As for Newt, a picture says a thousand words. This one speaks volumes.

New York Representative Anthony Weiner will seel treatment for e-mailing women. I kid you not.

I don’t like Anthony Weiner, but I thought the attention and calls for his resignation were ridiculous. As I stated before, the only person who should be upset or appalled is his wife.

Let’s step back for a moment: He texted, e-mailed, and sent pictures of himself to adult women. He didn’t assault anyone, steal, or commit any crimes as far as anyone can tell. There are reports that he sent a few messages to a 17 year-old girl, but those messages weren’t graphic at all.

Now, we have Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz calling for his resignation. This is ridiculous. Did they call for Charles Rangel’s resignation? Are they okay with Barney Frank still being a member of Congress?

The only part of the story that really bugs me is Anthony Weiner’s decisions to seek “treatment.” Make a stupid mistake, then seek treatment. When did society start medicalizing stupidity?

Over the years, Nancy Pelosi has been a staunch supporter of abortion rights, gay marriage, and assisted suicide. I tend to disagree with her, but I do agree with her stances on those issues. With that said, I find it hard to believe that someone with these views could present themselves as a devout Catholic. The last time I checked, the Catholic Church was strongly opposed to abortion, assisted suicide, and gay marriage.

I’m trying to figure out if Nancy Pelosi’s inconsistency is due to her ignoring the differences between church doctrine and her voting record in an attempt to be everything to everyone, or is due to a lack of intellect. With Madame Speaker, either one is possible.

“Many of the people appointed in the Bush administration are still burrowed in the agencies that are supposed to oversee the [oil] industry,” Pelosi said when asked if Democrats could have prevented or mitigated the crisis by keeping a closer watch on the industry.

Added the Speaker, “the cozy relationships between the Bush administration’s agency leadership and the industry is clear…I’ve heard no complaints from my members about the way the president has handled it,” Pelosi stated.

So, to summarize, even though Democrats have controlled Congress for nearly four years, Barack Obama has been President for 18 months, and many (or most) of George Bush’s appointees are long gone, he still shares responsibility for what is happening in the Gulf. I have a feeling that a housekeeper in the White House could drop a plate, and somehow, whey would find a way to blame George W. Bush.

Does Nancy Pelosi understand the Constitution?

If you’ve been following the health care debacle in Washington, then you’ve probably heard about how Nancy Pelosi and her henchmen are planning on using “deem and pass” to ram through health care reform. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this procedure, it will allow the House to pass the Senate version of the bill without actually having to vote on it. What if they don’t have the votes? No problem! Of course, this method could very well be ruled unconstitutional. Here’s Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution:

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

Votes should be considered by yeas and nays. I’ve read Article 1, Section 7 several times, and not once did I see deem and pass mentioned. It’s very clear that Representatives are bound by the Constitution to vote for legislation, then have their votes recorded. Failure to do so will undoubtedly result in a legal challenge that will sink the bill.

Barack Obama as The Joker. I'm not laughing.

Washington Times writer Jeffrey Kuhner has an interesting column, where he argues that Barack Obama and his gang of leftists should be impeached. Here is an excerpt from Mr. Kuhner’s column:

Mr. Obama is willing to devour his presidency, his party’s congressional majority and – most disturbing – our democratic institutional safeguards to enact it. He is a reckless ideologue who is willing to sacrifice the country’s stability in pursuit of a socialist utopia.

The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime – a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.

The blatant disdain being shown for the Constitution by Barack Obama and Democratic Congressional leaders is alarming. They show a complete lack of respect for the nation’s ideals, as well as its founding document. The Constitution is being treated like a bump that needs to be driven around, rather than the road to the true betterment of our nation.

I would like nothing better than to see Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Louise Slaughter, and Barack Obama out of a job. With that said, the way to bring about that result is through the midterm elections of 2010, and the Presidential election of 2012. Any talk of impeachment would only complicate matters further.

Barack Hussein Obama and his Congressional puppets will continue to damage this country, and it will leave the majority of Americans appalled at how their country has become a very different place in just 2 short years. The way to bring about this change is through elections, where voters will hold these scoundrels responsible for spitting on the Constitution and the foundation of this country.

Mark Levin on the cover of his latest book.

I’d like to thank talk show host Mark Levin and the Landmark Legal Foundation, who are working hard to ensure that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama don’t trample over the constitution any more than they already have. If the House uses the “Slaugher Rule” to pass the health care bill this weekend, it will be facing a serious court challenge. To read more about the potential lawsuit, go to Mark Levin’s website.

You might be wondering what student loans have to do with the health care bill. If you can’t figure out how they are related, don’t feel bad, they have nothing to do with each other. Democrats are simply trying to tack on changes to the student loan program which would cut out the banks, have the government originate the loans, then use the savings to increase Pell Grants.

Democrats never seem to miss an opportunity to expand the government at the expense of the private sector. As you might have guessed, Republicans oppose this unrelated expansion of the health care bill:

With Democrats deciding to incorporate changes in student aid into the bill, Republicans suddenly had a new reason to oppose legislation they have long sought to scuttle.

“Well of course it’s a very bad idea,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “We now have the government running banks, insurance companies, car companies, and they do want to take over the student loan business.”

He said it was symptomatic of Democrats’ determination to have the government expand its tentacles into absolutely everything.”

Since a House vote is set to occur next week, you have to think Nancy Pelosi has the votes or is very close. On the bright side, Americans are growing more disgusted with Barack Obama‘s health care plan and his expansion of the government. If Democrats do pass the health care/student loan program, they would be wise not to celebrate too much. Their power grab will be recognized by the American people, and they’ll once again be the minority.

From the beginning, Scott Brown said he would vote against Obamacare, and would be the 61st Senator needed to stop the Democrats. The fact that this message resonated with one of the bluest states in the country illustrates the level of discontent with Congress and Barack Obama. This is just the latest loss for the Democrats. You might recall the huge losses for the Democrats in the November 2009 elections when both Virgina and New Jersey elected Republican governors. Some felt that those elections weren’t really much of a barometer for national sentiment. However, Scott Brown’s win leaves no doubt that the Republican party has the momentum.

Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi should look at this moment as a judgment of their leadership. A moment where a state that tends to support their ideas overwhelmingly, finally had enough. It’s one thing to have your political enemies criticize you, but when your methods receive a rebuke from your own, it’s time to reconsider your approach.

There’s no doubt that this momentum will carry forward into the November elections. It’s very likely that Republicans could pick up a half-dozen Senate seats and possibly gain control of the House. Hopefully, when they return to power, they will practice the fiscal conservatism that voters sought when they put them in office.
