Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'
Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."
Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."
Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.
Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."
"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.
Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

The Democrats are a disgrace to America. Thanks for telling us you are, Nancy. Now go and put some on ice on it. You guys are beneath pond scum in the chain of life.

Our party all too often wants to be liked by the Dems. My view is the better approach is to beat the stuffing out of them - not that there's any there to begin with. The Democrats believe in NOTHING!

Actually, I don't think the Repubs were "pulling anything". I think they were trying to clear up matters so the business at hand could be gotten to. Dems have made such a stink over this, the Repubs did the right thing. They mustered a "grievance" hearing. Dems got their "grievance time". And everyone agreed and voted on what a good thing that was to do.
It was.

Her constituents back home will certainly give her no small whupping. Her constituents voted against military recruiters. Then Repubs asked her to vote on whether or not an "immediate withdrawal of troops" per the Democratic "vision" should be approved or not.
She got run up a pole by her own party.

I find it hard to believe that even Pelosi could make such a stupid statement.

I slightly misread that last word, and hissed in a shocked breath in admiration of your boldness and accuracy... and fear of your impending zot.
then I re-read, and saw it was an "r" instead of a "c"

Alas, that particular spelling had not occurred to me, although I appreciate that you think it might have.
