After trashing the President, the administration and the Republican party on the floor of the House yesterday, the Speaker is rethinking her position. She’s decided to play nice:
Dear Mr. President:
Yesterday’s defeat of the Economic Emergency Stabilization Act resulted in additional severe economic impacts both on Wall Street and on Main Street. The consequences of [...]
I’ve got to hand it to those Democrats and Speaker Pelosi. They sure knew how to game this whole issue on the Wall Street bailout.
First, they come out smiling and announcing how they have reached a deal:
House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., center, and
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., left, Secretary of [...]
After calling House Republicans unpatriotic for not attending a meeting they never knew about and then getting on the floor today to make a partisan speech, it seems the “unpatriotic” Republicans joined quite a few of the “unpatriotic” Democrats in opposing the bailout bill. Final vote total: 205-228. Seems the extra dozen votes [...]
While Senator Obama is claiming it was he alone and John McCain had nothing to do with the bailout deal, the Washington Post, no friend of McCain’s, haswritten a piece that gives the inside look of what happened on Thursday in Washington.
When Sen. John McCain made his way to the Capitol office of House Minority [...]
Is civility disappearing totally from government?
Has this financial crisis created an atmosphere so unhealthy that we now have the Speaker of the House referring to Republicans as “unpatriotic” for their not attending a scheduled meeting?
Perhaps she should have conferred with Senator Dodd prior to uttering those words:
More from the House GOP [...]
All emphasis in the following passages are mine but they signify exactly what is wrong with our system today.
Congress under the leadership of the Democrats is far more concerned with upcoming elections than they are the electorate as a whole.
It is a disgrace that once again they choose to abandon their duties in [...]
It’s been a tough couple of days for the Speaker of the House.
Cindy Sheehan has secured the signatures which will qualify her to compete against the Speaker in her upcoming re-election bid.
Now that could be quite interesting to watch. Not that I expect Ms. Sheehan to to a serious threat [...]
Some might call this a political stunt, but I wish it was exactly what we would see more of on a constant basis:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House and turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.
Minority Leader John A. Boehner [...]
In life we all come across arrogant, self-righteous individuals who have difficulty admitting their own shortcomings or errors, but are remarkably quick at passing judgment on others.
People such as those described above can, in many instances, maneuver topics of conversation to their satisfaction and even sway opinions of others.
We expect to come across [...]
Not only did this article produce what I thought was the best lead paragraph of the week:
WASHINGTON — Democrats promised big changes when they took power on Capitol Hill in 2006, and they delivered — when it comes to making over the cafeteria.
but, also my two favorite quotes thus far in a very slow [...]
As a Republican, I resent the latest remarks by Nancy Pelosi:
“They like this war. They want this war to continue,” Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans’ ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.
“We thought that they shared the view of [...]
As a Baptist this article made me chuckle because Baptists joke about committeeing everything to death.
It seems Speaker Pelosi is meeting everything to death.
For the House Republican leadership when it was in the majority, meetings were often a formality. Decisions were made at the top, and after a perfunctory debate, members were informed how they [...]
Speaker Nancy Pelosi was speaking to reporters yesterday, seemingly in a good mood until someone asked her about the anger of the Democratic base over her failure to end the war in Iraq. You know the war, the one that was President Bush’s but is now the war of the Republicans in Congress:
House Speaker [...]
After having said, prior to the August Congressional recess, that the House would vote on a criminal contempt resolution against Harriet Miers and Joshua Bolton the Democratic leadership has come back and said “Not yet.”
Maybe while on recess they realized the hullaballoo about the U.S. Attorneys firings was much ado about nothing, which it is.
This [...]

I’m so proud to live in a country where a smart strong woman can rise to the top and putting Dingell in his place just tickles the heck out of me.
In February, only a month after becoming speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi settled weeks of threats from Rep. John D. Dingell, her blustery Energy [...]
