If you need a reason to inderstand all the rage directed at the Speaker you need look no further than "YOU HAVE TO PASS IT TO SEE WHAT"S IN IT". Referring of course to the health care bill. Her condesension amd arrogance knows no bounds. How good a politician she is will be determined in November.

Democrats are asking Pelosi to step down. Democrats don't even want to be
seen with Obama, either.
Democrats are digging their own graves. The reason is because Democrats do
everything based on "getting votes". They're not trying to solve problems.
Democrats are flip-floppers (to get votes), and they have no principles.

The writer is correct in one aspect of the article. Her father was the leader of the Democ-rat party in the Little Italy section of Baltimore but he had a great raport with ALL the ethnic groups of the City.
One of the great things he tried to do was pry open the immigration system before and during World War II and allow more refugees from Nazism into America. He went up against the State Department bureaucracy, especially the anti-Semitic Breckenridge Long, a personal friend of Franklin Roosevelt. It was a mostly losing fight but Thomas D'Allesandro will always be remembered, along with Will Rogers, Jr, for making the attempt.
What a contrast to today's Democ-RAT Party where 54 of San Fran Nan's House members, all Democ-RATS, signed a letter calling on President Obama to suspend aid to israel because Israel has the temerity to defend itself against the rockets being fired into it from Gaza. San Fran Nan had noting to say about this letter which is quite a contrast to her courageous father who stood up to the most popular president in American history up to that time. She deserves ALL of the abuse directed at her and she will be humiliated on November 2nd worse than any other House Speaker who personally survived reelection (e.g. Tom Foley who lost reelection in 1994).
To say that this evil woman is beneath contepmt is to raise her stature.

"If Nancy's ARM was not so far up..."

If Nancy's are was not so far up BO's behind that she can scratch his itchy ears, this situation probably wouldn't be the case. Don't blame it on a political group; anyone watching can see who's really wearing the pants in D.C. - and they don't hang in the White House closets.

both these broads should be hung as traitors. In fact the entire administration and 90 percent of congress should be imprisoned for maleficence in office and theft of taxpayer money.

Several of the really hard-to-read comments underline the author's point that some folks vent hateful and irrational vile toward Pelosi because she is competent. Makes me wonder what great things those letter writers have done in their lives. Envy is a destructive emotion. I don't get how they are so against health care reform. Do they earn millions as CEOs of health insurance firms? I don't get how working people could not be great fans of Pelosi. Unless they see themselves as folks with great future wealth droping from the sky and thus don't need corporations reined in to stop taking advantage of those of us who need a paycheck to live.

Liberal women are self consumed and Pelosi is their poster child. Her approval rating is beyond a joke, in fact, it is down right shameful. America is tired of her pro-lesbian, anti-man, child butchering ways........but then again she is just following the feminist agenda.

When the November elections are over we will see what the public thinks of the job Nancy is doing. I expect that she will end up losing her job as speaker of the house. ABC news reported yesterday that 63 Democratric house seats appear to be in jeopardy. The Rebublicans need only 40 to fire her. The public sees her as too liberal, too arrogant, too confronataional and too eliteist. Her approval ratings are much lower than Obama's. Time for her to go.
