Is this what we've come to? The least qualified member of congress as speaker? Out of 300 million Americans, this is the best we can do? The founders must be spinning in their graves.
Josh Richman has obviously NOT heard this news:

Bad news for Democrats.
She comes off almost robotic in her speech pattern, as if every word out of her mouth has been programmed by her staff, and even then she screws it up. I doubt she's ever had an original thought in her head, like so many other liberals. They just spew the talking points.
"maybe she's the one to clean up the mess," Sabato said.
And maybe she ought to go home and do some laundry or vacuum.
Hastert Has To Go
October 09, 2006 10:16 AM EST
He is Representative J. Dennis Hastert, Fourteenth District of Illinois (IL14).
He has to go just as the head of the Catholic whatevers should have been bounced as soon as the priests’ molestation surfaced.
Those who knew and covered up had to go.
The same now with the US Congress and Mark Foley-plus pages scandal.
To whittle away at the power structures that permit these sins is gross in itself. One has to strike the tree at the trunk, not branches by branch. Strike the trunk till the tree falls down. That will give a clear message that those who hold the hatchet mean what they say.
When Catholicism waffles on priests’ molestation, they cancel out their commitment to Christ. Christ said that children were welcomed into His presence during His public ministry on Earth. He said children were "of the kingdom of heaven." He said that persons who abuse children should have weights hung to their necks, then thrown into the sea.
Christ did not play safe with those who mistreated children. Christ in His tough love stated that those who undermine a child need to be held accountable and pay the penalty.
Those in Catholicism played verbal games in order to cover up, protect their own clergy, and further betray those already violated. All this was repulsive to the very One hanging upon every Catholic sanctuary crucifix.
Rome itself should have come out earlier against child molestation by its clergy.
The same can be said for any Protestant institution.
Now to Hastert: he knew. He knew about Foley and did not act swiftly and accurately. Why? Because power plays were in place.
It was the same in Catholicism. Power plays were in place. It took a lot of screaming righteousness to get the Catholic power structure finally to come to the fore in contrition.
Contrition should have been the power structure’s first response, not shielding criminals and accusing those violated of being too sensitive to pain.
To oust Hastert now would be akin to ousting the head of the Catholic power structure — at the very start. Clip Hastert now and give a zero tolerance clear note to the public that what was hidden cannot be tolerated ever again.
It’s not worth having a token political player around Congress — like Hastert. It’s not worth undercutting Congressional ethics by blaming everyone but those who knew and slimed over the facts.
Get rid of Hastert. Get rid of those close to him who knew. Get rid of those miles away from him who knew.

LOL: Yes she already has hair on her chest.
"The list of DUmmie potential Chairmen is very scary."
Indeed it is. But take heart..I don't buy this garbage that bajillions of GOP voters are going to sit out the election and allow the rats to take control. I just don't buy it.
Why else would the rats be putting out stories about "voting machine failure" in many states?
She is probably tired after spending all those hours in the mornings putting all that batter and other gook on her face.
That is time consuming and can wear a poor old soul out.
Once she has completed that task, her get up and go has already left the building.
She's bright enough to be dangerous.
Has anyone talked to any person who is not going to vote because of Foley?
Where do they get this idea??? Even the NYT couldn't find evidence of it, yet they keep repeating it as if it's a given.
Evangelicals stand by Republicans
NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Evangelical Christians in southeastern Virginia said they have not been discouraged from voting Republican by the Rep. Mark Foley pages scandal.
The Christian voters, interviewed by The New York Times, said the Florida Republican's sexually explicit messages to teenage male pages were the result of his own personal morality and institutionalized corruption.
"This is Foley's lifestyle," said Ron Gwaltney, a home builder, interviewed outside a Christian rock concert in Norfolk. "He tried to keep it quiet from his family and his voters. He is responsible for what he did. He is paying a price for what he did. I am not sure how much farther it needs to go."
The Democratic Party is "the party that is tolerant of, maybe more so than Republicans, that lifestyle," Gwaltney told the Times, referring to homosexuality.
However, some in the same concert-going crowd said the revelations about Foley have raised concerns about his party.
"The Republicans need to tighten up their ship," said Wade Crane, a Republican-leaning voter who told the newspaper he has soured on the party in recent months. "They need to stop covering themselves, using their power to protect themselves."

"no moral blemishes"?
How about marching with NAMBLA in the queer parades?
Naincie is pure scum!
Nancy Pelosi/National Crisis = Kathleen Blanco/Hurricane Katrina
We are going to hear this BS steady from the MSM from here to election day.
ALL BULLSH*T.........ALL THE TIME!
AMEN. Thank you for that post!
If the RNC made that into an ad and ran it night and day until Election Day, we'd have nothing to worry about.
I think if somehow the 'rats take the house, Nancy will be pushed aside. It'll be a relative unknown and the 'rats will do an extreme makeover. Dean and Reid will also be gone.
Oh God where's my pepto bismal?
