I get what you’r saying Mike emotionally. Yet, strategically, it’s much better to call for investigations, commissions, or whatever, and have some fun with this public relations wise. The simple reality is we need her to stay up there to be the face of the Democrat party. She is a massive inconvenience to them and a boon to our efforts in 2010.

I think that those outside the GOP leadership are playing this right, create a headache in the media and call for her resignation. Meanwhile, those in the GOP leadership can continue to call attention to the need of an investigation into Pelosi and the CIA to prove “who is lying” and make “Parriah Pelosi” the face of every democrat effort (i.e., if you can’t trust her on matters of national security, how can you trust her on _________?)

The republians should stand on principle and make hay out of this, but they are and should be politically smart about it as well.

Heck, she may eventually have to resign her spot in leadership, but let’s drag this out a bit longer, please – namely until November 2010.

One has.

I want to see the Dem controlled Congress burnt to the ground and starting with their leader Pelosi would be a very good start.
How many softballs do the Repubs have to get before they take a swing?
It’s getting embarrassing.

Unfortunately, he’s retired and busy trying to keep our foreign policy from turning into a capitulation convention.

What, do they all think they’re too sophisticated for a good fight?

You’re absolutely right Mike. The leadership will have to come from the bottom up.

I’ve been making my calls to my reps. They certainly know how I feel about the situation.

.

Both in terms of getting rid of the RINOs and the locked-in hard lefties, I’m more convinced every day that term limits are needed. “Democrat light” is a losing formula for election victory, as well as a detriment to the country as a whole.

coz they’re also hiding skeletons in their own closets.

The entire Congress has become a MAFIA:

TOLERANCE (See No Evil, Hear No Evil) for the sake of protecting their own personal interests.

Or maybe I’m wrong. They are just really that coward.

that the Clintons obtained, and hid in Hillary’s office? During the Craig Livingstone/Filegate controversy. For those who forget:

I often wondered if they didn’t get their hands on dirt to blackmail our guys. “Play ball, or else.”

But if they’re choosing to wait, to pick battles they know they can win, the war will be over without a shot being fired.

The One continues to turn our capitalistic system into a Marxist one on a daily basis…bankruptcy law has been turned on it’s head to satiate the unions forever raising the cost of capital…the WOT is being eviscerated… the American Dream is about to be extinguished by the lunacy of Cap & Trade… and our ‘leaders’ are on……..a listening tour!

Sigh!

Thanks for giving voice to the frustration of many, GC.

Boy, have I been schooled about the difference on this site. The Republican party, which is the only viable operational arm conservatives have right now needs to listen to conservatives.

I think you guys are making an important step in distinguishing conservative vs republican. Maybe all elected republican should run the Redstate gauntlet to earn their conservative cred.

they are just showing their disdain to left-wing elites.

Maybe they just aren’t poll-driven.

Maybe they are so cerebral that they’re just doing their jobs and are above politics.

Maybe they just don’t care about image.

Maybe they are just being gracious.

Maybe they’re worried about Democratic sedition if they challenge Pelosi on this.

Maybe they are leaving it to “history” to make the final verdict on all of this.

Or maybe they saw GWB do the exact same thing for 8 years and get lavished with praise from legions of conservatives, and are just a little confused when something more is suddenly expected from them.

the GOP unleadership is still buying Obambi’s high personal poll numbers as an endorsement of the Dem party. They don’t realize that O’s support is a mile wide and an inch deep. Remember all of the Rep’s who were “shocked, just shocked” when Reagan called the Soviets the “Evil Empire”. But it was his willingness to step out and call a spade a spade that started the end of the cold war. Same deal here, if these spineless wimps would just show some guts, they could win this war for preservation of our nation!

While I agree with some who say leaving her there as the face of the Democratic Party is good for the GOP, for me it has gone beyond the politics of the matter. To accuse the men and women of America who do their best to protect this country of being criminals, is reason enough to step down from public service altogether much less the Speaker position. The same could have been said for Reid declaring the war lost and Murtha calling our soldiers murderers. I would feel the same way regardless of the R or D behind the name. I think there are plenty of good candidates to designate as the face of the Dems (my favorite being Barney Frank).
By not calling her out on it, they are indeed condoning it.
