While Nancy Pelosi seems to be in firm control of the new Congress, is that a good thing? If you read the whole op-ed below it makes it sound like she is more Bush-like than any Republican which should have made Republicans happy. But not now. Now, with the Dems in control of the House, Senate and White House, she seems to be swerving back to the left with some pretty sweeping changes to the way things are done in the House. Or are they to the left? She seems totally unpredictable. Or is she a very predictable, very typical, power grabbing politician, a tyrant who may go too far and alienate those she oversees? Is this the kind of leadership we need in our time of fiscal crisis much less everything else?
Democrats, it’s time to clean the House. Start at the top.
When the 111th Congress convenes in January, it is time for a change — a change of the Speaker of the House. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) in her two years as speaker has enabled a pro-Bush, pro-corporate agenda almost as facilely and frequently as Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
In November 2006, voters put Democrats in the majority in Congress to end the Iraq occupation and hold Bush responsible for the war. But the among first things she did when she became speaker was take impeachment off the table, giving Bush a blank check to wage the Iraq war for two more years.
Mustard, Randell and Reed were instrumental in forming the basic policy and directions of your two major political parties. That’s why I know them. Reed also made the Speaker’s office into a much more powerful force in the US political system.
The fact the left is just now talking about this shows how much they’ve failed over the past two years.
There will be no Democratic majority as long as enablers like Pelosi and Reid are waving the gavel.
Flip-flopping in a time of regime change just shows they’ll do whatever is needed for the patrons with the biggest donations.
As an Independent,I could give two shits who gets the Nation back on track,just so it gets done.
I am however put-out with the so-called conservative party and would venture that the America we have now is the America they wanted,
just that They lied to Us about who they were
and what it meant for the average Guy on the street to gain Our confidence,our money and our votes.
Sounds like the Pelosi and Reid that I know.
Harpy Begone!
Yep, they could have voted for Cindy
LMAO
Two years of the beyatch and you still make that question? I’m with #1.
#3 I have recoop’d my faith in you.
#8 Actually, I think what he said is that only Repubs. can do a decent job there to be remembered. What a disgrace for the Dem. party that guy is.
#9 I don’t know if a witch hunt is what people want. But boy, did Dumbya screwed up or what?
#16 Now, you made me LOL!
#20 No, when they reached counting to 2012, that’s when Cortez arrived. OR, the one Mayan that was recounting the one that got to 2012, saw the Maddof thing (which the previous one had overlooked), yelled and that made the count to stop…forever. Not yet hystorically cleared.
As CONgress was passing the 700Bil Bailout giveaway. Pelosi was up there crowing how the middle class just got a “New Direction” (rammed up there..). Somehow I envisioned she was wearing a strap-on… Barney Frank was giggling too.
I vote with #3. She’s for sale and her values scare me.
she is a whore. she can be had for a price. she needs to go
Why are you so upset with her? She arranged for an increase in the minimum wage for everyone except the workers at companies in her district that gave her money.
