The New America Jan 07

I am really curious about this Pelosi fascination.  After learning who Pelosi was from OS on this forum a few weeks ago, I have done some research.

ZERO of my friends that tend Democrat knew who she was (except for friends actually living in San Francisco).  The name was vaguely familiar, but no real connection.  The same was true for most of the middle/independents.  Among my more right-wing friends, however, there was a near-100% hit rate.  They all not only knew who she was, but knew that she was "way to liberal".

Now, from my research I concur that she trends to the left in the party, but I still smell a bogeyman.  The only people I hear bringing her up on the radio/TV are Hannigan and pals.

phhhh

the tribe has spoken

You honestly think Obama could make a Clinton/Obama ticket work? I think he'd have a better shot on his own personally. I said that he has charisma and not much else, but I didn't say that he wouldn't be electable because of that. The normal democrat tactic seems to be to avoid making controversial stances on issues to avoid alienating voters, like what john kerry did last time around. Obama made a good speech at the convention two years ago. Other than that I haven't seen him really take forceful stances on issues. His notoriaty comes from his charisma and nothing else, that's my current problem with him. That may well chage before the 08 elections

If the Dems are smart they will run Bill Richardson the govenor of New Mexico. Hes on Dim I would vote for.

You have to be at least 12 years old to go to an island with half-naked women.

Like FDR getting us back from the depression...and Kennedy saving us from nuclear war with Cuba and Russia...and Clinton giving us a national surplus.Rough times man, Rough times.

Yes great things,

FDR was aware of a Japanese attack, where was unknown, but did little to prepare or warn US Forces Pacific, there is documentation. Wanted the war for the economy, a trend. Allready in Proxy war with Germany with Lend Lease and US Navy escorts of Convoys out of Halifax (DD Reuban James?) Allied with a mass murderer (Uncle Joe Stalin, the Russian purges higher death toll than Hitler, and look what we got for being allies, a 50 year Cold War)

Kennedy, gave us tax cuts for the economy, guess that is a wrong idea today. Good move on Cuba, but opened the door for an 12 year involvement in Vietnam (Diem killed, US Advisors, etc, Read "Bright and Shinning Lie", R Vann, The Beginnings of the Vietnam Conflict)

And our National Poster Child for Sexual Predator Laws, Clinton. Let kids know that oral sex is not sex, lieing to Congress and the people on National Television is OK, " I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Bubble economy built on DOTCOMS and temp High tech companys. Several "Meals on Wheels", military adventures, cut and ran after 18 Rangers die in Somalia, does nothing on WTC attack #1, the USS Cole, nothing, but embolden our potential enemies. Sold missile tech to China, nuclear reactor to N Korea (look how much power thye are putting out with that baby, you did see the pic of NK at night).

Yep, gotta love the Dems........

Elections anymore are just pickin the lessor of two evils, and you end up gettin what you are taxed for.

Eisenhower debated pulling out all assets in Vietnam in 1959. HoChiMihn came to Eisenhower in 1954 for help when the UN drew the line across Vietnam on the 17th, and set up the two Vietnams, his war was for the removal of the French and a unified Vietnam. But since he was from Hanoi, hense the North, we did not help him and he went to the Russians. Kennedy kept US Advisors in, and then realized the problems and was looking also at a withdrawal, but the Diem assasination changed priorities, but unfortuanatly Kennedy was shot a few weeks later. Johnson (D) with a fabricated incident (Gulf of Tonkin) got us fully involved and Nixon (a R) got us out.

Also the Democrats (Dixiecrats, Al Gore's dad was one of them) resisted the Civil Rights Admendment, only the Republicans in Congress got it passed and the law of the land.

Why?

What is it about Mrs. Clinton that inspires such hatred?
