NO on Pelosi for Speaker!

[meuniermr]

She wants too much moderation IMO, which will co-opt the current revolution and work in partnership with Bush to advance the North American Union and Globalist causes. She will not allow impeachment hearings or other fact-finding and she has stated this. There are also better people qualified such as John Conyers. We can't let the media make Pelosi the figurehead and credit the victory to her when it was really Dean's. CNN: "Pelosi can't take too much credit for her party's triumph." Look at how the Republican revolution in 1994 was compromised in this way by the Globalist Gingrich. We do not need a return to bipartisan civility until we have undone the GOP's unconstitutional bills such as the Patriot Act.
On Edit; I think I need to slap myself and get a grip, Ive been taking Alex Jones literally too much. Me<- :tinfoilhat: :spank:
I still have the same viewpoint, I apologize for not using a less reactionary way to say it.

Down with the evil San Francisco neocon cabal!!!!

:tinfoilhat:

[Erika]

8. She's one classy and intelligent lady.

I'd be proud to have her as Speaker.

By the way, ding-dong, the wicked neocons are dead.

[berni_mccoy]

9. Pelosi is a Neocon? OH NOOOOO!!!!

HELP US JEEBUS!

:sarcasm:

[TheCowsCameHome]

Ignorance is your enemy.

[Mr_Spock]

always a killjoy in the crowd

[BuyingThyme]

40. You enjoy calling informed people morons?

And at the same time demonstrating ignorance?

[Mr_Spock]

43. Bleh

the person was being outrageous - not really leaving much room for debate - so I followed suit...

13. have a nice stay!

:hi:

[physioex]

14. Pfffft......

B.S. We had neocons in power the past six years and look where it got us.

[NEDem]

15. oh, ok if you say so

Don't you have a WTO protest/riot to attend or something?

[mondo joe]

16. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bye bye.

[Toucano]

17. Nancy has earned it. She'll be great.

She's hardly a neo-con.

[LoZoccolo]

19. Yerrrrrrrr out!

[meuniermr]

20. Not a Freeper.. WAY far left, yes.

[Journeyman]

22. It's not like we're going to have much of a say in it, anyway . . .

but blather away. We're hopeful we're on our way to being a free country once again, one where people can speak their minds (or not).

[KingFlorez]

23. Cleanup on aisle 5

A Freeper is actin' a fool

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I LOVE NANCY PELOSI!

She's a great and talented lady. She IS our new Speaker! THE FIRST MADAME SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!! That should be CELEBRATED! We need MORE women LEADING us.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I Thought Rahm Emmanuel And Chuck Schumer Were The Architects

They recruited the candidates but whatever...

[Horse with no Name]

26. Who are you?

:shrug:

[DemBones DemBones]

27. So who do you propose as Speaker? And is he or she

likely to be elected by his peers? I understand your reservations but who would be better and could win?

edited for typo.

[etherealtruth]

28. And your suggestion would be ...

Letting Denny Hastert just keep doing his good job?
:sarcasm:

She's great. Her in the position of speaker will be an historic event.

I'm thrilled

[meuniermr]

38. Conyers;

and I think I need to biatch slap myself and get a grip, Ive been taking Alex Jones literally too much. Me<-:tinfoilhat: :spank:

[etherealtruth]

44. I love Conyers ...

I still want to hear "Madam Speaker" though

[dflprincess]

29. But, but, but she has San Francisco values!

I like Pelosi. I think, rather than come out with both guns blazing, she's being very subtle. I imagine there will be hearings, but her first priority has to be showing the country that the Democrats will do a better job for them. None of us want this to be just a two year majority and it would be nice to pick up a few more senate seats in 2008. It won't be too late to do some investigating then.

[Bouncy Ball]

30. Awwwww. Who did it follow home?

It's so cute. "..the current revolution..."

[Horse with no Name]

36. Cut him some slack

He waited an ENTIRE year to post this little nugget.:rofl:

[Buzz Clik]

31. Neocon is sheep's clothing? LOL!

That's not a mixed metaphor, it's a semi-metaphor.

Here's the litmus test: the neocons hate her to their very core. Thus, she is perfectly qualified for the job.

[EstimatedProphet]

33. Dude, I think you're screwn.

[William769]

35. ...

:rofl:

[xultar]

41. OK, that was pretty fuckin funny.

[EstimatedProphet]

55. Thank you! I'm here all week!

[SeattleGirl]

34. Piffle!

Buh-bye!

42. On Monday, Freeps were freaking out that a "San Francisco liberal" could be the Speaker ...

and now she's a neocon???

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[EdwardM]

45. Please don't accuse this guy of being a troll.

Nothing he said in his post is a lie. Remember Pelosi did vote for the Patriot Act. Please have proof before you call a guy a troll.

[Mr_Spock]

46. Well, I didn't call him a troll

I called him a moron :rofl:

I am surprised my post wasn't deleted yet :rofl:

[musette_sf]

mm-hmmm

:popcorn:

[aquart]

70. I thought they'd all go home after the election.

Guess Nancy's that scary. Hey, Hillary voted for the Patriot Act, too. BOO!

