How did nancy pelosi become Speaker of the House??

Here is my opinion for what its worth,

When Republicans took over the House,the democrats were depressed. They had just lost a major election. They were down and no one wanted the Minority job. No one anted to be sen as leading a bunch that had just handed control over to republicans. They looked around and here was nancy ,a climber.She would take anything if it looked important. So they gave it to her. They really didnt expect to take the house back in 2006,but when they did here was this incompetent ,plastic, bug-eyed fool they had made minority leader. how could they deal with her? If they dropped her they would lose the women’s vote. So they were stuck with her for better or worse. Its worse.

A paltry 14 percent of Americans claim a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress.

Another data point for my tagline self-ping.

One of the more frightening things Pelosi has said was when she declared that because Condi Rice has no children of the age to serve in the military, she was not qualified to send others into war.

Pelosi mentioned that her granchildren aren't old enough to serve and seems to have no clue that her grandchildren and their children and grandchildren will one day be affected by terrorists; or traveling to Mecca.

That “honeymoon” was more like that between Job and the seal trainer that dared him to marry her in Arrested Development.

We can only brag about how good it was to pretend it ever happened.

Remember when Nancy Pelosi took office as Speaker of the House? How could I forget. I had to turn off my TV for a few weeks.

All those nauseating pictures of lovely Nancy with her grandchildren being hailed by the newsmedia like a goddess.

It would be interesting if they graded the House and Senate separately. I think the Senate would show up much worse.

For all the clowns in the House leadership and in the House in general, at least these clowns stand for election every two years.

It is the imperious, arrogant, superscilious, elitist, condescending U.S. Senate that really fires my vehement anger at the Congress. Since they only stand for election every six years, they think they are some kind of royal country club. They don’t represent the people, or the states from which they come. They are about self preservation, and are frequently bought off by special interests.

The founders of this Republic intended the Senate to be a body to represent the States. Senators were selected by their respective states according to the laws of that state, be it by appointment by the governor or by selection by the state legislature. The Seventeenth Amendment stripped the state governments of this power, and created a “House of Oligarchs” which, because of their six year terms, are accountable to no one. It was instructive to observe the behavior of Senators that are up for election next year versus those who are not in the amnesty bill “debate.”

Far from being “the world’s most deliberative body,” it is the Senate that has come up with the most radical legislation, particularly on immigration and amnesty in recent years. If anything, it is the House of Representatives, clowns and all, with their feet held to the fire every two years, that have played a major role in stopping this amnesty insanity that the elitist Senate cooked up. It is also the insulated, elitist, cloistered Senate that has been the origin point of such atrocities as McCain-Feingold and recent attempts to revive the fascist free speech regulating “Fairness Doctrine.”

We need to keep in mind that it is the House of Representatives that played no small part in knocking down the amnesty insanity in that the Republican House members voted overwhelmingly against the Senate amnesty atrocity and sent the signal to the Senate that the amnesty bill was dead on arrival. This helped to defeat the amnesty bill before it could get out of the Senate. Similarly, the House voted overwhelmingly with 309 votes to defund the so-called Fairness Doctrine, a vote that included both Republicans and Democrats. Jim Pence has also introduced legislation to prohibit the re enactment of the Fairness Doctrine by the FCC. It is interesting to note that McCain has introduced similar legislation in the Senate, but it is too little, to late. The Senate has shown its elitist tendencies to regulate free speech and pass radical legislation.

The possible solutions to this Senate problem include repealing of the Seventeenth Amendment (which is difficult and will probably never happen) to shortening to four years the terms of the Senate. Term limits are another possiblility. Think how much better it would be if we could get rid of Teddy Kennedy and John McCain. Both of them, and far too many others have been in there too long to be representative of anything but their own self aggrandizement.

Good! I hope it goes even lower and more of the sheeple awaken and notice that it looks like our gov’t gets up every morning trying to figure out a new way to screw us.
