Nancy Pelosi's Memory Problem

Well it seems after the Democrats heavy losses lately, Nancy Pelosi is pulling a major "I'm taking my ball home" act. She's using House rules to shut down Republicans from even being a part of the debate to bills that are being sent through the House.

My my Nancy, you seem to be losing your long term memory. Perhaps it's time to hang it up? Perhaps it's time for a doctor's appointment to check for Alzheimer's? Because less then 3 years ago, Nancy put forth a "Minority Bill Of Rights" that would guarantee those in the minority, regardless of which party, would be allowed Republicans to be on the floor.

Pelosi's document, which she vows to honor if Democrats regain the majority, says: "Too often, incivility and the heavy hand of the majority" have silenced Democrats and choked off "thoughtful debate." She called on the majority to let the minority offer meaningful amendments and substitutes to important bills.

Well we can see how well she keeps her "vows". She's wanting to change rules that have been in effect for 185 years. This is why you have such low ratings Nancy, you don't keep your word on anything. You claim that in Democrat's "first 100 hours" that you were going to clean up Congress, make 5 day work weeks mandatory, and get rid of the "culture of corruption".

When Tom Delay was indicted you had this to say:

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, of California, called the indictment "the latest example that Republicans in Congress are plagued by a culture of corruption at the expense of the American people.

But just a little while later, you allow William Jefferson, a suspected corrupt member of your own party, to be promoted to a Homeland Security position of power. Because that's what America needs Nancy, a man in charge of our security who is suspected of being able to be bought and paid for.

If you want your approval rating to be above President Bush's, then you need to start acting like a responsible leader rather than a hypocritical, power hungry weasel. But right now, you're leading an organization that's trailing the President by 4% (29% vs. 33%) and yet you claim to have American opinion on your side. Face facts: You don't.
