Pelosi should invite Hastert to a debate.

[Idioteque]

In nations with parliamentary systems, party leaders debate each other over the party's national platform.

Refusing to debate would be bad press for Hastert. If he did except, he would fail miserably.

2. Refusing To Debate Would Be BAD Press For hastert?

Worse than what? He's obviously gotten away with TONS AND TONS OF SHIT, so why would not debating Pelosi be even a blip on the screen?

The public doesn't care. Now if they went at it with weapons, that they could get into. But a debate, nobody would watch, and it would NEVER happen anyways.

edit- It would be great to see Congressional leaderships debating.

5. All Nancy Pelosi has to say is,

"Rep. Hastert, I want to debate you, live on TV." Then watch him squirm. :D

6. Nah.. she would take far too much flak for suggesting they debate....

The media and the r-THUGS would pound on her claiming that it's not her -- it's the voters who will decide.

Plus.. even though the debate would be GREAT --there's no way in Hell Hastert-the-Bastard would accept the invite.. and the wingnuts would ((((SPIN)))) the offer out of control; suggesting that she's too confident that she has this in the bag.

8. This is not a parliamentary system

and Hastert won't even debate his opponent, John Laesch in his Congressional race - why would he debate Pelosi - also the real right wing nut cases are screaming oh my God the world will come to and end if Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the house - why would she want to bring attention to this. Although over all this election has HUGE national importance - when push come to shove the truth is each Congressional race is a local race....

10. great idea!

What would Hastert have to fight back with? "Nancy Pelosi doesn't want the boy scouts to be able to use public parks" Well how about Rep Hastert supports a senseless war that is only serving to kill thousands of our young men and women and hundreds of thousands of the very people it was supposed to liberate, supports giveaways to big drug companies, big oil, shipping our jobs overseas, record deficits and covers up for pedophiles preying on congressional pages. uh, well, uh she wants let gays get married. Sorry, Denny, you lose!

11. Excellent Idea

[texasleo]

12. Horrible idea

The media would crucify her.


Bank on that.
