By God, Pelosi is doing something in the House

[Yawn]

And if she cares about America the way she does her staffers in D.C., well, she's the perfect Democrat!

Yawn...

 

[Yawn]

Hurry Buddah. Today's House lunch has tofu on the menu...

Yawn's just doing his job. He represents the vital processed cheese industry.

 

[Yawn]

And your job is to cheer on her mundane, meaningless, irrelevant policy work.

That's who you wanted. You got her.

I don't know if you're still Populist Yawn, but surely you don't think that raising the minimum wage was mundane, meaningless or irrelevant.

Do you?

 

[Yawn]

It was token, man. What they raised it to still doesn't put sufficient bread on the table for those who must rely on it. It proclaims "Look, We're Doing Something" while keeping their votes enslaved.

On the morning after a big Republican primary and a Democratic debate, this is what FNC led with today.
Pelosi: Italian for "disappointment." The damsel has been too busy enjoying the perks of the speakership to lift a finger vis a vis getting us out of Iraq.

That might be, but it's more than people got out of how many years of GOP House rule?

 

[Yawn]

Finally, A liberal who knows the truth.

So you going to vote her ass out, Terrier?

 

[Ace]

Yawn,

Don't you find it a bit ironic that your right-wingers are left only to complain that Nancy Pelosi and her crew aren't moving fast enough to fix all the crap that your boys have done for the past eight years?

 

[Yawn]

It's because she had no intention to, no leadership charisma to, and is full of fail, to borrow a popular term on here of late.

She's an elitist, period.

As opposed to Denny Hastert and Tom (This Space For Rent) deLay?
Well, yes, thanks.

Well, so am I. I don't know why I even deign to answer your populist posts.

I think Yawn has a point. This Congress shouldn't be about what DeLay didn't do, but rather about rectifying those things the last Congress neglected: specifically economic reform and Iraq, neither of which Pelosi has been particularly aggressive about addressing.

It's simple math. In order to override a Presidential veto you need 2/3 of the Senate and (I think) 2/3 of the House. With such a slim majority, it's impossible.

A fairer -- although not necessarily more accurate -- criticism would be that Pelosi and Reid weren't able to change the minds of enough Republicans. IMHO, changing that many peoples' minds is an impossible task.

More proof that math sucks.

Chant the Democrap mantra, Fen: "It's All About Power, Not Action."

You need a tissue?

Waaaah. We got elected, promising change and ...waaaah...these Republicans are stonewalling us......waaaahh...doing the same thing we did to them....waaaaah....sniff, snort, hack.....

 

[Ace]

I believe the Republicans and their lackeys and sycophants are the only ones crying.

 

[andyouare?]

You can call it whining, but it still doesn't change the facts. Of course, I don't know of any Democrats who are satisfied with the job the House and Senate have done, but when it comes to overriding vetoes, 2/3 is 2/3.

The good news they won't have to worry about the pesky math in Jan. 2009.

Hillary+larger majority in the House+larger majority in Senate=The Perfect Society!!!

Abortions and health care for all. Declaration of all religion as illegal. European-style taxes.

I can't wait.
