Pelosi Acting Like Shes Queen of the Senate Whatta Bitch!

Get a clue as to how this country is SUPPOSED to be run, OP.

Pelosi is not queen of the Senate, she's queen of the House, aka Speaker of the House. The House runs the purse strings of the govt., and has the Constitutional RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY to hold bushco (the executive branch) accountable for the BILLIONS of dollars wasted on the Iraq fiasco, the war profiteering by Halliburton (who give our troops tainted water and rancid food for starters), etc.

It's about time somebody asked questions and made demands and used the purse string power of the House to rein the irresponsible, near-treasonous war whoring by the neocons.

but she is
is she not

get over it
u guys lost

next bhilary in 08

more balls than the coke-head cheerleader.

Hope she brings down that clueless bastard King George!

She is The Queen and claims to be the most powerful woman in America.

Just what we need is a raving Queen in charge of Congress.

"They never talked one minute in that letter what happens to Iraq when we leave," Graham added. "In all honesty we are not winning, and if you're not winning, you're losing. And now's the time to come up with a strategy to win."


She and her ilk couldn't care less what happens in Iraq once we pull out.

She needs to be strong to speak truth to power, wicked power!

What a bunch of sexist crap.

She's just another Israeli shill

...and she's got crazy eyes!

She doesn't care about all the innocents who will be slaughtered for 'helping the Americans.'

Permit me a foray of a paragraph into psychojournalism. It fascinates me to know that George Bush was a male cheerleader at Andover. Yes, it could have been worse. He might have been a table-dancer. But most of us who were in high school when he was recognize that you either came to watch football, or you came to watch the girl cheerleaders. There was something odd about a boy who wanted to be one.

We are ruled by a male cheerleader who favors torture. I wonder what things twist in the inner fog.



Given a president who seems chiefly concerned to display his indomitable manhood, the question arises: What restraints keep him from absolute control of a formidably armed nation of three hundred million? The Constitution, noblest of fables, was designed to do just this. But absent the will to enforce them, checks and balances do not exist, and laws, principles, and constitutions mean nothing. If no one says “no,” the president simply behaves as he wants. The genius of the strange little man in the White House has been to recognize this, to divine the weakness of the American political order.

When he wanted to attack Iraq, he simply lied, and lied again, and shifted his ground and lied again. It worked. When he didn’t want to follow the Geneva Conventions in his treatment of captured Iraqis, he just declared his prisoners of war not to be prisoners of war. Torture? He just did it and faced down the country and the world. Disregard of civil rights? Spying? He just did as he chose.

Here is the great discovery of the little man who doesn’t read. America is not the land of the free, nor of the brave, nor of the politically sentient. Nor is it a country of laws or of principles. It is a country of those who just do as they want. A president can do anything he chooses. Who will tell him no? Nobody has.

Today there is speculation as to whether he will make war, perhaps nuclear war, on Iran. The universal assumption seems to be that if he wants to, he will just do it. The legislature, already having given up its authority to declare war, seems to regard the military as the private guard of the president. Is it not interesting that one dim, pugnacious, ignorant little man can bring on nuclear war all by himself?

When Mr. Bush gets caught lying or breaking the law, he shows no embarrassment, contrition, or sense of having done anything wrong. He seems to have no conception of right and wrong, of principle. He is not accustomed to being told “no,” and accepts no constraints on his power. All that matters to him is that he get his way. He gets it.

Where will this lead? Obviously, to vastly increased police powers. But I wonder. If, down the pike, Bush announced that to protect us from terrorism he would have to postpone the presidential elections and remain in office—what would happen? Suppose he came up with a bit of supportive theater. If just before the elections something blew up, and were attributed not to the CIA but to Terrace, what then? The Reichstag has burned before. The public, the congress, the judiciary are so very, very easily manipulated. All it takes is the will to do it.

And that the little man has.

A tribal rite in the column racket is the discovery of darkness in the hearts of presidents, or witlessness, and we discover away industriously. I have done my share. I thought Clinton a bright, libidinous lout, Jimmy Carter a moralizing cipher, Reagan a sort of Grandfather Barbie and, by contrast, Eisenhower a wise man hiding behind remarkable syntax. None was evil, or mad. Bush is something new in presidential politics, genuinely dangerous and genuinely out of control. The time is ripe for him. America no longer has the institutional defenses to say "no."

Enlist.

What difference will that make, given that all troops are to be pulled out?

We need troops. Bush wants a surge of 20k, yet the military tells him he only has 7k. So why don't you support the troops by giving them what they need most to win, more troops.

Time for talk is over, your country needs you or we are gonna loose this war.

Enlist.

I'm right behind you. It's for the children after all.

Leading from the rear I see. Well you will be waiting a while for me to join. I don't think we should escalate this thing and we should send the troops home.

But if you want this thing to continue then we need more troops, it is that simple. So either accept that this thing is over, or make a sacrifice to win. Quit letting other people sacrifice for you.

You don't get it. It may be over for the coalition troops, but as soon as the last chopper leaves before actually finishing the job, that's when the real slaughter begins.
But you don't care about those people do you?
Just pull the troops out, and the news cameras will follow, and you can pretend that everything is right in the world again.

Pelosi is CFR(Council on Foreign Relations). She's just as much a puppet of David Rockefeller as George W. Bush. The war and Bush's tyranny will go on as scheduled.

Maybe if people like yourself had been a little more critical about the way this war was fought, we wouldn't be loosing.

The time to complain about those poor Iraqi's was over 3 years ago, but you were to busy calling your fellow countrymen traitors and appeasers.

Again I say, if you are so worried about those poor Iraqi's, do something about it.

A perfect fit for the raving Queen in the White House who has midnight trysts with Jeff Gannon.

Hmmm why is it when a women is strong in what she wants she is a "BITCH" But a man saying the same things is considered strong and decisive?

Too late, Pelosi says we're done. I'm too old anyways, I already served.

Got kids?

Doesn't matter, Pelosi says we're done. Fuck Iraq.

Quitter.

Nope, Pelosi and her ilk are the quitters.

Ya, you don't even bother to fight.

Why would I fight again, if my elected leaders won't supply funding to support me?
Obviously, they have no stomach to finish the job they voted to start, so I won't support them.
