Nancy Pelosi has re-written the rules of the House to exclude all Republican influence.

The changes reversed the ‘fairness rules’ that were written around Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America. She has done this to ensure that the Republican minority has absolutely no influence on legislation whatsoever.

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats unveiled Congressional rules Monday that would end term limits on committee chairmen and make it impossible for GOP lawmakers to offer alternative legislation.

In changing how the House operates, Democrats sent a message that they will use the huge Congressional majority they won in November to overpower Republicans any time they wish. GOP leaders complained to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., that they were being marginalized, but there is little they can do.

The changes are set for approval Tuesday after the 111th Congress takes office.

While Pelosi doesn’t support fairness in the House, she does support the ridiculous Fairness Doctrine, which would effectively wipe all conservative talk from the airwaves. No fan of free speech, our Ms. Pelosi.
This is very telling - democrats hold the majority yet Nancy felt she had to do this for total control. Guess she’s a plunge the knife in AND twist it kinda gal.

Of course Republican leaders sent a letter to Pelosi stating their opposition to her strong arm move:

“President Obama has pledged to lead a government that is open and transparent. This (rules package) does not represent change; it is reverting back to the undemocratic one-party rule and backroom deals that the American people rejected more than a decade ago,”

Welcome to the United States of Obamaland. This is what you voted for, America. A unilateral government, a dictatorship with an inexperienced puppet at the helm.

Are you happy without checks and balances? Are you happy with a one party system? Does anyone remember what happens under one party governments?

We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz…
