Pelosi is a devout Catholic? Really? Heath must have missed where she got in the p-ing match earlier this year with the Catholic Bishops over her - uh.. interpretation of the Bible and the Churches stance on abortion.

I'm also thinking that her stating that the Healthcare "Reform" legislation that she rammed through Saturday breaking all her promises to have it be posted for at least 72 hours before a vote was "fair" in that it punishes citizens with fines and/or jail time for not purchasing an "appropriate" level of insurance.

Gee Nancy, you must interpret the Constitution the same way you interpret that Bible.

This is why I don't like politics anymore. There was a time when party didn't matter as much, a person could talk nicely about their opponents, even be friends with them, like Reagan and O'Neal or Kennedy, but I guess those days are over. All either side wants to do now is tear the other apart however they can. Where's the third and fourth party when you need them?

Do gays even know it's Christmas time at all?

"I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives...I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ."

Especially a devout guitarist should have learned the lessons from Footloose.

unsourced gossip

This is unsourced gossip.

The politco article references anonymous "Pelosi allies" and then presents us with a Letterman style top ten list, complete with "dishonorable mentions."

Politics is like pro-wrestling. Only the mouthbreathers think it's real.

I've got two tickets to Pelosi/Shuler Thunderdome if any Republicans are buying.

What an enviable position for a smart democrat! Pelosi is at the top of other lists of Congress critters also - the ones we'd most like to see
NOT in service!

Really Nancy...I do believe you are mistaken.

This guy doesn't seem to agree...

Nancy, where are you getting these numbers?

I am sure the reason the Senate pool is for men only is so that when Teddy Kennedy is in the pool there won't be any "accidents" with the female members of the Senate.

Precious.

The Republican nominated "quote of the day" folks, is Kennedy is finally dead.

Maybe you guys can get a two-for-Tuesday if Byrd dies too. WOOHOO!

I did not want to get into Dole-bashing as a response, but if the men would not listen to her then maybe she should have spoken up more in the committee meetings. I like Dole, but I don't think that she prepared herself for these meetings and therefore had nothing to say. I go to town hall meetings and know the type. They just pick up the packet and skim through it ten minutes before the meeting. I don't think Hagan will be this way. She may not vote the way I like all the time, but she already seems much more engaged in her work than Dole was. The reason the Democrats got more money this time is because K Street hedged their bets toward the likely winners. My "research" came from the Wall Street Journal on that point.

By the way...this state has no clue what they voted for in Hagan...she failed to take a stance on countless issues and she told us that she would let us know when she got to DC...we could guess that she would be indebted to Schumer for about $21 million...and he is VERY LIBERAL.

She is beholden to the campaign promises she made and she voted NO on the bailout...political positive for the elections....yet as soon as she is not in a heated election and hopes that in 6 years people will forget this vote... We will not.

Talk about the is just rhetoric...which party received more money from K-Street during the election? It was the Democrats.

Secondly her term just started a mere week ago and she has already changed her position on the bailout and co-sponsored a horrible piece of legislation. Hagan lied during her campaign and now will be a blank check for the Democrats...

By the way...Dole did work, but it is hard to do work when the Men's Club does not really value the opinion of a women...watch to see how Hagan handles the situation. She will be a puppet for Reid and Schumer like she was for Rand and Basnight.

These are just tirades of rhetoric...they are facts...do some research...

At least Hagan actually does work when she is elected. And as for the special interests, K Street is the Republican graveyard for elected officials and connected individuals. Why must we rehash these tired old attack pieces on Kay Hagan? I don't know her personally, but I can say that this state was ready for a good work ethic and more enthusiasm for the job.

Re: Hagan: Discrimination still exists

CitizenOpinionated — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:08:41 -0500

By the way...I thought Hagan touted her ability to avoid being influenced by special interest. But the American Justice Association, formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, throw her a nice DC fundraiser as well as contribution $10,000 through their PAC. Not to mention all the contributions by those pesky Trial Lawyers, except maybe John Edwards...he had other things to deal with.
