In Verse, Huckabee Calls for Pelosi to Resign

By

The Arkansas governor-cum-TV host’s poem “Fancy Nancy” gets at how rote the Republican calls for the Speaker of the House to step down are becoming. Huckabee calls for Pelosi to “resign and get out of here.”

If forced to believe whether the CIA and her colleagues in Congress are lying;
Or it’s Speaker Pelosi whose credibility and career is dying.
I believe in the integrity of the men and women who sacrifice to keep us safe;
Not the woman who has been caught flat-footed, lying to our face.

For what it’s worth, a Rasmussen poll on the issue finds a slight plurality of Americans—43 percent to 41 percent—willing to believe that the CIA lied to Congress in 2002. The politics here are not as clear as they look to the political class and to Republicans, who are behaving as if Pelosi is really on the ropes.

Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House and with that designation, stands to be the president of the United States if something were to happen to Obama and Biden. Now that's one scary thought. Congress should demand the immediate resignation of Pelosi. The new Speaker of the House hopefully will be a person of integrity with the highest of moral standards, capable of leading our government, should the need arise.

I am so sick and tired of the lies and then the spin to explain away the lies. I want every politition questioned no by the press, but by the FBI. Then when they lie we can put them in prison like Martha Stewart.

It is another sad day in America when we accept the lying of our Speaker of the House regarding our CIA as appropriate behavior. How are Americans, or anyone else for that matter, supposed to take seriously the leadership of our nation when we allow this behavior to continue without consequences. I'll bet CA. votes her back in !! Pitiful. We must get to a place where we have higher expectations for our elected officials and if they can't live up to that, then vote someone in office who will.

Pelosi is exactly what our Founders warned about time and again. A lifelong Gov-nocrat with no skills in anything except coddling public affection and peddling power. She will throw any American under the bus to save her own skin. She points the finger of blame in any direction to deflect her own guilt.

Way to vote America, we're getting exactly what we deserve from this pack of dogs.
