WHY Nancy Pelosi?

Question

I just can't get over the fact that she's going to be Speaker of the House.
Is there ANYTHING good about this woman? Or is the fact that she's a Democrat enough for some people?
I really am looking for actual answers. IS there anything good about her? Does she have any outstanding qualities? Does she stand for ANYTHING that's good and moral?
Furthermore, isn't choosing her, amongst ALL the good Democrats that are out there, like choosing (Warren) Harding over (Abraham) Lincoln?

Answer 1

No she is a scumbag socialist America-hating traitor. And yet because of their blind loyalty to their party, the yellow dog Democrats would vote for her if she was a yellow dog just because she is a Democrat (not that she isn't a dog anyway...)

Answer 2

She is critical of Bush's Iraq policies. And the Democrats won a majority of the senate, that's why its called democracy. There are always winners and losers.

It like Nancy Pelosi saying to Bush "Bush, you have been a very bad and ignorant leader."

Then Bush went to meet Iraqi PM in Amman, Jordan and said "Al Maliki, you heard Ms. Pelosi, you have been a very bad and ignorant leader."

Easy for Bush to say. God help that foolish man.

Answer 3

The loopy liberals have hijacked the Democratic Party as evidenced by their stupid chairman, Howlin' Howard, and what they did to Joe Lieberman. Pelosi is so far to the left that she doesn't have a right side. is it any wonder that the loser lefties wanted her for Speaker. She immediately tried to stack the deck with picking that embezzler Murtha for Majority Leader. Thank God that Hoyer was able to beat back that move. Then wanting to name Alcee Hastings, an impeached and removed former federal Judge who owes over 10 million bucks in legal fees, to be head of the House Intelligence Committee shows that Pelosi has no intelligence at all. read on:

Obviously, this woman has a very limited knowledge of economics! She is almost as scary as Hillary.

Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer".

"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class".


She went on to say "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time highs. "What this really means is" that business is exploiting the war effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own pockets".

When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded "Only the rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record highs".

"There is no question these windfall profits and income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class".

"Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our
working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich.


We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these
profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income to flow to the rich".

When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have
investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock market she replied "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for 90% of all these investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down" economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job security which is ridiculous". How much of this "trickle down" ever get to the unemployed and minorities in our county? None, and that's the tragedy of these stock market highs."

"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower Federal Income Tax taxpayers off the roles and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as"Americans"

A Bush spokesman responded to this interview by saying "Mrs. Pelosi has set a new standard for the spin business".

Answer 4

Seems you don't like her.When I read her record I see a lot of things that are good and moral but maybe we have diffferent values.Morality can be so subjective
She seems to want to help people with Aids out and is pushing efforts to find a vaccin.I think that's a good thing.
She believes in human rights,made efforts to promote them in China and that in the only realistic way,by tieing it to trade
When I read her record I only see good and moral things.
Since 1987, Nancy Pelosi has represented California's Eighth District in the House of Representatives. The Eighth District includes most of the City of San Francisco including Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, and many of the diverse neighborhoods that make San Francisco a vibrant and prosperous community.Overwhelmingly elected by her colleagues in the fall of 2002 as Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi is the first woman in American history to lead a major party in the U.S. Congress. Before being elected Leader, she served as House Democratic Whip for one year and was responsible for the party's legislative strategy in the House.

Legislative Record
As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Pelosi fought for America's families. She has been a leader in increasing educational opportunity, protecting workers, and promoting health care, including women's health and the creation of a nationwide health tracking network to examine the links between environmental pollutants and chronic disease. She has been a strong proponent of increased investments in health research, and has secured funding to double the budget for the National Institutes of Health. Pelosi also has successfully defeated repeated attempts to reduce funding for international family planning programs.

One of Pelosi's first legislative victories was the creation of the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS program. She has also worked to accelerate development of an HIV vaccine, expand access to Medicaid for people living with HIV, and increase funding for the Ryan White CARE Act, the Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative and other programs vital to people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.

Pelosi also successfully increased access to health insurance for people with disabilities by ensuring continuation of their health care coverage. She was instrumental in passing legislation to assist nonprofit organizations in the creation of affordable housing.

As a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for 10 years (the longest continuous period of service in the committee's history) including two years as the Ranking Democrat, Pelosi worked to ensure that policymakers and military commanders are provided with the timely and accurate intelligence necessary to guide diplomatic initiatives, succeed in combat, and protect U.S. military forces.

In meetings around the world with U.S. and foreign intelligence leaders, Pelosi has urged for greater attention to the threats to international security posed by the proliferation of technologies associated with the weapons of mass destruction and global terrorism.

In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Pelosi led congressional reviews of the U.S. intelligence and security agencies and authored legislation to create an independent national commission to assess the overall performance of the federal government before, during, and after the attacks.

Pelosi has long been an advocate for human rights around the world. She has fought to improve China's human rights record, attempting to tie trade to increased human rights standards. She has also been a leader on efforts to free the people of Tibet.

A leader on the environment at home and abroad, Pelosi secured passage of a provision in the International Development and Finance Act of 1989 which requires the World Bank and all the regional multilateral development banks to review the potential environmental impacts of development projects for which they provide funding and to make these environmental assessments publicly available. Known as the "Pelosi Amendment," it has become a significant tool for indigenous, nongovernmental organizations around the world.

Pelosi has also served on the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (Ethics) and the Banking and Financial Services Committee. She has chaired the Congressional Working Group on China and has served on the Executive Committee of the Democratic Study Group.

That the far right portays her as some kind of evil satanist only makes her more apealing to me seeing they always do that when any Democrat is sucsesful(see Clinton)
