she has a chance to cramp the war, end the war, set a timetabLe, etc... and she shows no Leadership.

but worse, she carried the administration's water for them to bLock obey?

yeah, keep pinning this war on repubLicans. :puke:

seriousLy though, why is she the speaker? what kind of Leadership has she shown, other than to take things off the tabLe?

6. Nothing - she's a corporate plant just like Rahm Emanuel, Feinstein, Clinton - DINO's O-Rama!
But but but we don't have the votes - but but but.

11. I still like her
I know she wanted to do big things. Others, I'm not even sure they are on our team. But she is..however..again we have the problem of leadership..she can't lead because they don't follow. If they did that Steny Hoyer guy wouldn't have been in and Murtha would have. Maybe she should find some anthrax, I don't know. But no one leads. Kerry..Biden..Dodd..none of them who are SMART and the best can get the rest of these weasels to follow. And I'm just talking about the weasels on "our" side. A REAL leader could yes-it's true even get Republicans on their team.

12. Nothing great about her at all. Looks like she is going to go with
the republicans again. Dems want a sur-tax to help fund this war and she and the republicans are against it.

She claims to be against the war but so far she has done everything to enable Bush to have his war.

What a zero.

14. I suppose people who serve in Congress might think they have a better idea
of what qualities they want in a Speaker than you.

21. No "clout" = no leadership, so why do we have someone who is
such a lousy leader as the "leader" of the Dem.-controlled Congress?

Oh, right. She's a woman. I forgot. Never mind..... :eyes:

TC (also a woman, who is NOT impressed)

19. Her clothes. She is consistently named "best dressed" female politician in Washington.
At least SHE knows how to use that Lobbyist money! To paraphrase Billy Crystal imtiating Fernando Lamas: "It's better to look good than to be good."

Pelosi SUCKS, otherwise.

22. She's no where near as offensive as Dennis Hastert and Tom Delay.
Seriously, that is a plus on to her favor.

25. I dunno, If "offensive" gets bills passed, I'd rather she be more offensive any day....
ANY DAY.

26. That is not what I meant.
I wish she would drag the GOP out on the mat. Hastert and Delay were offensive as "human beings", Pelosi is not offensive.

31. I knew what you meant!

I was being sarcastic, and funning with you. Dunno about ole sniffaroonie ;)

Although, I do find her ignoring the mandate we sent her in favor of doing nothing, "throwing in the towel", and "taking impeachement off the table" to be VERY offensive. At least with Hastert and Delay, you KNEW you were gonna get screwed. They never promised anything else. She did. We never saw it coming. Sad, but true.

27. She talked a good game last year.
but still hasn't held up her end of the bargain. And there are still some on here that are still waiting for santa clause to arrive but won't face up to the fact that the easter bunny has been feeding her koolade flavored chocolate eggs.

30. Nothing. In fact, not a good speaker unless being a good speaker
is working for a faction.
