Pelosi: Democrats ready to lead 08/11/2006 - 17:39:25
Set to become the US' first female speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi says Democrats are "ready to lead" in partnership with Republicans, "not in partisanship".
President George Bush called Pelosi with congratulations this morning after Democrats took firm control of the House, rebounding after a dozen years in the minority.
Pelosi, 66, who made history four years ago when she became the first woman to lead a party caucus in either house of Congress, will become third in line of succession to the president when she is elevated to the speaker's position at the beginning of the new Congress in January.
It will be the highest elective office ever reached by a woman in the US.
Pelosi will be formally re-elected as her party's leader, and its nominee to be speaker, when the Democratic caucus meets on November 16 to choose its standard-bearers for the next Congress.
Democrats, Pelosi said, "intend to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history".

Except for the democrats? What about Harry lying on his Senate report about 2 lucrative land deals? How about something like, say, $10 grand was it, in a freezer?

Okay, Nancy, here is the first test. In January of this year, a senator from your party filed her fourth fraudulent FEC report from her 2000 campaign. She filed a false declaration to the court on April 7. She participated in a conspiracy to collapse a public company, Stan Lee Media. Nancy, what are you going to do about that?
Yes.
Cool, hear that folks. The Democrat Congressional delegation is going to step down in mass. That would be the only ethical thing to do after the last several years.
Murtha, you can be first hot shot.
So Jefferson, Reid, Obama, Menendez and Pelosi are going to resign from Congress?
Maybe now the Republicans will change, and take the offensive, and make loud noises about Alcee.
Ya think?
Man the Democrats go head-on in a charge every time and the RINOS shrink and cower and say Don't hit me, please, please.
I'll believe they've changed when they shout loud and clear about Hastings background and not until.
I was more impressed by her talk of bi-partisanship... Translated, it means, if the Republicans don't do what we want to do, they are obstructionists. Remember Bush 41 getting hoodwinked by all the bi-partiscan bull-crap back in 1990? Obstructing what they want to do is almost a duty to anyone with a conscience.
Were her lips moving? OK then, she was lying.
Within a week (probably less) this will be seen for what it is. She is one of the best PanderLiars they have.
She better hope that crooked RAT Jefferson loses in a runoff.
Or perhaps she should talk to Alcee Hastings about ethics.
Ethics and RATS don't mix.
Bush has only vetoed one law in 6 years. He's not going to start vetoing them now.
Yeah, all this deference to values and soft peddling. We'll soon see where that takes us. Can you say "Road to Nowhere".
That's easy to disprove - AG should keep looking into Reid + Menendez
More unbelievable is what she just asked the President:
She is requesting an IRAQ summit!!!
Can you say WAR BY COMMITTEE????......She is an amazing stupid twit.
Read Do As i Say (Not As I Do) by Peter Schweizer.
The woman is a total hypocrite.
I'll remember this the next time I get a one-million-dollar windfall from property of which I never had any legally-binding ownership. I'll just 'amend' my reports, too. That should satisfy them, right?
Riiiiiight.
We've heard this before...
And if Alcee Hastings does indeed become the Intelligence Chairman that throws this idea out the window.
Sometime in January. It'll be a national holiday in Iran, North Korea and Red China, that's for sure.
Doug, It sounds like we have a few letters to the editors brewing when the 110th Congress convenes.
I wish I had a recording of Bill claiming an ethical administration was at hand.....darn....
Let me tell you . She is real liberal.
