Nancy Pelosi and Other Idiots

Yesterday it was revealed that the House and the President had come together in a bipartisan effort to put together an economic stimulus package. The proposed package would send checks ranging from $600-$1200 to most Americans. This sounds great and I'm in favor of such a plan.

What I'm not in favor of is "leaders" such as Nancy Pelosi who stand in front of the media touting the new plan and the hand she had in creating it, but then hedges her bet by adding that the plan isn't exactly what she wanted. WHAT?!?!

So now what we have is this "leader" standing up and taking credit for this plan and how quickly it was put together, but making sure that she has wiggle room in case things don't work out. You can bet your bottom dollar that if things go south with this plan we will hear all about the reservations she had to begin with. The fact that she had a hand in creating it will for some reason be forgotten. The media will have no problem helping her do this, just as they had no problem is trying to persuade voters that the 2004 election was over by mid-afternoon and that Kerry had won, thus making people think that their vote didn't matter and that they shouldn't waste time even going to the polls.

This reminds me of one of the great idiots of our time....John Kerry. The man who never really could get it straight on his war vote. In 1991 Kerry voted against the first Gulf War, a war in which Iraq took aggressive action, but then in 2002 he voted for the war when Iraq took no aggressive action. Or what about when Kerry voted in favor of the Patriot Act in 2001 saying that it, "has to do with things that really were quite necessary in the wake of what happened on Sept. 11th". Then while campaigning in 2003 he was in favor of, "replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time". So which is it John?

This is what you get when you continue to push career politicians through election after election without taking a look at their voting record and noticing what idiots they are. It makes me wonder about the water quality of the state of Massachusetts when they continue to elect the Kennedy/Kerry idiot tag team.

Love your rant. When did "statesman" cease to be a qualification for national office anyway?
