Her machinations since Democrats took over the U.S. House in
January 2007 show that Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't scared of the
Republicans - "her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is
matched only by her incompetence in leading Congress." Pelosi and
her leadership clique have never had the slightest intention of
seriously opposing George Bush, since they are quite content with a
status quo of endless war, half of New Orleans abandoned, true
universal health care on perpetual hold, and a growing police
state. Every constituency of the Democratic Party has been
betrayed, with the complicity of Pelosi and her crowd. And there
must be pay-back for back-stabbing.
"If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they'd be
arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across
their chest, it's the First Amendment." - Nancy Pelosi
The Democratic Speaker of the House would like to arrest activists
for loitering. Her Quisling like behavior has led protesters to her
front door in San Francisco, but she has only herself to blame for
the inconveniences she and her rich neighbors now suffer. The great
unwashed masses have a right to assemble at her home, her office,
or anywhere else they choose in order to exercise what is left of
their right to speak freely. Her own words show her level of
contempt for the democratic process.
It is clear that Nancy Pelosi's reign as Speaker has been an
absolute disaster for the Democratic party and for the entire
nation. Her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is matched
only by her incompetence in leading Congress. Under her watch,
Congress gave Alberto Gonzales, on his way to riding out of town on
a rail, a significant victory by expanding FISA regulations to
allow warrantless surveillance of American citizens.
"Her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is matched only by
her incompetence in leading Congress."
The story of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act debacle has
been blamed on Bush. It is true that he once again lied about a
terror threat, but it is not true that Pelosi and the rest of the
Democrats were innocently stampeded. The Democrats had every
intention of caving from the very beginning.
Pelosi and the rest of the leadership promised the ACLU and other
civil liberties groups that they wouldn't pass a bill without first
investigating the extent of White House lawbreaking and without
consulting them first. They did no such thing.
As an ACLU lobbyist put it, "They turned around and f***ed us over,
and the Constitution, all at once."
Disappointment in the Democrats, pleas to "grow a spine" miss the
point entirely. Pelosi and her clique have no interest in
Democracy. They go through the flimsiest pretense of opposing Bush
when they have no interest in doing so. Her goal is to preserve
the status quo, not to overturn it.
Nancy Pelosi now has stated publicly what she thinks of us, the
citizens of this country. We are an irritant to be tolerated, not
people with rights that must be respected.
Pelosi is an omen, a warning that acceptance of Democratic Party
actions is the first step on the road to political hell. It is a
lesson that must be learned now, before President Hillary Clinton
takes office.
"They go through the flimsiest pretense of opposing Bush when they
have no interest in doing so."
The fix is definitely in for Clinton to win the Democratic party
nomination. The Democratic candidates' fundraising prowess versus
Republicans is a sign that the big money political donors of both
parties are all betting on the Democratic horse.
Clinton's ascension to the throne now reserved for family dynasties
should not be accepted as an absolute victory. The "middle of the
road" after Bush is still right wing. Triangulation this time
around means more war, New Orleans destroyed and deserted, and more
dirty dealings in Congress.
Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of what passes for Congressional
leadership have perfected their criminal enterprise. Every act of
treachery is followed by lame excuses for inaction. The truly
spineless ones, progressives wallowing in denial, foolishly whine,
asking each other what is wrong when the answer stares them in the
face. The Democratic party is complicit in killing democracy.
"Civil liberties groups and antiwar groups must finally realize
that they can only play a role in movement politics."
Activists must keep protesting at her house and working for her
defeat in the 2008 congressional elections. They must also cease
cooperating with her. The farce must end before it is too late.
Pelosi, like Bush, has no loyalty to her constitutionally based
responsibilities. She must no longer be treated as though she is a
friend when she has proven herself to be an enemy.
Civil liberties groups and antiwar groups must stop meeting with
Pelosi or her staff. They must finally realize that they can only
play a role in movement politics. It is said that insanity is
defined as repeating the same action over and over yet expecting a
different result. Progressives have waged many righteous battles in
the last seven years, but they are about to go down in history as
insane actors in a badly written play.
Activists must begin making demands. They must demand impeachment,
they must demand that New Orleans be rebuilt, they must demand no
further funding for occupation in Iraq or for a new war in Iran.
Pelosi and her co-conspirators must be called out as the
backstabbers that they are. Only then will democracy have any
chance of being restored.
