WTF!!!! I just heard on MSNBC that Nancy Pelosi supports limited strikes on Syria

[bigdarryl]

Anyone living in her district call her and tell her hell no Nancy

[RevStPatrick]

1. Of course she does.

You don't get to be the 12th richest member of Congress, with an estimated net worth of $58million without having some war stocks.

Besides, AIPAC loves her, and she would like to keep it that way.
She did oppose both Iraq wars, but that's because she is smart enough to know that boots on the ground were a bad idea.

Bombs away!!!

[tomp]

10. ...or that some democrats have to look progressive now and then.....

....to maintain credibility. i'm sure she knew there would be enough votes to get us into iraq anyway. this is how the game is played.

2. Tweety was praising her last week for NOT wanting to impeach "W's" admin

when she was Speaker - recall her emphatic speech on that topic? She seemed quite angry the subject should even be introduced.

Tweety then said that Bohner should do the same to his nut jobs who want to impeach Obama.

And now she is for limited "strikes."

Ole Nancy - she's quite a progressive gal.

3. Yawn, the Democratic leadership will rally around the President

It will take public pressure on the rank and file members to push back on this. IF it is to be pushed back... The Dem leaders will be the last to bend if the President remains decided on this..

[TBF]

4. Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi?

How is this a surprise?

[morningfog]

5. When Obama said he was going to Congress, he knew he had the votes.

He wouldn't have said it otherwise.

[Igel]

6. I'm sure that Cameron's cabinet "knew" he had the votes, too.

Sometimes I wonder that people think the word "know" means.

"Suspect"?

"Believe"?

[Hippo_Tron]

11. Nothing's certain except for death and taxes, but...

I think that the vote counters are right far more often than not.

[blkmusclmachine]

7. No "War For Profit."

Pelosi is very corrupted. IMO

[avaistheone1]

9. It has become all to apparent.

Pelosi has become a turn coast and a turn-off.

[avaistheone1]

8. Whether you are in her district or not call her office.

I know they don't like the calls from out of district voters. But tough cookies, SHE is the house minority leader of the Democrats and she has the most influence how the Democratic vote on Syria will shape up.

She needs to hear our opinions and our anger. Pelosi can not hide from us.

[polichick]

12. "Our representatives" don't give a shit what the people want.

On edit: Make that MOST of "our representatives"...

13. When the Median Home Values are around 3/4 of a million dollars,

Marin County, CA ... takes a lot of MIC money to live there
