    It's time for Pelosi, et al, to resign

    She has probably been the worst Speaker the democrats have ever put forth. I'd like to say she has no accomplishments, but it's worse than that, she has gone the opposite direction of an accomplishment. We now have unfettered spying available, and now she's likely to back unfettered cash giveaways to bad (to put it kindly) wall street types, and she's likely to make it possible for republicans to vote against this cash giveaway and have the whole sorry mess be attached to democrats (not without some reason in this instance).

    I keep wishing the republicans will lose so badly that they clean house and put in reasonable people, because that would at least give a voting choice. As it is, I feel I have to vote for democrats because they're not so inescapably bad as the republicans.
