Pelosi Post 11/02

Posted in Politics on November 16th, 2010

The soon-to-be former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi was one of President Obama’s most feared and savage myrmidons. She was, and may well still be to some extent, a brutal, authoritarian leader for the Liberals who had insinuated themselves into the US House of Representatives. No one single person did so much or sunk so low as Nancy Pelosi did to further Obama’s and the Liberals’ Statist, neo-Socialist fever dreams.

It is not then surprising that Nancy Pelosi was also the biggest loser in the 2010 Congressional Mid-Term Elections. She’s losing the office of House Speaker and she’s seemed to have lost the confidence of the surviving House Democrats.

Of course Pelosi’s delusions know few, if any, bounds are are likely not amenable to conventional therapy. I doubt that she’ll quietly slink off into that dark night of obscurity. She’s not possessed of such basic grace, and she may be looking to get some “pay back” against the Obama Regime, who she no doubts holds responsible for her own failure,

A Tattered Cloth

Posted in Politics on November 14th, 2010

Obama Gump - Stupid Is As Stupid DoesRemember Obama’s and his Liberal coterie’s “signature” achievement, ObamaCare? You know, the one that they ran away from in droves during the 2010 elections, the one that Americans rejected categorically, utterly, and vocally. As expected, it was born a failure and has been shown to be woven of a tattered cloth made up of lies and special “exemptions” for Liberal-favored organizations.

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid crafted an abomination in their attempt at a Reconstruction of the American health insurance industry and a quasi-nationalization of 1/6 of America’s economy and imposed by unconstitutional and treasonous means upon we, the People of the United States of America – and it has already failed.

Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services, led by the infanticidal maniac, Kathleen Sebelius, has already issued 111 waivers or exemptions, representing over 1,175,000 policyholders, just from the restrictions on the imposition of annual limits on the dollar value of health benefits.

If they hadn’t issued these exemptions those 1,175,000 currently issued, if by some standards under-insured, people – mostly lower income and minorities who make up the Democrats’ voting base – would have lost their coverage completely.

In the words of Winston Groom’s and Eric Roth’s character, Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Those words aptly and succinctly sum up Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and their anti-American cabal of Liberals who are so hell-bent on destroying the intrinsic fabric of America that they can’t even be bothered to read to legislative vehicle which they sought to use to do so.

Obama - Open Wider Or It's Going Up Your Ass

In some ways it’s to America’s benefit that our domestic enemies are this stupid, but such gross stupidity by those in some form of power has the real capacity of causing dire harm to the men, women, and children of our nation in failure as well as in success.

We Americans must do what we can to ensure that our politicians are stringently forced to adhere to their commitment to repeal what parts of ObamaCare that can be repeal and to defund the remaining portions of this abomination.

Blues’ House Divided?

Posted in 2010 Election, 2012 Election, Politics on November 4th, 2010

There has been grumblings from within the Beltway for some time but the last couple of weeks leading up to the 2010 Congressional Mid-term Elections saw a sharp increase in behind the scenes rancor between Congressional Democrats and President Obama’s White House, and some dissension within the Congressional Democrats themselves.

Is the the Blues’ house divided in the wake of their trouncing by the GOP on November 2, 2010? There are some indication that this so and some hints that the surviving Dems are separating into two camps – the Clinton Democrats and the Obama Democrats.

A War in the Brewing? Two Dem Parties? Obama Democrats vs. Clinton Democrats
Internecine War Afoot Soon? Clinton Dems v. Obama Dems?

Word on the street (K Street) and scuttlebutt at the Capital Grille is that there might be a Primary Challenge against Obama. Some of those rumors point to a sudden increase in communications between Secretary of State Clinton and outgoing House Speaker Pelosi as the basis for substantiating this idea.

No, none of this has any online sources. It is a mixture of rumor, hearsay, extrapolation upon past and present behaviors by the principals involved, and some basic sociodynamics.

Take it for what it’s worth and no more, but also no less. I did break / predict Sen. McCain’s “choosing” Governor Sara Palin as his VP candidate and running mate a full week before the official announcement after all. ;-)

It might get even worse for President Obama than being challenged in the Democratic Primary. Obama is wounded and weak, politically speaking, and there are always scandals and such that could be used to bring him down. If the Dems are split as rumor claims, the Clinton Dems – possibly including Pelosi – might aid the GOP’s expected attacks against Obama and not even block Impeachment proceedings.

Think about it for a moment. Pelosi weakens Obama enough so that Clinton can beat him in a Primary Challenge, then Clinton nominates Pelosi as her VP candidate.

One thing to watch for is whether or not Pelosi resigns from the House entirely and, if so, how she goes about it. Another is what Hillary Clinton is doing and how she presents herself to foreign governments, as principal actor or as Obama’s puppet.

Is the the Blues’ house divided? I think we’ll pretty much know the answer to that by Christmas.
