Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has not been removed from her position of power because of her lies on water boarding and the CIA [Article - ]. In an effort to cover over her lies and deflect attention, one would have thought her pathetic stammering and stuttering through bizarre and rather incredible explanations and her frantic backpedaling would have sealed the deal on her removal; however, Pelosi has been successful in slithering out of the spotlight and continues to serve in a position of leadership…for now [Article - 1. Republicans keep pressure on Pelosi : Demand evidence of CIA 'lies' | 2. GOP turns up volume on Pelosi comment on CIA | Post - The Fall Of The Speaker].
Several other politicians in the U.S. Congress are supposed to be under investigation, but what has happened so far [Post - Democrats and the Culture of Corruption – A Quick Review]? Has anybody heard any results from investigations or measures taken to punish offenders? Don’t rely on “mainstream” media outlets. Even Fox News has been silent. The Republicans, who are usually very quick and efficient at dismissing wrongdoers in their party, are doing nothing about the suspected wrongdoers on their side of the aisle. Why? If any of those people would have been you or me or if they would have worked in private industry, there would have been relentless inquiries and investigations. If the results of any investigations proved unfavorable for the offending party, reprimands, demotions and/or firings would have resulted.
The level of hypocrisy in the political arena appears to have no bounds. There is one set of rules for elitist, corrupt politicians and another set of rules for the rest of us. When are people going to stand up and call for action against our so-called leaders who turn out to be miscreants and who are proving to be a disgrace to their office? Nobody has to wait until the next election, but until people start speaking out and taking action against corrupt politicians at any level of government, the status quo will continue to exist.
