Pelosi Announces She’s Corrupt and a Liar:
Another Lying Corrupt Speaker We Don’t Need

By declaring “impeachment is off the table,” Nancy Pelosi announced to the world she’s corrupt and a liar, of little difference from the disgraced Republican Speakers of the House and the Bush administration. She’s a liar because she took an oath of office that swore her to “uphold and defend the Constitution,” which by not pursuing impeachment means she doesn’t intend to defend the Constitution by upholding the law. This in turn leads to her corruption, as she is essentially protecting an provably corrupt executive and thus becomes corrupt herself. Do we really want an admittedly corrupt liar as the House Speaker again?

The Speaker We The People deserve must be as tenacious as the US Marshal in the film The Fugitive by insuring that executive branch impunity is finally disciplined to the fullest extent of the law--we have several million people in prison whose crimes aren’t nearly as heinous as those committed by people in and out of the Bush administration. Indeed, one of the main reasons Cheney and Bush thought they could get away with their crimes is because of previous impunity “enjoyed” by prior administrations that ought to be disciplined as well. This is at its foundation a Law & Order issue, not political. Members of Congress are supposed to be the primary officers of the law, which is why they are given the power to enact law. If they refuse to enforce the law or look the other way as is often the case, then they are corrupt and liars, and essentially guilty of treason, for their acts debase and fundamentally weaken the country. Historians like myself who dig into the past behavior of our Empire know that this must come to a halt NOW for it has gone on far too long.

Even if Pelosi changes her position, could we trust such a person? I say NO! We also must be wary of Congressman Murtha, who is on record as saying we should have invaded Iran instead of Iraq! [http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/15817001.htm] Given the criminal Iraq debacle, imagine how badly that would have turned out--and still might unless we literally shackle the current administration by applying the law so we can arrive at some semblance of order.

There is one Congressman who has proven himself to be tireless in his pursuit of executive malfeasance--Henry Waxman. He would make a great Speaker for the People. Doing the right thing--applying and enforcing the law--would by itself constitute a revolution of sorts; and given the great disconnect between Washington D.C. and the rest of the country on almost every issue, it’s a revolution the great majority of People will welcome.
