Paul Broun: Pelosi Is A Domestic Enemy Of The Constitution

Talking Points Memo:

At a town hall in Commerce, Ga., last week, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a "domestic enem[y] of the Constitution."

"When I was sworn into the Marine Corps, I was sworn to uphold the Constitution against every enemy, foreign and domestic," he said. "We've got a lot of domestic enemies of the Constitution and one of those sits in the speaker's chair of the United States Congress, Nancy Pelosi."

WRONG PAUL. you and BUSH are the ENEMY to the Constitution, Its not the Bible and its not open to be interpitated any way you like.

[Siebenstein]

I think, I will start a list on the true enemies of this country.
Something like a red list for people such as this guy and the 1000's of others I have seen come up during the past 8 years to date.

I will !

It will one day make for an easy book about this incredibly harmful time.

"When I was sworn into the Marine Corps, I was sworn to uphold the Constitution against every enemy, foreign and domestic," Mr. Broun says. Then how come he said and did nothing when the Bush administration acted as an enemy of the Constitution by suspending habeas corpus, spying on American citizens, rifling through their e-mails and telephone calls, and suppressing their civil liberties? Mr. Broun's defense of the Constitution mustn't run very deep, if he stomached all that without raising a peep.

Empty words by an empty suit

Who here REALLY thinks that Nancy is not on the take? C'MON! Corporate oligarchs are the ones in power. Talk about your vote not counting! They don't need it.

[lobear00]

Would all members of congress be on the take! Justices on the bench surely are on the take! People in the justice department surely are on the take. My this nation is just full of "Corruption" and the people have to pay the price.

[GenXer]

Where's the feigned outrage?
No I'm not!
Yes you are!
No I'm not!
I'm rubber, you're glue....
Can we stop electing children?

[Jaybot]

Did I read that correctly, this Broun guy just accused Pelosi of treason? I suppose he can back that up?

[clearpepsi]

I have never seen a party as weak as the gop - the kooks are out that is for sure, what a culture of failure... there is no way the gop will gain control of either house in 2010 (a lot of things can happen) but there is no way... it's magical thinking if they do think this... soon the final nail in the cofen of the reagan era will be hamered in with health care, today's Nobel can only help....

Some one is going to drop in 2010..............................

More of the great neocon game of "whatever evil we do, we accuse the other side of doing it".

For 8 years OUR constitution was openly considered a detriment to conservative goals and treated with less respect than a Big Mac wrapper. Now they claim those that tried to hold fast against their regressive assaults on our freedoms are the ones doing what the cons actually did.

What an upside-down world we live in.

[Apov]

The Party of Death has no shame.

They are ter.ror.ists in our midst.

Accomplices of al.queda.

Working to bring our great nation to its knees.

[Dari]

WHERE......

Where was the 'hue & cry' when our Constitution was IGNORED throughout the last 8 years?

Where is the $hame or red face when these 'elected' representatives make such hypocritical statements.

Where is our M$M to call out this continuing idocy?

WHAT does this say about the folks who ELECT this type of person?

Just Asking.....

[JWB2012]

ON HIS KNEES. (and not praying either)

[kbee819]

The scariest assault on the Constitution is the military power grab over its civilian vested authority.

[miriamfl]

I just hope that we are keeping all these comments and videos of these clowns so that when they run for their next term we could remind the citizens of their state who they are really voting for. I can't beleive these politicians are working and representing the american people.

[1differentdrummer]

What a yoyo. Tell me we don't have an education problem.

[marecek]

I propose we create a Bachman award, to be given on a regular basis to the person who enters the loonie fringe by making the must ridiculous, divorced from reality statement. Broun would get my vote this time.

[leafericson]

and the Bachman Tin Foil Hat Award goes to ..........

Their next Presidential candidate has not even been born yet
