Democrats thwarted Republican attempts to expose the lies of Speaker Nancy Pelosi by blocking a probe of her knowledge of waterboarding and other interrogation techniques used by the CIA.

Pelosi has accused the CIA of lying and misleading Congress by claiming she was briefed on the techniques when she was not.  The CIA insists that it is being truthful when it says that Pelosi and others were briefed about US interrogation tactics in September 2002.  Obviously, someone is lying.  And the Democrats are trying to prevent the people from finding out who is being untruthful.  Why?  Probably because Pelosi is the liar.  If the CIA was lying, you can be sure Democrats would want everyone to know it.

Democrats played the typical “Republicans are creating a distraction” card, even though it was the Democrats who rehashed this old news from years ago.  Now that the truth is out that prominent Democrats had full knowledge of the “torture” being conducted against terrorists, they want to bury it again as soon as possible.

Typical Democrat liars and frauds.

It looks like Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been caught in a lie.  This is not surprising given that Democrats are pathological liars.

Back in September of 2002, Pelosi, the top ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was given explicit descriptions of the interrogation methods used against terrorism suspects, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

NY Times Article

Pelosi previously denied knowledge of the U.S. using waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques.  But according to a Washington Post article from December 2007, Pelosi was made aware of the techniques, including waterboarding, during a briefing with three other Congressional leaders in September of 2002.  Pelosi raised no objections.

The truth is that Pelosi knew full well what the government was doing and she was comfortable with it.  She only spoke out against the tactics when she thought it would be politically advantageous.

Since that time, tens-of-thousands of civilians have been murdered by terrorists.  Civilians have been beheaded, kidnapped, and tortured by terrorists.  Pelosi hasn’t spoken out against these things, either.

Just another Democrat liar.

Here is conclusive, irrefutable proof that alleged conman R. Allen Stanford is a Democrat.

Stanford is known by many aliases including: Robert Allen Stanford, Allen Stanford, and Sir Allen Stanford. Regardless of what he calls himself, we know what he truly is at heart: a Democrat.  He is as big of a Democrat as Bernard Madoff is (more on Madoff’s political contributions can be found at this site).  Both men are huge financial contributors to the Democratic Party and enjoyed hobnobbing with DFL power brokers.  The content of their character is typically Democrat as well.  They lie, cheat, and steal with no regard for others and no intelligence to tell them they will eventually get caught.

Stanford stands accused of scamming billions of dollars from clients of his investment firm Stanford Financial Group over many years. Around $8 billion of client money is unaccounted for. Stanford, once estimated to be worth $2 billion, is accused of being the architect of the fraud. He is also suspected of helping Mexican drug lords launder money. Law enforcement authorities are currently trying to locate him as he seems to have disappeared.  I wonder why…

ABC News ran a story this evening about Stanford’s cozy relationship with Washington D.C. Democrats (video).  In Brian Ross’ piece, Stanford is shown at the Democratic National Convention in August 2008.  In the video, he is seen hugging Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).  Former President and sexual predator Bill Clinton is shown thanking Stanford for his sponsorship of a big event.  The National Democratic Institute even invited Stanford to speak to them.

Picture of R. Allen Stanford being hugged by Nancy Pelosi:

If anyone doubts that R. Allen Stanford is a true blue Democrat, that picture should remove all doubt.  Nancy Pelosi isn’t a Republican hugger.

I showed you in an earlier post that Stanford is a Barack Obama supporter.

Let’s look at all of R. Allen Stanford’s political contributions.  Who did he donate to?  He donated mostly to Democrats.

What is most of interest are Stanford’s personal political donations.  His company ran a political action committee (PAC) that had numerous Stanford Financial Group employees donating to it.  But we want to examine the content of the character of a man who would scam people out of billions of dollars.  So we want to look at who he donated to, we don’t care about  anyone else.  We want to understand the mindset of one of the biggest scam artists in history.  We can learn much about a man’s character–and his intelligence–by looking at his political affiliations.  Generally speaking, if someone votes Democrat, they aren’t very bright.  A man who thinks he can get away with scamming investors out of billions has to be pretty stupid.  Predictably, he’s a Democrat.

Our research is complicated by the fact that Stanford used several variations on his name.  He also has a father named Allen Stanford.  Whether or not the father’s full name is the same as the son’s is not known by me at this time.  The father worked for the firm on the investment committee.  The son, Robert Allen Stanford, was Chairman and CEO.  That will help us determine which contributions are his.  Also, Stanford’s company has offices in several cities.  Most of his contributions are listed in Houston, Texas, but one critical contribution is listed as from Miami, Florida, where his company has an office.  Other contributions list his residence in the Virgin Islands.  His company was based in Antigua.  Yes, this Democrat didn’t want to pay taxes so he located his company in a tax haven.  Typical Democrat hypocrisy.

Total donated by R. Allen Smith, CEO or Chairman of Stanford Financial Group:  $884,700.

Percentage of contributions given to Democrats: 79.6%.

Percentage of contributions given to Republicans:  20.4%.

For every dollar he gave to Republicans, Stanford gave four dollars to Democrats.  He financially supported Democrats over Republicans by a four-to-one ratio.

Given Stanford’s disproportionate giving to Democrats, his attendance of the 2008 DNC, his hug with Nancy Pelosi, him being invited to speak to a group of Democrats, and him publicly being thanked by Bill Clinton, the evidence is overwhelming that R. Allen Stanford is a Democrat.

And he’s a typical Democrat scumbag!

There are a few more contributions under variations of his name which may be from the Stanford in question or his father.

There can be no disputing the fact that alleged scam artist Robert Allen Stanford is as big of a Democrat as his fellow crook Bernie Madoff is.  The man is a crook.  The man is a Democrat.

Parade Magazine reported yesterday that Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, drove an SUV.  She drove a Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

According to Parade, Pelosi’s office will not reveal the type of vehicle she currently drives.

The last year with fuel economy data for the particular model Pelosi drove is 1991.  According to the federal government’s fuel economy website, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer got an estimated 10 mpg. in the city and 12 mpg. on the highway.

Nancy Pelosi is a filthy hypocrite!  She single-handedly blocked expanded offshore oil drilling in the House last year saying that Americans must learn to conserve gasoline.  Then we find out that she used to drive a big, gas guzzling SUV!

She could have chosen a smaller, more fuel-efficient car back in 1991.  The 1991 Honda Civic, for example, got an estimated 28/33 mpg.

I’ll bet the true reason Pelosi won’t reveal the type of car she drives now is because it is a high-buck, luxury gas guzzler.

Liberals are all the same.  They are all liars, frauds, and hypocrites.
