Ironic, is it not, that Speaker Nancy who pledged to “lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history” just happens to find herself on Judicial Watch’s “10 Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” List. Yes, Nancy made the list along with her favorite – and favored – cronies.
In case anyone missed Nancy’s deceptive and counterproductive attack on the Bush Administration in September of 2008 before the vote on the bailout, listen to it now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxMInSfanqg
In this speech, Nancy praises the “extraordinary leadership” of Barney Frank, either unaware of (which with Nancy is totally understandable) or lacking knowledge of (ditto) the role Barney had in creating the conditions for the 2008 financial meltdown which had as its catalyst the cesspool of toxic loans that would have never existed were it not for the malfeasance of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (i.e. Congress demanding that standard lending procedures be abandoned in the pursuit of homes for everyone, even those who couldn’t afford them.)
Barney’s right at the top of the list. Judicial Watch calls him out for serious financial corruption, which they clearly describe. But just for fun, google the man for his ethical lapses. It would be funny were he not a US Congressman. Among the google “suggestions” are scandal, pot, bust and prostitute scandal. THIS is Nancy’s Number 1 guy. A model for us all.
All but one on the list are Democrats. John Murtha and Charlie Rangel fill out the top ten. Murtha, Nancy’s choice for majority leader when she became speaker, was a choice the rank and file Dems couldn’t abide. Nancy’s statement that “(His) presence in the leadership of our party would add a knowledgeable and respected voice to our Democratic team," shows her total lack of judgment.
Maybe Nancy will show interest in “draining the swamp” (as she so dramatically put it when she took the reigns of the House) in the new year but … what are the chances? I won’t hold my breath.

"Congressional Democrats could soon have a retirement problem on their hands -- several representatives in vulnerable districts are stepping down ahead of an election year in which the party's incumbents are already threatened by discontent over the economy."
Some analysts are predicting Republicans to pick up as many as 20 seats in the House this cycle. Read more here.
It's going to take a lot of dedicated and excited supporters to help me unseat Nancy Pelosi. Please listen to my audio message about stepping up my support online so that we can send a conservative representative to Washington. I have set a goal to double the number of our Facebook supporters by the end of the year, which is only a few days away! We're getting there, but we need your help.
I believe Nancy Pelosi has led this country in the wrong direction - if you agree, please get involved! This will be a difficult election in which every vote matters, so I am thankful for every new supporter.
Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. Please take a moment to read the final piece of our white paper series that discusses market-based, non-government solutions to health care reform:
Imagine my surprise at hearing of the “attempted act of terrorism” at the Detroit airport on Christmas morning. I left that same airport on a Delta/Northwest flight later Christmas Day. There was no indication of anything out of the ordinary since it seems that our Homeland Security Secretary and our President decided there was no need to change the security threat level.
Not much comfort (forget confidence) when the DHS issued a statement that Secretary Janet Napolitano is “closely monitoring the situation,” and that “passengers may notice additional screening measures.” Get real.
Help me here. The facts: A man who is “in a database for having Al Qaeda connections in Nigeria” but was not put on a no fly list, was able to get a visa to travel to the United States, and who flew out of Nigeria, a country whose airports are known for weak security measures, did not “undergo secondary screening” when boarding a jet to the U.S. And the DHS thinks the answer is to further hassle passengers here? Is this the extent to which political correctness has taken us?
I’ve been pounding Nancy Pelosi about her denial of the threat still posed by Islamic radicals. Apparently that denial is shared by the current administration and the Democratic majority in Congress. The failure in “connecting the dots,” has also been a theme of my criticism. That President Obama was not even notified until three hours after the plane landed certainly raises questions about priorities.
This country was kept safe from further attack by the former administration. We’ve had two in the first year of this one. (Fort Hood, just months ago, and now this.) In both instances, the perpetrators were recognized for their ties to Islamic Jihad. Both cases have links to Yemen. NOTE: A Christmas Eve airstrike in Yemen killed both the advisor to the Fort Hood terrorist and a Gitmo alumnus. Despite attending “jihad rehab”, it seems this former detainee returned to his Al Qaeda roots. Obama, in his infinite wisdom, is planning to return many more Gitmo prisoners to Yemen. Read more here.
It is time this administration recognize that effective security policy and common sense MUST trump political correctness if we are to be kept safe!
A Final Note: It was clear the passengers took action. Our greatest strength is that Americans react to threats better than our leaders do.

Nigel Lawson discusses the shoddy science that has fueled the debate on global warming (Oh! I’m sorry. There IS no debate, according to the IPCC, et al.!) But there is skepticism, a healthy dose, except among those who even after the hacked emails exposing that much of the evidence being presented has been cooked insist, ala Al Gore, that the planet has a fever.
Note: Copenhagen may have its first White Christmas in 14 years, Obama had to get back to DC to beat the blizzard there and road, rail, and airport travel in Europe has been disrupted by winter storms.
But whether or not the world is warming, and whether human activity is really the cause, the question must be: What is a solution to the problem? Apparently, it’s another big bash next year. (Mexico City here we come… )
Let’s consider Mr. Lawson’s solution: Adapt to the temperature changes that arise. And I heartily concur that “counseling” be provided for all who have become dependent on, dare I say addicted to, the drama and spectacle of “conference deprivation.” But they should pay for it with their own dime.
Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday season, even as you finish up last-minute shopping!
Please take a moment to read part 5 of our health care reform white paper series, which discusses rising costs and the constitutionality of overhauling our health care system:
The Senate is debating their version of the health care bill tonight. In the meantime, please look over part two of our health care reform white paper series.
This places the burden of proving why and what change is necessary squarely on the Democrats. Yet they shift it to Republicans. When Republicans say "no" to laws that will nationalize health care, they are pilloried as ignorant, obstructionist slugs. By diverting attention away form the issues and their inability to prove the merit of their ideas, Democrats get away with pretending urgency.
Mike DeNunzio, a California Commissioner on Aging, has written a concise review of many of the flaws in the Health Care Reform bill that Congress is trying to ram through. Although it primarily addresses the concerns of seniors, it also points out the shortcomings of socialized medicine in general and emphasizes the strengths of the U.S. system, especially in regard to our leadership in medical innovation.
Why can’t the mainstream media “connect the dots” the way they are connected here? There is consensus that Health Care reform is necessary. I believe it must be done incrementally; fixing ONLY what needs fixing. And making sure that the measures taken to fix the problems actually work before dismantling what currently exists. That is the thinking behind the Republican bills that have been proposed.
Let’s tell the Senate to “Kill the Bill” that is before it now; it is complicated, confusing and bloated with bureaucracy. Start over. And this time, tell Nancy Pelosi to listen to Republicans, because they will propose measures that build on our current system while working on solutions to the specific problems we face.
Dana recently made an appearance in Idaho, speaking to conservatives gathered to mark the 236th anniversary of Boston Tea Party.
Dana was greeted with a standing ovation.
"Congress doesn't really think your money belongs to you, they think it belongs to them. And now they've reached the point where they want to take your children's money, too."
Thank you for supporting Dana's campaign to unseat Nancy Pelosi! Please help build support by joining Dana on Facebook and inviting your friends and family to do the same. Just visit the page here and click on the "Suggest to Friends" button. We have set a goal of doubling our supporters by the end of 2009. Let's make sure that next year is the year to end Nancy Pelosi's time.
In a Sunday interview, President Obama gave himself a "solid B-plus" on his first year in office. He also said the grade would move up to an A- if health care reform passes.
Dana disagrees with an expensive, government-run health care solution. Read more on Dana's position on health care reform and the bill's dangers here.
