My Parrot will miss crapping on the Times.

Is he pining for the fijords?

That little Ethics Committee has quite a backlog and is going nowhere. Nan has effectively shut it down.

She don’t need no stinking ethics, just ask and she will tell you so.

Ethics? Does Pelosi even know the definition of the word? I ask because, she seems to have such a hard time grasping Catholic doctrine on abortion.

We conservatives are having some affect though as more and more Americans are starting to see that these liberal rags are deliberately not reporting or skewing stories.

Just as they do, we must keep reiterating these things until the truth is as ingrained as the lies they spew.

Maybe at some point, they should get around to investigating Fannie and Freddie Fwank and Dodd.

FIFY.

Trying to understand this is making my brain hurt, but the NYT has done something not loathsome for once.
Far from it, in fact.
They have admonished Speaker Pelosi, clearly and unequivocally, for refusing to push for an ethics inquiry into the PMA Gro…

“It just might take a women to clean the House”

-Nancy Pelosi.

HAHAH, I forgot about that. She should have her nose rubbed in that every. singe. day. Most ethical congress ever my a$$. She doesn’t care what any of these elected morons do, as long as they serve her special interests. Let’s see if she takes any action whatsoever on this. My bet is she pooh poohs it away just like every other deomocrat who has lined their own or someone elses pockets with our tax money.

If John McCain was the leader of the Republican Party, he would have stepped forward and united our people. He is not a leader, therefore he has served no real purpose. The people McCain surrounded himself with through the years have also remained silent for the most part. A leader must emerge from this group if we are to have representation in DC. Right now, we have a very weak opposition.

You are 100% dead on as usual.

The time is perfect but the most effective Republican I have seen so far is Gregg.

He is great, but it is going to take more than him to be effective and provide a strong voice through the MSM filter of democratic activism.

OMGOSH, Baxter, in the time it took me to log in to post, your post appeared and you have taken the words right out of my mouth.

The NYT’s reputation has taken a real beating. This is nothing more than trying to resuscitate their image as the paper of record. Notice how they managed to do this without giving Republicans any credit.

We are united in truth and Freedom!!

(alright….alright,kind of cheesy but being on the same page is a sign of consistency and honesty.)

This is a little off topic but goes straight to the heart of democratic lies and corruption to push their agenda.

The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.
While 90 percent of the guns traced to the U.S. actually originated in the United States, the percent traced to the U.S. is only about 17 percent of the total number of guns reaching Mexico.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/04/02/myth-percent-guns-mexico-fraction-number-claimed/

democrats like Feinstein,Obama,Holder and Hillary have been repeating this lie for weeks trying to use Mexican violence as a way to shred our second amendment rights.

Glad to see it is being exposed in a bigger way.

Here is some corroborating testimony from the ATF on this subject also.

You really know that you have a vast amount of the press in your pocket when you can lie so boldly like this without fear of reprisals.

Turning on each other is not what I’m interested in. Our elected officials need to come together as one, organize and take a principled position against the opposition and the abuses of power we are all witnessing. Our elected officials need to find a leader who has the ability to organize an opposition; this is part of their job description. We have a few who have come forward, we need the entire group to unite as a single voice.

If John McCain was the leader of the Republican Party, he would have stepped forward and united our people. He is not a leader, therefore he has served no real purpose.

I agree. It’s a lot easier to rally around one person, and hopefully that man or woman will emerge soon. But this will take time. It’s only been 2 1/2 months since The One took office.

What’s encouraging is that House GOP is united against Obama’s agenda as is the Senate save for Collins, Snowe, and Specter.

What I’d like to see the GOP start doing is working with the grassroots folks. Rebuild the party from the ground up. Some of the members of Congress attending these tea parties would be a great start.

The NY Times held out as long as it could.
Mickey Kaus (Daily Kos) called Pelosi out on this almost 2 weeks ago.

When hard core liberals start calling out their own constituents,it usually is a sign that guilt is beyond question so they are now trying to look ethical and noble.

Going after Blago was easy for liberals but exposed their typical hypocrisy by giving a pass to the Rangels,Dodds,Barney Franks,and Emanuels(”Freezer”Jefferson had to be voted out,not disciplined by “the most ethical congress evaaaaaa!!!”).

This push by liberal papers,bloggers,and pundits is nothing more than trying to save face by “appearing” to clean up the swamp that democrats live and breath in.

At best, Pelosi will launch an investigation with much fanfare, then never speak of it again. The House has important work to do, don’tcha know. Like voting themselves raises and taxing people who work for a living.

Thanks!

Good points, all…

What’s amazing, is that Republicans don’t exist right now. We have Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, and other mouth pieces doing what Republican elected officials are refusing to do. Take a principled position, offering an alternate vision from that of the big brother Libs, and proudly take that program to the people hard & heavy. Republicans should also be pointing out to the nation, abuses of power by the Libs, corruption, the Piglets refusal to follow through on her promise to bring integrity back to Congress; the list of material is endless right now, and Republicans remain silent. This is really amazing to watch.

Keemo on April 2, 2009 at 10:33 AM

That’s not entirely true. Michelle Bachmann’s been out there attacking Geitner. Bobby Jindal came out recently and encouraged Republicans to hope for the failure of Obama’s policies. Judd Gregg has repeatedly hammered the administration. Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Ryan, and other top GOP congress members have been openly critical of the President.

The problem is the media is either ignoring them or painting them as obstructionists. Bachmann has become public enemy #1 over on MSNBC(which is a badge of honor in some ways).

People need to calm down. The GOP for the most part is in fact fighting this administration and this congress. The problem is they don’t have the votes to stop anything. And the media has no need to even acknowledge their existence until the midterms get closer. It sucks being totally powerless while witnessing our country’s demise from within, but it would be a lot more productive to remain united as conservatives and not turn on each other.

Maybe at some point, they should get around to investigating Fannie and Freddie.

lorien1973 on April 2, 2009 at 10:35 AM

Well, Freddie Mercury is dead…and left a legacy of some great music behind.

As for Fanny…how old is Fanny Fox, the former DC stripper, these days? What’s she done since skinny dipping in the Tidal Basin with Arkansas Democrat Wilbur Mills?

Don’t think the most ethical Speaker, evah, and the most ethical Congress, evah, is going to attempt to stir up the past and do anything about Freddie and Fanny at this late stage of the game.

Maybe at some point, they should get around to investigating Fannie and Freddie.

lorien1973 on April 2, 2009 at 10:35 AM

Doesn’t it make you wonder what the FBI is doing to protect the citizens. What happened to all of the checks & balances that were put in place to protect the citizens from corrupt politicians and corrupt government agencies? How can Sandy Berger steal from a sacred top secret storage facility, and walk away with no consequences? How can Murtha stuff his safe with dirty cash and suffer no consequences. I don’t care if they have an (R) or a (D) next to their name, we have (had) checks & balances in place to deal with these issues, knowing that these issues would certainly be in play.
