Look Who Voted To Impeach Hastings
Conyers said no bad blood between he and Pelosi. He isn’t sure she won’t try to punish fellow members for voting against Murtha. Conyers and Pelosi do find that they have agreed in the past:
One of the newcomers to the House was the future Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had been in office a little more than a year. She voted to impeach Hastings.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, the future Majority Leader, also voted to impeach. And so did the lawmakers who will soon chair powerful House committees. Rep. Conyers, now in line to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, voted to impeach. Rep. Charles Rangel, soon to chair the Ways and Means Committee, voted to impeach. Rep. Barney Frank, in line to head the Financial Services Committee, voted to impeach. Rep. Henry Waxman, next chair of the Government Reform Committee, voted to impeach:
So did other well-known Democratic lawmakers like Rep. John Lewis, Rep. (and later Sen.) Barbara Boxer, Rep. (and later Sen.) Charles Schumer, Rep. (and later Sen.) Richard Durbin, Rep. Ed Markey, Rep. Ron Dellums, Rep. Julian Dixon, and Rep. Richard Gephardt.

Wasn’t it Pelosi running on a clean government platform? She would rid us of the Culture of Corruption?

2, shitto, we went round and round on this. DeLay is convicted of NOTHING! Now Pelosi used illegal immigrants to harvest her grape crop and sells it to a non-union vintner. Now, isn’t Pelosi breaking the law? Also, isn’t Pelosi being a hypocrite for being a Union shill, yet uses non-union labor and sells to a non-union shop?
Also, what about putting Murtha, Jefferson, and McDermott before a full, public ethics hearing???? Pelosi is dodging that,
All in all, shitto, you are the southern end of a north bound symbol of your party.

As for the rules requiring Delay to resign his leadership position, it is a Republican party rule. What is most telling isn’t that Hastert sought to change the rule to allow an effective leader to remain in his position after what can be best described as an entirely politically motivated indictment, but rather that the holier than thou Democratic Party doesn’t even have such a rule.
