This is another great example of the left focusing on control of the debate. A two flank attack by the socialists; Pelousy and her cabal of political concubines whining about participating only on an equal footing with the majority party, while Zero and the 0bamunists at the White Hut hammer away at the pubbies for fielding ‘yet another false conspiracy theory’.

Gowdy nailed it on FoxNews, this AM. The Speaker will constitute the committee membership. Now, if Boner has the stones, he’ll push right back at the leftists. The majority holds majority seats on most all committees of the Congress, with the pubbies controlling the House, and the dhimmicraps holding the Senate.
This is a House Committee, so it should (rightly) be comprised of a majority of the right, and a minority of the left.
If Pelousy doesn’t want to play, then Boner should trot out Gowdy to lay waste to the left’s arguments and then forge ahead. Let the world know that the dhimmicraps are welcome to tag along, but they won’t be the millstone around the necks of the folks seeking to get to the bottom of this scandal.

My hope is that the Rats indeed boycott so we can watch the mainstream media figure out how to not report the special committee actions.

She is a true sleazeball. in “her” house of representatives, freshmen congressmen weren’t allowed to enter new legislation without her approval.

Then in the next election the democrats ran against those freshmen by declaring that they didn’t even introduce any legislation.

I would allow no less than a 2:1 Repub to Rat ratio because you know that the only reason the Rats would be on it would be to run interference for Obama/Hillary.

Stay home Nancy and you will have to read the report to find out what is in it.

Paraphrasing her party’s favorite quote: we won, you can take part but you don’t get to make any decisions.

Worthless POS.

Just be taking the 50-50 approach, Pelousy signals loudly that the ‘Rat game plan is partisan in nature.

As a former speaker, she knows she won’t ever get 50-50 on this, so whether ‘Rats participate or not, this ‘Rat “requirement” is just the first partisan volley in the War on the Republic that they wage.

Nazi Pelosi said they would pass Obamacare even if it costs their jobs. The only way they lose their job is to be voted out. Cramming a law down people’s throats when the majority is against it is fascism.

Only allow 2 demoncraps on the committee, one to pour coffee and one to serve snacks and sandwiches.

I nominate Elisha Cummings to do the serving.

Equal? The Republicans should change the LOCKS on the doors. Remember that, Bitch?
They could allow Pelosi to serve the coffee, then when going for more creamer
lock the doors behind her and say it was partisan. Remember that, Bitch?


Sorry for my crudeness but Pelosi was the wicked witch with the gavel, and flaunted her Bitchness
while being proud to be the Bully.

Here is Pelosi in all her flaunting hubris!


Her only goal here is to disrupt, leak, and Lie to make hay out of serious business.

I for one don’t want fair. I want just.

Letting the fox have equal standing with the farmer may be fair but its not just for the chickens.

She admits it’s all about politics to Democrats.

This is just a ploy to give her an excuse for boycotting it as partisan and not fair.

The very obvious dilemma is not in the least apparent to Nanacy Pelosi. The best she seems to be looking for is a total party-line deadlock, in which the Democrat figures all filibuster the proceedings by asking endless and totally pointless questions of the witnesses, and raise endless objections to wherever the Republican members choose to direct their inquiry.

But she is unlikely to get many volunteers to take on this rather formidable task. Elijah Cummings and Maxine Waters cannot be EVERYWHERE.

If she wasn’t so busy trying to make money off the American taxpayers, she could have paid more attention to Benghazi. She’s just another squalling Fat Cat Democrat.
