If The Dems Take The WH, Will Nancy Pelosi Get Her Balls Back? I Think So

[fightindonkey]

I truly believe that Nancy has been incredibly careful not to do anything major, because she doesn't want Republicans to be able to spin anything the Dems do before 2008. I have believed this for a very long time. If they cut off spending, the Repugs would have this to use for the next election and win. If they won, the House would never be able to stop the war or the Right completely, thus doing more damage to the country, the military, and the party. I truly think this is the case. No matter how pissed you are at her, I truly think she wants Dems to win with flying colors, and then push non-stop for everything. She made a point about not cutting off spending, with sounded more about her getting the public to trust them with the House, more than what she wanted to do. Yes, unfortunate deaths in Iraq as the war continues, or Repugs win, using Dems votes against them: millions of more death, and the country sinking completely. It's a question of which would be worse. Thoughts?

5. No, I Don't Think So. Nancy's Dropped More Than Just the Impeachment Ball

Her agenda has nothing to do with ours. She thinks we still have a working government and she can be all lady-statesmanlike and go about normal business. She really doesn't see the Constitution in shreds, the economy going down the sewer, or the populace inflamed by the injustice and inaction.

6. Who cares?

I hope she is replaced as a leader. Folks who only have balls when it is safe to don't have balls at all.

7. I don't really believe this.

If the democrats only gain a majority...

If a woman was only made Speaker....

If, If, If

It doesn't really work like that. Nancy Pelosi has her 'balls'; it's just not the pair true believers want her to have.
