Repubs say, "Oh my God! If Pelosi is elected Speaker...?"
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 04:47 PM by kentuck
Why are they so afraid of this gentle, soft-spoken grandmother? "She will be third in charge from the Presidency", they say. What exactly will Nancy Pelosi do that will make their lives so threatened? Oh my God! The sky is falling! Nancy Pelosi may be the next Speaker! Oh my! What can we do to prevent this catastrophe? God help us!

2. The reason they're afraid of Pelosi...
is if she becomes speaker they won't be able to get away with buggering children.

4. It does seem like they're overreacting, doesn't it.
I think they'd act likewise to anyone with a (D) after their name.

28. I think you're right
I was working for Chuck Robb's re-election campaign in '94 making phone calls when the repunks picked the ONLY repunk on earth that could have lost to Chuck Robb, Oliver North. Anyway I was a bit upset at the Robb campaign because their call out script did not include support for our Dem Congresswoman Leslie Byrne - although Leslie's script did include support for Chuck.... so I added Leslie to the calls and told every one near me making calls to do the same thing - and one guy asked me why should I do that - and I said well don't do it if you want Newt Gingrich to be Speaker of the House

I see no difference with what the repunks are doing - I would and have done the same thing.

And you know its not a given that Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker of the House - it is my understanding that Jack Murtha is going to "run" for Nancy's position in the new Congress - although I have to think Nancy would be favored to win.

5. She'll insist the American People find out the truth about us
The Horrors!!! She and her San Francisco values of honesty and integrity. That's not what this country needs. We need more closeted republican pedophiles. We need more lies. We need more hate. Vote Republican.

7. "Why are they so afraid of this gentle, soft-spoken grandmother?"
Because they can't recognize the good in people,imo. If you handed them a bouquet of pussy willows - they'd get all confused and bust it up.

8. She's a Democrat -- they don't need anything else.
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 04:52 PM by ocelot
Because she's a Democrat, she will ensure that their guns are taken away; that they can never celebrate Christmas again; that their children will have to pray to Allah in the public schools; that all women will become lesbians, get abortions and practice witchcraft; that Osama bin Laden will become Secretary General of the United Nations; that their income tax rate will be 90% and all their tax money will be given to black welfare mothers to buy Cadillacs and crack.

9. I've noticed Repugs attack Dem women
Pelosi, Hillary, Gov. Granholm here in MI. I have questioned several repugs, while they make a face and use a mocking 'voice' when saying the names. "What is it that you hate about her?" I ask. I have NEVER gotten a satifactory answer. They hate because they are instructed to hate.

27. I repeatedly hear "Hillary just wants to be president"
with the same mocking tone. My response is always "So what's wrong with that?" Subject always gets changed. :shrug:

12. She might do something really unspeakable and evil, like
maybe cover up scandal where a member of her party is making inappropriate advances of a sexual nature towards a Congressional page who happens to be a minor, and of the same sex...


That would just be awful, if anyone did something that evil

13. And right now, Jabba the Nut is in line behind the Dickster.
I'd like to hear them explain how Pelosi could possibly be worse than that... Because Pelosi has a 'D' after her name, she is somehow worse than a pedophile enabler? Stupid f*****s

16. Republicans fear competent women.
I feel that what the republicans fear most is the fact that Pelosi would be a competent leader. They probably fear that in Hilary as well.

Looking over pelosi's 100 hour agenda, I can see why.. It's antithetical to all what the republicans in Congress represent right now.

Issues or facts don't matter to them.

24. Pelosi drains the swamp then
1) More Grandmothers and other competent women in top Government
2) More minorities
3) Paper Ballots and making voting easier NOT more confrontational
4) Government funded Campaigns
5) Decoupling of those in Government from Lobbyist
6) End Cronyism, nepotism and Rascalism
7) Less God and more Goodness and common sense
8) Government by the people for the people.
9) Less tax money on wasteful military programs and campaigns.
