Is that non-ethical?

Answer 1

Perhaps she thinks that if she says it enough it will be true. Who can figure out what goes on in that hypocritical head of hers.

Answer 2

Pelosi has a very short memory when it comes to her own shortcomings. For that matter, I bet that dumb SOB can't even remember what she had for breakfast on most days. She consistantly has lapses in ethics.

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."

Statement on US Led Military Strike Against Iraq
December 16, 1998

"Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons. There's no question about that."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)
During an interview on "Meet The Press"
November 17, 2002

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002

"Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price."

Answer 3

To Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, it's a question of perspective.
If you are her political opponent then the mere accusation is enough to have you drummed out of office (IE Tom Delay).
If you are her political ally then you should be given a committee slot on homeland security (IE William Jefferson).
With this skewed view of ethics then they can see liars as truth-tellers and truth-tellers as liars.

Answer 4

Yes, she is very non-ethical in my opinion. She wants to withdraw troops from Iraq. If we do that, we will lose that war. If we do that, whether you or me likes it at all, all of those lives were lost for nothing much. If we continue, it will be ethical, because we are killing off terrorists and crushing uprisings that can bring instability to the region. That instability not happening is worth having a few American lives lost, because a huge uprising of terrorist groups will cost many times more lives lost.

Answer 5

Nancy should have never gotten in that position and I am sure the American people are already sorry for thoughtlessly voting for Democrats. Wait until they ruin the economy.

Answer 6

She isn't ethical. There are no ethical politicians anymore and there is no ethical Congress.

Answer 7

CSPAN doesn't seem to think it was unethical. They changed their rules about using their video as long as they are given credit for it.

Answer 8

Because she's a Democrat. They can say whatever they want and the news media never questions it

Answer 9

The rules do not apply to that side of the aisle, never have!

Answer 10

How very petty of Republicans to notice something like that. Nothing like dealing with real issues to keep themselves busy.
