Invisible Pelosi, Speaker Pelosi, President Pelosi?
Don Surber weighs in with some thoughts about the future Speaker of the House:
[W]ho is Grandma Pelosi? According to the liberal Center for Responsive Politics, her net worth in 2005 was between $14,746,108 and $55,085,000, thanks to her real-estate holdings in the San Francisco area….Given that the richest member of the House is also a Democrat and the three richest senators are all Democrats, I get a chuckle any time a liberal refers to Republicans as the party of the rich….
She is rated 100 percent by NARAL, the pro-abortion group. She gets an F from the National Rifle Association. She gets a 100 percent rating from the National Education Association. She gets a 0 percent rating from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which wants to crack down on illegal immigration. Then she turns around and calls Republicans extremists….
[S]he voted against adding prescription coverage to Medicare because she did not get her way. After that, how can anyone on Medicare ever vote for her again? Then there is energy. She opposed making it easier to build new refineries, she opposed drilling in the arctic, and she opposed even having a Web site promoting the use of Yucca Mountain, Nev., as a nuclear waste dump. On top of that, she wants to regulate energy prices. This is liberalism that has not matured from its sit-in-the-dark-and-freeze-to-death energy policies of the 1970s.
AJ Strata underlines Surber’s point about the invisible woman becoming President through impeachment, which is sort of its own GOTV effort, we suppose, for Republicans, though it seems absurd to us. Who should President Cheney appoint as Vice President? Tom DeLay? Bush 41? Joe Lieberman? Mark Foley?
