Talk is cheap- Is Nancy Pelosi doing her job?

In these trying times in our country, after so many absurdities and lies, many are now willing to speak out and complain about President Bush. Bush, however, would not have been able to commit any of these atrocities without the complicity of congress. It is bad enough that many in Washington DC did not take the time to read the intelligence(or lack there of) before the war, they have taken no steps to hold this administration accountable for their lies. Nancy Pelosi has supposedly been leading the democrats in the house of representatives, but she has taken no steps to provide the much needed checks and balances. It is not enough to just point the finger, it is the responsibility of congress to take action.

We come to the point where Nancy Pelosi is claiming that if we just elect John Kerry, everything will be better. How can anyone assume that John Kerry will hold this administration accountable, when he seems unable to currently? If John Kerry had done his job in the past, the Bush crime family would not be in the position to ruin our country this way. (see "John Kerry & Bush Cabal’s Iran-Contra Conspiracy: Kerry/Bush a cover-up team for 20 yrs" http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=3234)

In Nancy Pelosi’s recent radio address she stated "The President must be held accountable for this war. This diversion has cost more than 1,000 of our soldier’s lives, thousands more injured for life, and hundreds of billions of dollars. This war has been a grotesque mistake that has diminished our reputation in the world and has not made America safer." I am happy that Nancy Pelosi is willing to stand up and speak about what has been blatantly obvious to the American people, but isn’t it her job to do something about it?

We have heard time and time again that the house does not have the votes to impeach, but at this pivotal time in history shouldn’t we rise above partisanship to fight for our country and the ideals of our forefathers? The house leadership should at the very least push for accountability so the American people have a chance to see who is and isn’t doing their job.
