NANCY PELOSI: REPUBLICAN "MOLE" OR JUST STUPID?

As a Conservative and one who pretty much disagrees with Nancy Pelosi on everything, I had a passing thought.  What if the House Speaker is secretly working for the Republicans, trying to help them regain their majority in Congress in 2010? 

Look at some basic facts.  Every major issue of concern with the American people, be it the War On Terror, national security, environmental legislation, military spending, or health care, she has taken the exact opposite position in regards to what polling data shows and what the people want.  Ever since Obama took office her popularity has sunk in the eyes of the public and behind the scenes Democrats cringe every time she gets in front of the microphone and camera.

Her public announcement Sunday, calling on Democrats to pass health care legislation without bipartisan support may have confirmed my suspicions.

"Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public. We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."

That pretty much translates into, go ahead and push a disastrously bad piece of legislation down the throats of Americans and just forget about your re-election possibilities. You'll be taken care of in the unemployment line.  That statement alone has her admitting that the bill is unpopular yet she continued in her deranged rationality by saying...

"It took courage for Congress to pass Social Security and Medicare, which eventually became highly popular, and many of the same forces that were at work decades ago are at work again against this bill."

Besides the fact that a majority of Americans know that those two government programs are the worst examples of government mismanagement, bankrupting our country now, they are also the classic example for not passing another major social program involving Washington's oversight. She has completely omitted, or forgot that those programs were done with bipartisan support!  As for them being popular with Americans? It's more like they are now a necessary evil we must endure. They truly are "too big to fail".

So, here we have Pelosi calling for wholesale career destruction by Congressional Democrats as well as her recent refusal to address the Charlie Rangel issue, added to the numerous times she has tried to cut funds to our military, undermined their efforts in the war, sided with the terrorists in how they are handled after capture and falsely claiming publicly that the CIA has lied to her, Congress, and the American people. This is the voice of Democratic leadership going into 2010. One has to wonder if the voice is going down in flames. A crash and burn strategy developed by evil Republicans in the dark halls and bathrooms of Congress. Have they actually gotten to Nancy?  Convinced her to take her liberal rants to new levels. Surely she couldn't think up all this on her own.  Then again maybe it is what it is.  Just an out of touch, over the edge liberal, spouting off mindless drivel to America.

As far as Nancy being a Republican "mole" in the Democrats camp?  I couldn't say for sure that she is but it would be entertaining and you know many moderate Democrats must be wondering the same.  A more accurate assessment may be that from her plain stupidity she unwittingly is giving support to the GOP. That being said, keep up the good work Nancy!
