first they had to drain the swamp is what I just heard Nancy say

[madokie]

c-span 1 now

[bdamomma]

1. drain the swamp??? when?

[C_U_L8R]

3. exactly... I wanna see some pumpin'

enough with the metaphors... drain it.

[madokie]

4. she said first we had to drain the swamp

can't remember the rest because I was busy picking my lower jaw up from the floor to concentrate on what she was saying :rofl:

[hatrack]

2. Hard to do when the alligators keep snapping the shovels out of your hands . . .

Maybe she should call Roto-Rooter - or Jeff Corwin.

[partylessinOhio]

5. What has she been drinking? My first thought was you are the swamp,

Madame Minnie Mouse Squeaker! She seems more flustered than normal this morning. Does she have a problem?

Not a word about impeachment - not much about the war either.

She has "more arrows in her quiver and is sharpening them.":rofl:

Step down and let the congress ROAR!

(Now, she is handing it off to Steny because she cannot answer the reporter's question!)

6. Madame Minnie Mouse?

I should think Speaker Pelosi would merit more respect than that.

8. Where I come from respect is earned.

Kinda like pay raises.

I am tired of talk. Start walking, Nancy.

[bryant69]

10. Well she's certainly earned my respect

I haven't always agreed with her, but I respect her.

Maybe you should study Speaker Pelosi a bit more - perhaps you are not as informed on her work and accomplishments as you should be.

23. Right now, PAST accomplishments don't mean diddly-squat. What she does NOW

and in the future is what matters. Ask your lovely Madame Squeaker why she waited until AFTER SHE WAS ELECTED to take impeachment off the table.

Wait... I'll TELL you why. Because she KNEW SHE WOULD NEVER GET ELECTED had she made it part of her campaign for office. Period...

Another icepick in the back of We, the People...

[bryant69]

25. Icepick in the back?

That's pretty strong language. At any rate I don't agree with that characterization.

24. Self deleted dupe post..

[Hubert Flottz]

13. This distortion of the voice of the people is awful, because

We expected a couple of tweeters to handle all that power that a couple of woofers can.

[NavyDavy]

18. get over it impeachment is not going to happen with out support

from the repukes.....

[madokie]

21. here we go again but if we don't try the message is what they're doing is somehow

not all that bad, that to me is unacceptable :shrug: wouldn't it????? I will worry about a conviction once the trial starts and durn sure not before the evidence is even on the table.
All that is happening now is we're betting on a come, that the bush* cabal will somehow change course, that ain't going to happen

[partylessinOhio]

26. I'm not getting over anything while my country is going down the drain.

If we had strong and proper leaders in both sides of congress, we would have had a very good chance at convincing Republicans to support impeachment. That has been squandered by Pelosi/Reid and I will not stop pointing that out.

P/R are well on the way to causing the loss of the 2000 presidential election and that should concern everyone.

7. You will have a hard time...

draining the swamp while the shrub and the dick have the sump pumps held hostage.

[madokie]

9. apparently

considering the quality of the pumps installed in NO since hurricane Katrina. I've read they are not working as intended

[zabet]

14. We could put...

Coulter to use as a sump pump, that big mouth and empty head ought to be good for something!!!
:rofl:

11. The Drainplug Is In The Court System...

This regime will stonewall...fight any and all investigations...and its assured the only way to "drain this swamp" will be in taking this regime to court and forcing them to comply with the Constitution. It's time to start issuing contempt citations and pushing the legal side here...force booshie, cheney and rove's hand and open the flood gates that will bring up all the scum.

Let's push to drag these asshats in front of judges...put them under oath...make them defend their positions. It's just a contempt citation away... Let's go!!!!

[ellenfl]

16. and would those be the courts that dubya stacked? eom

[madokie]

17. thats why I don't have much hope for the court system taking care of our problems

thats why we need impeachment if one was to ask me.

[KharmaTrain]

19. A Court System That Seen Itself Compromised

It's the system that has people like Pat Fitzgerald and other career prosecutors and judges. boooshie boy has done poorly when he goes up against the Constitution in a federal court...even one stacked with his toadies. Look at all the rulings against him on Gitmo.

I'd rather take my chances with a judge outside the political pressure cooker and easily manipualted by polls and the corporate media vs. some weak-kneed Repugnican in the Senate who thinks lying about a blowjob is worthy of conviction, but abuse of power isn't.

Pick your poison.

[ellenfl]

20. good points. i can only hope we get an honest judge and not

one blinded by jesus.

[KharmaTrain]

22. I've Been Pleasantly Surprised

One judge, Sentelle, was the one who approved all the Ken Starr witch hunts. I read that he was pissed at the DOJ scandal and the arrogance this regime has used in politicizing the justice department. Remember, some of these fired attorneys were good Repugnicans and cut their teeth clerking with many of the judges sitting on the higher courts. Also, while booshie has installed many judges, many more are still sitting from the poppy and Raygun years.

I need to have some hope here...I sure don't have it with the politicans.

Cheers...

:hi:

[ellenfl]

27. thanks. i think you and i think alike - i look for hope as well.

your response has given me some. i hope many bush appointees are as disgusted by him as many old school republicans are.

12. Reminds me of Lisa Simpson's essay

From "Cesspool on the Potomac"

The city of Washington was built on a stagnant swamp some 200 years ago, and very little has changed. It stank then, and it stinks now. Only today, it is the fetid stench of corruption that hangs in the air.

[madokie]

15. and it mixed with the swamp gas it must be misserable there

I'll prolly never smell it for myself though
