until I saw your pictures.

Then all the food I had eaten started to rise back up into my throat.

The three words that Bush would really fear is:

China invades Taiwan.

Because that is the only three words he need fear.

Can't you just tell RUPERT CORNWELL was touching himself while writing this piece of democrat party porn?

To: freespirited

Gosh, where to start? I feel like I'm walking away from the counter at a Mexican fast food joint; I got a whole bowl of tripe.

The title of the piece, and the explanation, are a joke. George Bush fears Nancy Pelosi? On what planet is this? He might disagree with her opinions, disappointed in what she says, especially about him, but this author implies that he'll cower away like seeing some deadly vampire. No, what he fears is yet another major terrorist attack on our nation. I'll give them a tidbit of the meat though - he does fear three words, but they're not Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It's 'Children are dead.'

But once again, it is the political games of 9/10 in a 9/11 world. They're going to pull off an upset, ala Gingrich. They even spoke about Gingrich's cornerstone, the Contract With America. And they said that someone's got a plan. And as usual, that was about as far as they bothered before they went on to other things.

They state that people are angry at congress - yup, Republicans (for the first time in a decade) have a lead on Democrats in being disapproved. Should last this news cycle, maybe the next, but that's it. Toss down a sheet of Nancy quotes in front of the average voter, and they'll go running screaming away. Same with Dean's quotes, Teddy's quotes, Kerry's quotes.. Oh, yeah, did I mention that virtually everyone hates their leadership, including the Democrats themselves?

I think the most frightening thing is that all politics are local: the average voter isn't voting in their congresscritter for one party or another, they're usually voting either with their already registered party, or they like the guy. They could come up with the miracle, and actually win back the house. (I don't even want to consider the senate - Dean would go back to his things about guys with flags in their pickups and it'll get really muddled from there.)

What comes next? Nothing. Those dudes with the plan? Well, they didn't consult with any women on that, there's no plan for African Americans in there, and besides, they're a bit busy holding hearings and stuff. Did you hear about the gay pride parade? Nancy's the first floater...

Fact is, the three words "Speaker Nancy Pelosi" are the three words most likely to drive voters into the Republican column in most congressional districts in the real America.

She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come.

She would be as flat, politically, as a trick flatulant chair pad if it weren't for her livid and uncontrollable hate for Bush!

This is from the same paper that printed a glowing editorial on the Taliban not long before 9/11. Wish I could locate it.

Gee, the writer of this spew forgot to mention the ABC ( rat media) miniseries that slams the last RAT administration with being totally incompetent in dealing with the Muslim terrorists, set to air 60 days before this "pipe dream" of a RAT takeover in Congress.

I wonder if that will help or hurt their dream?

That picture on the left wasn't even photoshopped. She posed for it right after she was elected minority leader. Strange Cosmos just had to do a little cutting and pasting on the right.

Obviously she is a competent politician. She is continually re-elected. And obviously she is ambitious and quite obviously she is driven.

So the statement, as written, is not entirely wrong.

Does this mean she is what the country needs? Absolutely not. It would be a disaster. First for the President, but more importantly for the Republic.

"She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come."

I wonder if Cornwell understand if the same thing could be said about Satan who, by the way, would easily win her district as long as he had the necessary "D" after his name.

Every blue dog Democrat and any others representing conservative or swing districts needs to be asks if they will support this fifth-columnist as Speaker. If they say yes, then their constituents need to come down on them hard. If they say no, then the George Soros consortium which owns the party needs to throw a hissy fit.

There are differences, of course. Sensing the national mood, Gingrich came up 12 years ago with a "Contract With America," a catchy 10-point program that claimed to be a conservative manifesto for government. In 2006, Democrats have produced nothing as ambitious.

In 2006, Democrats have produced nothing at all. ~~as ambitious.~~

There, that's better.
