Do you think Pelosi will behave herself at her lunch with President Bush or just revert to her old ways?

Question

Of calling him names and threatening to impeach him?

Answer 1

It will be an interesting challenge. Many of the Democrats' supporters indeed are part of the anti-war hard left. But the Democrats won in part because they ran more conservative candidates. (The leaders are NOT moderates, though.)

Minority parties can afford to be ideologically "pure." Governing majorities have to juggle many warring factions. The left may well end up grumbling about Pelosi, et. al.

But past experience indicates to me that the Democrats will overplay their hand. But the Republicans' appearance of beng entrenched, bloated, corrupt spendthrifts more interested in holding office than in getting things done will linger. A far cry from 1994.

Lots of chellenges here for everyone. Maybe Bush pulled his punches too much in Iraq, thinking a major military operation to "clean out" the insurgents would sink the party. I dunno.

Since I'm on it, I think we see again how the Democrats and Republicans have different beliefs and spoke to different audiences. Democrats thought the war was unnecessary and said things - comparing our troops to Naxis, etc. - meant for domestic consumption but picked up and exploited by our enemies. Bush knows we are at war - his "stay the course" rhetoric was meant to show our enemies that we had resolve, but played domestically like he was arrogant and out of touch with the American people. Bush lost the public relations war.

My big concern is defense. I hope the Democrats don't force a retreat, and cripple our national security. I fear they will, given their rhetroric, signalling weakess to our allies and enemies. (Either that, or they will grudgingly support more of Bush's policies now that they are in power, having merely used the anti-war groups cynically to get votes.) A Democrat program to "stop the killing" in Iraq and hobble surveillance programs having nothing to do with Iraq could lead to many, many more American lives lost in the long run than a policy of strength would.

I hope I'm wrong. But I have grave fears for the future. I hope we don't look back at this election as a "Neville Chambrerlain" moment.

Then again, it was hard for many conservatives and others to take Bush entirely seriously on homeland security when he seemed so lax on our own borders.

Just some honest, rambling thoughts from a long-winded conservative.

What happens next? Time will tell . . .

PS I have to add - I think the people have spoken, and we have to respect that. but I do fear for my country when I read all the idiotic posts here - "Bush caused 9/11," "Bush is in cahoots with the oil companies," etc. What are they teaching kids these days? Unbelievable.

Answer 2

Let's hope not.

Well, it only takes a moment to help convince Nancy Pelosi to Impeach..

The day the nation demands impeachment is upon us. Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Nancy Pelosi's office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative's own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).

There's a little known and rarely used clause of the "Jefferson Manual" in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.

That's where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.

You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help to convince Pelosi to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.

Answer 3

Calling him incompetent--which is well documented--isn't calling him names. Pelosi never threatened to impeach Bush even though he is deserving of this fate. Pelosi's plan is to focus her attention on important issues: raising the minimum wage, initiating a plan to implement the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission, changing the strategy in Iraq, passing legislation for stem-cell research, and overhauling health care and Social Security. Pelosi is a professional and will work with Bush--assuming of course that Bush can humble himself enough to work with a high-powered woman--to cooperatively improve America. She is not head-hunting. Her goal is an honorable one.

Answer 4

Please clarify what constitutes a legal in Speaker Pelosi's holiday. How is it that Many different residing house audio equipment (Republicans too) can do precisely an identical element and not a observe is declared yet a woman Speaker so properly enjoyed by potential of the astounding does it and now it somewhat is a legal? stable grief what hypocrites they're. in line with probability the three Republicans that observed her on the holiday could be indited as properly. they'd have committed an identical crime. considering whilst does the President of the U. S. a dictator (i be attentive to this one and his followers desire him to be one) to the component of telling the chief of one of the chambers of the Legislative branch the place they'd and can't bypass. talk approximately lies. there has been little or no certainty popping out of the administration. in certainty Bush does no longer be attentive to the certainty if it jumped up and bit him interior the tush. indexed under are a pair of costs i think you would know as being from a pair of your glaring heroes. It suits this administration to a tee. Hermann Goering, 2d in administration of the 0.33 Reich and key founding father of the Nazi celebration, reported; “Voice or no voice, the persons can constantly be brought to the bidding of the leaders. it is ordinary. All you are able to desire to do is tell them they're being attacked and denounce the pacifists for loss of patriotism, and exposing the rustic to larger threat”. "in case you tell a lie sufficiently super and shop repeating it, human beings will at last come to believe it. The lie could be maintained basically for such time through fact the State can shelter the persons from the political, financial, and/or protection rigidity effects of the lie. It subsequently will become significant for the state to apply all of its powers to repress dissent, for in certainty the mortal enemy of the lie, and subsequently by potential of extension, in certainty the ultimate enemy of the State." __Josef Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
