Why do liberals support Pelosi's wasteful extravagant spending?

Question

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/pelosi-buys-16k-worth-of-flowers-2007-12-12.html

This is ridiculous. She should be charged with treason.

“They could have saved the taxpayer $16,000 by sending out an intern to pick flowers from the Capitol lawn, but I guess that would have detracted from the $4 million worth of pork they planted as part of the ‘greening’ project”

Answer 1

I don't know why they support her at all, wasteful spending or not. When she was made aware that interrogators were going to use waterboarding on terrorists, she asked if that was tough enough. She was also made aware that the CIA was going to destroy those interrogation tapes. She's one of the biggest hypocrites out there.

And why do they patently dismiss spending $16k on flowers when they complain about how the government is overspending? I guess it's only Republican spending that bothers them.

Answer 2

Why don't you post the REST of the article, which reads:

"Republicans are spending more as well. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has increased spending 23 percent above what Pelosi spent when she held the same job."

Better leave room on the treason scaffold for the GOP as well!

To SOUTHSIDE: Excuse Me? 9-11 happened under GW Bush. How the hell do YOU know when it was "targeted", whatever THAT means. Geez, you spin people never stop avoiding the ugly truth.

Answer 3

I don't support any kind of extravagant spending, but $16k on flowers is a drop in the bucket. What's ridiculous is that Bush & Cheney haven't been charged with treason for undermining the War on Terror by pursuing a pointless war in Iraq.

Answer 4

Yeah Southside, Clinton should have gone out and waged a war on a country that had nothing to do with the attack on the world trade center and spent us into incredible debt instead of hunting down the perpetrators, bringing them to justice, and ridding the country of that natural byproduct of a republican administration, staggering national debt.
Pelosi's 16k spent on flowers bother some. Read the rest of the article. She was outspent by Boehner.

Answer 5

First understand what treason is. Second, don't throw stones in glass houses.

From the article you cite:

"Republicans are spending more as well. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has increased spending 23 percent above what Pelosi spent when she held the same job."

Answer 6

this is from the 3rd paragraph from the article cited:

"Republicans are spending more as well. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has increased spending 23 percent above what Pelosi spent when she held the same job."

why is it that cons come out here pretending to be pure as the driven snow, but if you even look at their own sources, you see that they simply aren't.

Answer 7

Why do you Cons. support Bush's 9 trillion spending spree maybe more I lost count of his spending and borrowing from China and breaking the Social Security Lock Box and left all IOU's in the empty lock box. The missing money just can't be found, wonder it could be, just wondering that is all. hmmmmmnnnn

Answer 8

particular, considering of the help that they have got been given they gave Bush the authority to apply tension IF crucial. Congress never declared conflict. If I were in Congress on the 2d, i might have voted NO.

Answer 9

It seems that Pelosi doesn't care about being a good stewart of the resources that were entrusted to her.

Answer 10

The more money she waste the more liberals adore her. Why do you think Hillary's so popular have you seen her money burning plan?
