10. Pelosi, How Many Times Have You Been Asked to Impeach Bush?
Tell, me, I'd like to know. I am pretty sure it's been more often and more vocal than Paulsons bluster for 700 Billion.

The truth be told, Pelosi ended up voting for the bailout anyway, which proves that she is nothing more that a DLC Corporate Stooge, a central bank soldier, or consigliore to the devil.

That woman is just about as scary as Palin. Honestly.

2. THIS is what the Repukes were crying about?
Given the Repugs' criminal management of this economy, they're lucky Pelosi didn't take a shit on the podium and hand out spoons.

3. Vote for this!
It seems she knows the bill will fail, and this story has only begun.

Will this lead to impeachment? LOL

4. Yes, she knew the Repukes didn't have the votes, so she unloaded on them.

6. Clearly, this was not the reason they voted against it en masse
This is a political stunt. That is all.

11. Pelosi wants to keep Dems in power
I believe that it was her assessment that impeaching Bush would harm the Democratic Party's numbers in Congress. Obviously, the Republicans must have some dirt on the Democrats.

12. that's a non sequitur
impeachment has nothing to do with failure, or with anything she said in that speech. If you asked her that, she'd say what are you talking about?

14. No it's not
If she's now admitting what monumental fuck-ups the Repubs are, then why was she so adamant about stopping them from harming us?

8. Pelosi has really being going up in my estimation in recent months. In a world without Republicans>
she would of been America's greatest speaker. Like most instance the GOP have worked hard to be uncooerative.

13. Nancy is guilty as hell...
Of telling the truth about Bush and the neoCON's rape pillage and plundering of America. The GOP can't handle the TRUTH!

The Shit is trickling down on the republicans and they know it's thir own damned fault. 5 tax cuts for the wealthy, trillion Dollar wars and deregulation, are ALL the GOP's doing. Now they want you and me to pay for it!
