Is Pelosi keeping Americans safe with pork giveaways to spinach&peanut farmers and fish breeders?!?

Answer 1

That's not safe that's dinner. pork ,fish, spinach and peanuts.

Answer 2

I don't know, how did it work for the republicans when they attached pork, out of control spending, and wacked the rubber stamp down when they were the majority in both the house and senate?

America spoke. They threw out the repubulicans. We have a democracy, if you don't like it, try someone elses version of democracy in another country.

If we only accepted election results we liked or based on popular votes, we wouldn't have this discussion, this war or the countless scandal investigations with the bush admin.

He lost the popular vote if you recall.

Answer 3

She has been enjoying partisan political politics continuously, so because it is not something new. Her purely excuse for any and each thing is blaming Bush or his administration. maximum folk of Congress in all risk 3 hundred of the 445 contributors could vote for drilling and a number of different of them are Democrats so she is a roadblock in the way of progression for the yankee human beings. i does not call her a stable for not something heffer yet a do not something heffer particularly.

Answer 4

Kleptocracy, is the only word that describes what congress is doing to us.

A culture of political corruption, it has undermined our trust in our government, and the only cure is to remove it.

We must have term limits to stop it.

The real problem in America is stupidity, special interest and/or laziness of the voter. How does a person who takes bribes on video, laughs about the ineptness of the FBI and puts $100K in a freezer get elected 8 times? And then the Senate leaders yell and scream about separation of powers. Yes they are right, it is about their power and even if it is against the law, you will not thwart their power.

You have career politicians running the government, not citizen legislators. Many accuse the career corporate CEO of only working for themselves, not the stockholders. Career politicians are NO different and they seem to think they are above the law and expect preferential treatment. If the only issue to remaining in power is to obtain cash, buy some votes with special interests and have the media spotlight, then the incumbent has it easy, all at your expense.

In the Senate there are:
44 Dems averaging 20.8 years in Congress
55 Reps averaging 16.1 years in Congress

these numbers begin to make it look like career politicians are in control, who have lost touch with you the citizen and are more entrenched in their own careers.

For the Senate, if you were to use two terms or 12 years in Congress as a term limit
25 Dems would need to leave and 25 Reps would need to leave.
Those Dems are averaging 27.1 years in Congress
Those Reps averaging 24.0 years.

80% of Dems in the Senate have been there more than 12 years
58% of Repubs have.

46% of Dems in the House have been there more than 12 years
32% of Repubs have.

Ben Franklin said of congress, "They are of the People, and return again to mix with the People, having no more durable preeminence than the different Grains of Sand in an Hourglass. Such an Assembly cannot easily become dangerous to Liberty. They are the Servants of the People, sent together to do the People's Business, and promote the public Welfare; their Powers must be sufficient, or their Duties cannot be performed. They have no profitable Appointments, but a mere Payment of daily Wages, such as are scarcely equivalent to their Expences; so that, having no Chance for great Places, and enormous Salaries or Pensions, as in some Countries, there is no triguing or bribing for Elections"

If you like the current political system continue voting along partisan lines. If however you are tired of the corrupt ways of elections and would like to see Franklins words be true again, vote for change.

Our country is being run by career politicians who for the most part appear to have lost touch with what you want, and are focused on what they want.

You can change this NOW.
1. Quit your partisan sniping, it is childish and only serves to remove the focus from the real problem in America.
2. Enlist your friends and family in the fight and ask them, if they agree about Congress to do the same.
3. Vote against the person who has 12 or more combined years in Congress
4. This will require in many instances you having to vote for someone outside of your normal party, but you are a patriot and you can do what is right.

Show congress in this next election that we the people are running things in this country, not career politicians. And we are going to do what is right.

I will end now with a favorite quote of mine.

“If a legislator is "safe" from competition, or if he represents groups with the same economic and political beliefs, he does not have to change his ideas or respond to the needs of the broader population. He can rest content with a mediocre, absentee performance knowing he will be returned to office. And as he is returned year after year the seniority system gives him immense control over people from other parts of the country whose views he need not heed at all.” -Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Decisions for a Decade

Answer 5

Pelosi is now rewarding the people who have sent large contributions to her campaign.

Answer 6

Pelosi is a joke! She is no smarter that a box of rocks!

Answer 7

No. Pelosi does not care of our troops to be successful.

Answer 8

NO Pelosi is the Lucy of politics...except we are the butt of her incompetence...

Answer 9

She hasn't done anything the repubs haven't done. Pork spending was attached to the Patriot Act years ago and no one said a word.
The repubs have done it for years.
So now, it's tit for tat.
Of course it is rather childish.
But then, that's D.C. for you.

(She and Bush are from the same breed.)

Answer 10

yeah, that works for me.

all of that has about as much to do with american security as the iraq war ever will...
