The fact Pelosi put this joke of a gasbag up for Speaker in the first place ought to tell you how much of a circus things are going to be in the house for the next 2 years.Majority leader, not Speaker. But your point is still well taken. Even if she did this just to placate the Moron Base, it shows what she's going to have to do to placate them in the next 2 years. One Moron Move after another, I'm sure.
Yes you are correct, I mispoke... he was up for Majority Leader.. not speaker, Pelosi herself will be the next speark.
Dems are in a no win, at least when it comes to IRAQ...
Now that they have won the election on a platform of out of Iraq... they are rapidly finding we can't just get out of Iraq.. (not that it wasn't common knowlege to begin with) but they pandered to that moonbat base on that issue... and they won't be able to deliver.... so will the moonbats turn on them? Or quickly forget the supposed quagmire of Iraq ?
Now the dems are going to be forced to govern, and find all that hateful rhetoric they've been espousing for the past several years coming back to bite them on the but... they are also going to learn that those moonbats aren't reasonable folks...... They fully expect delivery on the promises made to them... and will be screaming bloody murder when it doesn't happen. Doesn't matter they are <1%ers.. they are going to make it impossible for the Dems to remotely legislate from anything remotely center or even reasonable IMHO.
I can guarantee america this much.. the Border Fence is DEAD.. Immigration reform is DEAD.. Bush didn't want it, and the conservative base is the only reason we got what we did, now that dems have taken over you better believe Bush will offer that up immediately to the DEMS.......
If there has been a failing in foreign policy by this administration it hasn't been Iraq, Afghanistan or the general WOT... its been the handling of things in this hemisphere, particularly immigration. We have a growing communist influence south of us. And on dealing with China.. a topic far too long for me to go into here.
