Pelosi's appearance and demeanor. Red herring or reason to vote Republican?

Actually, Murtha is planning to run for majority leader, not speaker. There is a difference.\n\nI'd love to know what aspects of appearance and demeanor you mean. The fact that she is outspoken and opinionated? Or the fact that she is a woman? \n\nAnyway, why are you so worried about Pelosi as speaker? What on earth does the speaker do? What has Denny Hastert done over the past six years?

There is merit in your statements. Research into todays Neocons will reveal a lot of former Democrats. People like Wolfowitz and Kristol are more simpatico with Democrats then with traditional paleocon Republicans. Point of fact, Neocon Republicans today despise old style Republicans. Folks like Buchanan and Tancredo are anathema to Neocons. Rove and Tancredo within the last year actually had a shouting match at the White House. November 7th could portend a split within the Republican party.

I think most people already realize that. What I am wondering if people will notice is how Nancy Pelosi has totally condemned all Republicans as corrupt, stated she is going to run the most honorable congress ever and is proposing leadership positions for some Democrats who literally define corruption among the party. Get ready it is just politics as usual in Washington. Don't pay attention to what I do just listen to what I say. I am an independent, but I voted for the Republicans at the national level. It didn't matter to me whether they would win or not. I just refused to vote for the side that proposed no solutions and based their whole platform on the other side is bad. We need solutions to problems, but what we are going to get is more politics as usual.

I would definitely vote for a woman. The idea that women are too emotional is a stereotype. Even so, I'd rather have someone who is emotional and sensitive over someone whose emotion is expressed in mindless bravado, like the current president. Unfortunately, the red states will never go for a woman and the GOP won't have a woman as their candidate until the 22nd century. They seem to run about 100 years behind progress.

That's a lie?\n\nHeck, I heard that on page 258 of their "How to" manual that the Democrats were classifeid as "user friendly". \n\nCome to think of it... I think  someone told me there was a picture of you!!!

Republican.  I do vote for the best candidate or issue based on their own merit.  I am not a "Party Line" guy.

If it is not contrived, I think it can be.  \n\nObviously, a party has a platform, or agenda.  It follows that there will be rhetoric.  \n\nHopefully the intentions are to adhere to the platform, since that is the basis for their constituency.

Yes, because her ego will force her to run.\n\nIf the Democrats are dumb enough to nominate her, Republicans will come out of the woodwork to vote against her.

I think they have increased, Nancy Pelosi (I don't know how to spell her name) says she will not work with the Republicans and she can't wait to have a lame duck President. If she is the future of the Democratic party they are headed even further downhill then I thought. I did notice that the Democrat running for US Senate in Tn. is more of a Republican then a Democrat his only issue I saw that matches the Dem's is Universal health care plan.

Isn't it Nancy Pelosi?

no  , I don't think she will be elected, she is intelligent,  but she does not have the ability to unite   enough people to vote her in. Her politics are extremely left wing , yet she plays the middle when it suits her..she has stayed with her husband only because of her political desires.She is actually more intelligent than her husband , yet she lacks his charm, warmth and ability to fool people enough to  vote for her, or to be  a good president.

Still sounds like good enough reasons to be Republican in my book.\n\nEDIT:  They'll never get it.  Eye for an eye.  Don't pass children through the fires of Molech (hedonism).  Don't worry about it, they'll get it when a criminal has a gun to their head.

The Republicans are more supportive of their colleagues IF they are clean. They are quick to scorn their colleagues if their colleagues are not clean. THE DEMOCRATS, ON THE OTHER HAND, AWARD THEIR EXPOSED FILTHY COLLEAGUES AS IN THESE SITUATIONS:::::::::::::In 1990, PPelosi voted three times to make a convicted page sexual predator,\n former Congressman Gerry Studds (D-Mass.), chair of a congressional committee. \nelosi voted against censuring Barney Frank for having his live-in boyfriend \nrun a prostitution ring from Frank's apartment. \nPelosi raised no objections when Clinton pardoned Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds (Ill.) \nwho had been convicted of felonies for having had sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker. \nThe historic Nancy Pelosi is an authentic representative of San Francisco liberal values and hardly\n has the record to lecture anyone on cleaning up the Congress.

I think the ideals of the Republican party are superior.  Unfortunately, they are not currently practicing these ideals.  So you want to vote Democrat to give Republicans a spanking for their corruption and ineffectiveness.  But you realize Democrats will cause problems for this country because they do not understand reality.  So for this election, you flip a coin and pray!
