it's the way of the right, leave out important facts to get their point across.

The person asked a question. I see your issue, regarding the fact that some Republicans went also. But the poster did not ask about those people...only Pelosi.
The poster made no reference to anyone but Pelosi. Therefor I took the question for what it was, and ignored it (I'm libertarian).
I saw no omission of facts...only a baited question.
Why did you even bother getting upset about it?

Oh they know, they just don't care. It's called partisanship, and even more clearly, a double standard. They love that double standard, it props up so much of their hypocrisy. Of course they went after Pelosi, and blithely ignored those three Republicans, she's a -- gasp! -- Democrat! I especially loved the ones who said well, the Republicans were wrong too and then just continued on their tear against Pelosi like those three didn't count after all. Lip service and spin are specialties of theirs, they've been learning it from George Bush for over six years.

i have not said that, and when i saw others had, i looked up why the republicans went. all i could find was that some republicans had gone to open a dialog, but these are just regular senators and representatives, who travel low - profile, so we can maintain our stance that we are not going to talk to them until they openly say the they will not support Hezbollah and hamas. these guys are keeping the lines of communication open, to keep pressure on Syria to achieve our ultimate goals. now here comes the third most powerful politician in the world, (who openly opposes her leadership) with 16 camera crews, showing the world that she thinks she can do it better than bush and she will go try it her way no matter what the people who are running the u.s. say. this paints a dismal portrait of our "united" states. she goes on to embarrass herself further by speaking to Syria supposedly on behalf of Israel, saying "Israel wants to come to an agreement with you", leaving out them most important part of both the u.s. and Israel's stance --not until Syria says to and shows the world that they are not supporting hamas and Hezbollah, which they will not.

The question was NOT about anyone else. The question asked if the old democommie Pilosi should be arrested. What is the significance of the claim that some Republicans went also?

Contrary to the above answer, the question did include reference to republicans that went too. Which just goes to prove the point of the question. I truly believe repubs have a problem with reading comprehension, otherwise it's just a case of they're only reading what they want to see.

Well I'm sure if you asked them - they'd say arrest the whole group that went. Congressmen and women are not ambassadors and do not set foreign policy. Their actions empowered a leader who's government is known to support terrorist organizations (they empowered a terrorist organization) and I agree - arrest them all (Republican's too) and put them all in jail, remove them from their seats and let the people of their districts select responsible leaders.

It is my understanding that the executive branch is not happy that ANY congressmen/women went over to Syria. I think they just jumped on the Pelosi thing because of who she is.

Also there is no law restricting where Pelosi goes. The freaking state department went with her. Should they be arrested?

Everyone seems to conveniently ignore the fact that MORE Republican lawmakers went to Syria than Democrats. I'm a conservative, and I couldn't tell you why. I thought my party was supposed to be more mature?

rather than diplomacy we should drop as many bombs as possible. we should search out and destroy every terrorist or even thought of terrorist and kill them and their families, making sure that we kill the children because we don't wan't offspring with anti american sentiment. we should stop dicking around here and pull all of our soldiers out and nuke the entire middle east. if other nations disagree with us we can nuke them too, everybody if we have to so that it is only america. the world will be ours then, we can have all of the fuel, all of the money. maybe we can strike deals with the countries that pose no military threat. we can have their daughters as sex slaves, and the sons as manual laborers. in exchange we will not nuke them. we will let them live.
as far as the families in this country that may get upset that we have destroyed their genealogical homeland, apologies but your country is now safer. if they get radically vocal we can put them into internment camps.
isn't this better than diplomacy?
