From a Canada Free Press article, Freshmen, Pelosi, marching orders:
Freshmen, Pelosi, marching orders [/] Democratic cannon fodder [/] By John Burtis [/] Friday, November 10, 2006
A lot of starry eyed winners last Tuesday will soon find out that they are really rubber stamps of the Pelosi machine – no more, no less.
Carol Shea-Porter, our cherubic, liberal and far left New Hampshire conqueror of Jeb Bradley - who, it now appears forgot to campaign - ran a one theme campaign, will go to Washington not as an independent Mrs. Smith, but as a member of a centrally controlled Politburo, which will clap and vote in unison, or disappear. [/] And there’s the rub.
While the progressive press has been quick to point out the arguments and the divisions which beset the once conservative Grand Old Party, the new Democrats in the House, under the stern gaze of that Botox enhanced San Francisco treat, Ms. Pelosi, will suffer no similar subdivisions.
If they do, they will promptly be dropped from the lists of those slated to receive the Party’s future largesse guaranteeing them the sinecure they’ll be seeking in 2008, and they’ll be greeted shortly by the person who’ll shortly take their seat from them in the perpetual game of Pelosi’s chairs. Perpetual, that is, until the Democrats are voted out, or Pelosi disappears, or the next two years at least. And two years is an eternity in the Democratic blame game.
As Rush Limbaugh quickly pointed out between Bush’s Wednesday surrender speeches, sometimes the Democrats even use conservative shills to advance their socialist cause. But everyone who won a Democratic House seat on Tuesday is an absolute ringer.
But, at least compared to the Soviet Union, where Teddy K wrote his letters seeking help, where the government which the Democrats will seek to emulate used to sit, you won’t get shot for being a deviationist, or put on trial. The latter activity will be reserved for Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and probably President Bush.
And it’ll be here that Pelosi’s orders and the freshmen’s votes will be the most damaging, whatever they may really think, regardless of the evidence presented, because the new Democrats must now make their move, realizing that they may have only these two years to do their dirty work.
The new Democrats’ finest henchman, the well attired John Conyers, who can manufacture the thinnest of beefs with his staff and his subpoena power, has outlined his case already. And he’ll work with Henry Waxman, his old connate at the bar. [/] The Conyers case, as outlined by Byron York in NRO, is based on blogs, crank articles, the web site “raw story,” among his other sterling evidenciary footnotes, for the prosecution of President Bush.
And it’ll happen, because Pelosi can’t risk having John Conyers, and the likes of Jackson, Sharpton, and their ilk, leave the new Democratic reservation.
There are those sundry who believe that Ms. Pelosi will keep her word and keep the impeachment activities under control and off the front burner. But the hatred runs deep and the cries for revenge – reprisals for House Republican actions taken for the outrageous prevarications uttered by the Duke of Dalliance, the intern’s profligate paramour, the catch penny Mr. Bill Clinton. And the freshmen House members will be the cannon fodder providing the votes necessary to continue the radicals’ retribution operation.
Interestingly, Mr. Bush tossed off concerns Wednesday about Ms. Pelosi’s previous descriptions of him as a liar Wednesday, when he announced his surrender plan. Rumsfeld, like Bataan and Corregidor, was gone. Will Cheney be far behind? Especially now that the minimum wage, the borders, and all the taxes will be on the table?
And once a head has rolled, the new Democrats, just like the Parisians of 1789, will cry for more. [/] And soon Mr. Bush may find himself standing in an uncomfortable position in Mr. Conyer’s rented tumbrel, rolling inexorably towards the impeachment guillotine, buffeted by his fellow passengers, Dick and Don. [/] Revenge is sweet and it has been a long time in coming. [/] The cheering crowd will be made up, this time, of the cheery, bright eyed brand new class of green Democratic representatives, who will be waving their flags, hollering their studied lines, and voting as directed. [/] And they may be joined by some Republicans, who may fear the future and further losses, and are too afraid to fight.
Oh, boy, these next two years are going to be something.
But we can all be assured that we’ll witness the end of the innocence of the new Democratic freshmen. They have become, every one, accomplices of the new Democratic plan. Their independence ended with their election.
