas, communications director of the California Republican Party, called Núñez’s racial comments disgraceful and disheartening.

“Questioning someone’s expenses, especially when they’re in public office, is something the public should do,” he said.

Kevin Spillane, a GOP strategist who ran the campaign against Proposition 93, noted that the campaign also accused President Pro Tem Don Perata, who is white, of political corruption.

“Political corruption is colorblind,” Spillane said.

Steve Maviglio, who served as Núñez’s spokesman, said the speaker was justified in feeling that some people exploited controversy over his spending for racial purposes.

“You cannot deny there’s some overtly racial overtones to this,” Maviglio said.

Well, break out the popcorn, I’m sure that McCain will be here soon to once again demonstrate what a jacka** he is.

There would be a huge Republican landslide throwing these Obama, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy, McDermott, Murtha type jerks out of office and into the septic tank of history.

But when the Republicans, with very few exceptions, can’t do any better than offer mediocre Mediocrats™ (or worse) in opposition to this kind of unconstitutional idiocy, the downward spiral into third world kleptocracy will only accelerate.

There should be a test: Political candidates for any national office should have to pass an in-depth written and oral exam given by Justices Alito, Roberts and Thomas, proving that they have read and understand the Constitution.

I weep for this once great nation.
