Which Speaker of the House was/is worse?

[jorno67]

of the past 4 Speakers?

[Kaleva]

1. Newt should have killed the impeachment against Clinton.

[Dappleganger]

2. Drunk or sober?

[jorno67]

5. I think you have to consider both and average it out based on a

"words slurred per sentence per speech" formula...

[hifiguy]

3. As much as I despised Newt and Beefy McBratwurst

The Orange Boner stand in a class of ineptitude and drunken stupidity that is unique.

4. I would be interested to hear the logic behind anyone on DU picking Pelosi.

Please, do tell.

[Tx4obama]

7. I can't believe anyone on DU would pick Pelosi as the worst!

As speaker, Pelosi was able to get over 500+ bills passed, so far Boehner's tally is 12

So,if Boehner holds at the same rate he will have a grand total of 48 in the same amount of time.

I think many folks never gave Pelosi the credit she deserved.

[PeaceNikki]

10. Agreed.

[jorno67]

16. and the right/fox news did a great job trying to destroy her.

[bigwillq]

23. I can't believe anyone on DU takes a DU poll seriously.

Just cast my vote for Pelosi.

:rofl:

[Wait Wut]

11. Logic?

You're asking for too much.

I've talked to a few moderate Dems that weren't crazy about her, but none would pick her over Newt or Boehner. Wait...is he still on TV? If not...

John, get off DU, NOW before I tell Nancy!

[PeaceNikki]

12. lol

[Wait Wut]

13. Clarify "worst"

Do you mean most dangerous or most incompetent?

[jorno67]

14. I would define it as who did the most damage to US citizens

whether that be thru greed/arrogance/incompetence...etc

[Wait Wut]

15. Hmmmm...

Sounds like Boehner wins, but Newt scared the hell outta me. I still think the man has some serious mental issues.

[treestar]

19. Pelosi gets heat here for not impeaching Bush

She was also called "spineless" during the Congress where she was Speaker under Bush. It's like Congress had all that magical power then which Obama is supposedly having now.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Nikki, this place is overrun with posters who would vote *exacty* that way.

Their logic is clear. They actually think she was the worst. They post their true thoughts on other forums.

[PeaceNikki]

21. Yes, it was somewhat rhetorical.

There are VERY few polls that I think answers should result in banning, but this is one I could see falling into that category. I totally understand (but don't personally agree with) the contempt for Pelosi, but picking her in this poll, given the options, seems like a clear indication that you're a fucking freeper. No question.

6. Boehner is the dumbest man, Bachman the dumbest woman in

the House.

No argument!

[hifiguy]

9. Boehner is not the dumbest

in any group that includes Steve King and Louie Gohmert. Close, but he's not quite the dumbest.

[DURHAM D]

8. Go back a couple more - Jim Wright (D)

[nomb]

17. Too early to vote on who damaged the People the most. Ask me Tuesday.

[Shandris]

18. Boehner.

Newt may have been borderline incompetent, and although I doubt a single person here truly respects him, as an adversary he WAS at least MARGINALLY effective. Boehner isn't even that. He's simply a hostage to a group of whiny toddlers who know only one word -- 'NO'.

[Shagbark Hickory]

22. The speaker of the house should be a neutral third party. I wish we could try that and see what

happens

[trueblue2007]

24. BONER.... DEFINATELY