[terrya]

47. Maybe it's just me, but...

I think that on a night that we've all dreamed, hoped for, that there's this pissing in the punch bowl. You know?

[EdwardM]

53. Maybe it's just me but...

Accussing Newbies of being trolls, makes new people not want to post here. Sure maybe Calling Pelosi a Neo Con is a bit extreme, but I can see the rational behind his thinking.

[txindy]

61. He's been here over a year.

You're not a newbie, either. You both should recognize flamebait when you read it and that's what this thread is - flamebait.

[EdwardM]

62. I don't know if it is flamebait.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I'm not gonna accuse him of being a troll until I have proof. I'm not just gonna automatically assume anyone who is new and posts something controversial is some sort of Freeper troll in disguise without proof. The Democratic Party is supposed to be a big tent party. There will be different viewpoints.

[txindy]

66. Yes, there will be different opinions, but the OP was flamebait.

It's not much better now. And he's NOT new. He's been here over a year. Besides, there is a history here of freepers delurking after elections making his timing extremely unfortunate, at best.

[doublethink]

73. Different viewpoints yes ..... but ..........

take a look at the rules in posting in this forum ..... seen um haven't you? :evilgrin:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. I Think Ninety Nine Senators Voted For It...

I'm not sure about the House but I'd like to see who opposed it there...

[EdwardM]

54. I believe Feingold voted against it in the Senate

I don't know who voted for it in the Congress. Its a shame that so many Senators didn't read the law before they passed it, but atleast Pelosi is against it now.

[meuniermr]

I still have the same viewpoint, I apologize for being too reactionary in my OP. What I really want is for our party to have a strong backbone so the "Sweet Jesus What Is It" cartoon is never posted again!

[xultar]

56. Unfortunately what do have to be moderate...get a few things out of

the way while investigating the fuck out of the WH.


I don't think you should call a moderate Dem a neocon. That's pretty daft.

[razors edge]

49. I love alex jones' "reporting"

But everything with a grain of salt, fact checking, and no crack pipes.

[Sapphocrat]

50. Oh, hell...

Pelosi's too moderate for me, and even I'm happy to see her as Speaker!

[terrya]

52. The first woman Speaker of the House.

It's...history, dammit. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the State of the Union...just to see Speaker Pelosi sitting behind Bush. :-)

[xultar]

57. Zactly!

[BootinUp]

58. Lets be the mirror image of BushCO and Delay! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

:eyes:

[American Jesus]

59. I agree that most of the credit of the victory goes to Dr. Dean, but....

...He's not in the House of Representatives. So if Nancy Pelosi isn't the speaker, who is?

[doublethink]

60. Perfect Post to what Nancy says about ........

DRAINING THE SWAMP. Thank's for making it easy on the rest of us. By the way ever hear of Fly Paper? :rofl: Oh I could go on and on. Too funny. Thank's for the laughs. Peace and all the best. :)

[ck4829]

63. NO!!! Pelosi has earned this position

She's been serving the Democratic Party and America for years. She deserves it, let's give it to her.

[meuniermr]

65. She also went along with the Mil. Commissions act.

[ck4829]

71. I don't care if she did

Bush was going to get this one way or another. NOW we can fight it.

[meuniermr]

72. She..

Agreed to leave posse comitatus out, and pledged 40k more troops in Iraq in her speech last night.

[Idioteque]

64. What's wrong with globalism?

I didn't vote Democratic to put up walls. I'm hoping we can finally get some good trade agreements passed that include trade adjustment assistance and scrap protections and subsidies for agribusiness and textiles.

I think the Democrats have a good opportunity to promote progressive globalism.

[hayu_lol]

69. Madame Speaker Pelosi...has a nice ring to it...

It is historic. She is more than capable of handling the job.

Will be interesting when she sits behind Bush...she will see his radio hookup.

Minimum wage first. Bush will have to veto. Then Nancy goes to the people. She has, with her first 100 hours, she will have Bush hogtied.

[AlCzervik]

67. she voted against the war, thats excellent to start with.

[mtnsnake]

75. As leader of the House, it's her duty to start talking us the hell outta Iraq

and not talk about how many more troops we need there.

[Zomby Woof]

68. Gingrich went after Clinton too aggressively

And look where that got Gingrich.

It's not compromise to not pursue impeachment - it's smart politics. We HAVE to win in 2008 by promoting an agenda, NOT by getting embroiled in the inevitable circus of recriminations and distractions. We have to win beyond 2008. The nation cannot endure another 12 year drought of Democratic leadership in Congress.

[crispini]

74. ZombyWoof speaks the ZombyTroof!

And to the op: Wow, take a xanax or something. ;)

[Ilsa]

76. I'm with you on this ZW -- There is work to be done, and the party

will ultimately be judged on whether they get the business of the nation -- healthcare, energy conservation, global warming, retirement, wages, etc -- taken care of.

Having said that, I'd love to see Cheney investigated because he seems to be the one with the most secrets, and the lost likely to be hung with financial corruption. But I want the business of the nation covered first.

[pinto]

77. Locking.

The election's only what, 20 hours old. We've known for months that if we took the House, Congresswoman Pelosi would most likely become the Speaker of the House. How about giving this discussion some room for civility all around?

Thanks.
